2. How do I know my customers aren't going to

Some
companies spend the money they earn from selling
travel certificates any way they feel like.
Two months, six months, or a year from now there
is no guarantee that they will be able to afford
to travel your customers, clients, or employees. |

6. Why are your travel certificates better
than any other on the market? |
| |
Some companies will
print you off a colorful piece of paper, call it
a certificate, and only charge you $1.00.
Others will charge you a one time or even a
monthly membership fee and allow you to print
off as many vacation certificates as you like.
And some will even pay you a commission when one
of your customers actually travels.
Why
Would They Do That?
The answer is very
simple. They are in the certificate
sales business, not the successful
promotions business. Their sole
purpose is to move as many travel certificates
in as high a volume as possible. They
don't want your customers to travel and create
Terms & Conditions for each certificate that
makes it almost impossible to travel. We
have even seen some certificates that don't
provide any way for a person to redeem it.
No phone number, no fax number, and not even an
address to ship it to. 9 out of 10 times
your customers or employees will call you and
you will be forced into handling travelers
questions instead of focusing on your business.

Customers Travel If They Have No Way To Redeem
