Looking to get the marketing edge then try Whoopydoo.

By Rob Malcolm

Whoopydoo is the leading holiday incentive specialists in the UK, operating a wide range of travel based rewards from city breaks, cruises, foreign holidays and even short breaks in the UK. Working with a dedicated travel agency, in conjunction with a wide range of the leading tour operators, Whoopydoo provide holiday offers at a fraction of their normal high street cost.

Holiday promotions consistently out perform other incentives because they hold very high perceived value. As such they are ideal for use in customer acquisition programs, data gathering surveys and as rewards for competitions. This is because most people will take at least one holiday each year and so the opportunity to enjoy a complimentary or very heavily discounted holiday will always appeal. Whoopydoo can supply either a high quality paper booklet or an on-line, downloadable holiday incentive voucher. Paper vouchers are excellent for a face to face or direct selling environment and on-line vouchers excel for e-business applications with high volumes or where the cost of fulfilment via post is cost prohibitive. SMS text messages allow mobile phones to be used with these incentives. A dedicated web site address and unique 12 digit code can be sent via text to a mobile phone. The customer then visits the site when next on-line to download and print out the voucher.

All of the Whoopydoo incentives are totally timeshare free and offer a number of different options for the recipient so that they can always find a holiday that suits their needs. For instance a voucher providing a theme of a complimentary Cruise for 2 people will also have options to take a 7 day self catering holiday for up to 6 people or a city break for 2 to 4 people.

These other choices require a processing fee to be paid of 39 per person. The customer is then sent a holiday offer including return flights and a minimum of 3 star accommodation. When the customer accepts their holiday offer they then pay their APD tax, any fees or surcharges from the airline and provide evidence of travel insurance.

Whoopydoo's web site, whoopydoo.net displays a large number of customer testimonials and many people travel regularly using their promotional vouchers. The testimonials are updated on a monthly basis.

The incentives can be purchased through Whoopydoo's sister division, AIM Solutions. They also run and operate a wide range of lifestyle incentives and promotions for hotel breaks, fun days out, activity days, spa breaks and various dining offers. These incentives are frequently employed by financial institutions, consumer survey companies, fast moving consumer goods and transport organisations to increase acquisitions and promote loyalty.

There is a requirement to purchase a minimum quantity of vouchers and promotions are analysed by AIM to make sure that the Whoopydoo incentive is best suited to the target audience and can deliver the necessary uplift in business and return on investment. Many of Whoopydoo's clients have been using holiday based promotions for several years. It is worth mentioning that as Whoopydoo holiday promotions DO NOT have any timeshare or shared ownership elements or requirements. Whoopydoo don't supply vouchers to companies involved in the timeshare market sector.
