All monthly winners are then in the running for Admedia’s annual Local Campaign Award in December.
Alfa Travel’s campaign gained recognition for the use of Admedia’s A3 Washroom Panel & Direct Response Slip advertising solutions at key Motorway Service Areas. A competitive advantage was achieved by strategically targeting Motorway Service Areas that are specific stopping points for major UK coach company tours.
The Direct Response Slips included a 10% discount code for Alfa Travel’s holiday breaks to entice potential customers during the lead up to summer. Lee Collett, from Alfa Travel comments:
“We here at Alfa Travel are all delighted to have won this award, it has proved to us that time spent planning these types of marketing activities is time well spent. We are a new team here at Alfa but have been making good progress in changing the style of the coach travel industry and moving Alfa travel to the front of the market”
Chris Templeman, from Admedia comments:
To achieve stand out in the highly competitive Coach Tours industry is not easy, but Alfa Travel have done it well. Working closely with our operations team, Alfa Travel targeted key coach stop hubs. Not only is it tactical; it also emotionally targeted the heart of the holidaymaker, who is in the on-the-move mind set.
