The end of March closed out our First Quarter Initiative, the “We Dream In Color” advertising campaign. Below we report the final number of online and phone leads generated by the campaign, which focused primarily on Web-based advertising. The results grew steadily each month, peaking in March with almost 3,500 leads.
To capitalize on the momentum generated by the First Quarter Initiative, we’ve decided to extend the campaign into the second quarter. Although the budget and scope of the campaign will be scaled back considerably, we hope to continue to drive bookings for the summer and fall months. In addition, the year-long Honeymoon Campaign continues and our new Dive Campaign debuts with Sport Diver magazine.

Analysis: Recognizing shifting patterns in the way consumers plan and book travel, TTNA focused on Web-based advertising in its First Quarter Initiative. At this point, the success of the campaign is best measured by the number of Dynamic Planner, Special Offer, and Phone Leads generated. After encouraging results in January and February, March produced the greatest number of leads, with an average of almost 108/day.

Second Quarter Initiative Launches TTNA will continue the “We Dream In Color” campaign into the second quarter (April-June), with ads in select print and online outlets. An extension of the First Quarter Initiative, the Second Quarter campaign, with the participation of Air Tahiti Nui and five opt-in Tour Operator Partners, will again drive consumers to a specially designed landing page (see right), where they can book the lead-in Moorea package (from $1,459) and access the Dynamic Planner. With a reduced budget, it will be difficult to sustain the Web traffic and lead generation of the First Quarter, but this advertising strategy should continue to drive bookings for the summer and fall.

Dive Campaign Launches TTNA recently unveiled its most extensive dive advertising campaign to date. With the participation of Air Tahiti Nui and opt-in Dive Operator Partners, the Dive Campaign consists of a highly tactical, year-long program with both print and online ads placed exclusively in Sport Diver magazine. As the official publication of the PADI Diving Society, and with a circulation of more than 200,000, Sport Diver is one of the dive industry’s leading media outlets. Full-page destination ads will run in six issues of Sport Diver and in the annual “World’s Best Diving & Resorts” guide, and will direct consumers to a specially desgined landing page (see right). On the Sport Diver website, strategically placed banner ads (see right) also lead consumers to the landing page, where they can search Special Offers and use the Dive Dynamic Planner. Leads generated from the Dynamic Planner and Special Offers are sent instantaneously to the participating Dive Operator Partners.

Honeymoon Campaign Rolling Along While the First and Second Quarter Initiatives consist mostly of online advertising, TTNA’s 2006 Honeymoon Campaign features full-page and spread print ads in top bridal magazines. With front-of-the-book placement alongside jewelry and bridal gown ads, the Honeymoon ads provide stunning visual impact and a tactical call-to-action, with both a phone number and website listed (see right). Ads have already appeared in Brides, Modern Bride, and Elegant Bride, with seven more insertions planned throughout the year.
