We have a proven forum for you to get your sales message across to a large number of qualified travel agents. It is an extremely cost effective presentation format to deliver your sales message using the communication of your choice. It is a lower cost than conducting and producing your own seminars. We search strategic meeting sites, produce invitations, select the menu and take all the RSVP’S. We will also assist you at the presentation by collecting business cards from all attendees as part of your sales solicitation follow up.
Furthermore, your sponsorship provides you with a one year annual membership in the Eastern Travel Association (ETA). To complete the packaged program we will provide current mailing labels and a membership list for your future sales contacts.
It is our distinct pleasure to invite you to participate by being a sponsor. We are continuing with our dinner forum meetings to be held on the third full week of the month as follows:
Monday, Harrisburg Central Pennsylvania
Tuesday, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Area
Wednesday, Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton Area
As a sponsor you will receive at all three locations:
- Before dinner you may conduct a mini-trade show. This time is designated to mingle with our travel agent members.
- Immediately following dinner you may conduct a one-hour sales presentation at all three locations.
- You will receive publicity in our monthly newsletters, emails and blasts fax to all members. In addition, your website address will be featured on our ETA website during your month of sponsorship.
The sponsorship includes the costs of a reception and dinner for $15.00 per attending member. Sponsorships maybe shared among suppliers with a common theme or destination. In this case we require one sponsor to coordinate the co-sponsors, program and billing for the evening. Primary sponsors are billed for sponsorship costs after the meetings take place and are responsible for collecting the monies of the other co-sponsor.
Please advise us of the number of participating people who will be attending. This will assist us with our final meal count obligations. Door prizes are welcomed and will be mentioned in the newsletter to help maximize attendance. “Only IATAN card holding member agents will be eligible for prizes except when sponsor indicates otherwise.”
Please feel free to fill out the Sponsorship form once you have compleated please print and enclosed the form with your deposit to guarantee sponsorship. As always, ETA officers and executive board members welcome your input and suggestions.
