SPIRIT MARKETING INTRODUCTION
Who We Are
Spirit Marketing is the premier global integrated marketing and online advertising firm supporting the travel and hospitality industry in 85 countries. For almost 20 years, we have provided clients with integrated solutions aimed at creating lucrative revenue streams by targeting, and mobilizing specific audiences. We are viewed as an integral part of the sectors we serve, nurturing long standing relationships with key opinion leaders, market influencers and blue-chip airlines.
How We Can Help
We pioneered the development and use of multi-city, global “Destination Guides”. These comprehensive provider directories drive corporate visibility and establish your local knowledge and credibility with your valued customers. Our process calls for zero infrastructure changes, and zero set up costs. As a result, airlines working with us net between $100k-500k a year, and have a scalable, information-rich, action-oriented product for their clients. Our aim is to help you compete and win in emerging, established, and mature travel markets. Our industry knowledge and experience informs our novel approach –one that we believe is a relevant match to your Airlines

SPIRIT MARKETING DESTINATIONS GUIDE
“One’s destination is never a place, but
a new way of seeing things”
- Henry Miller
What We Propose
We would like to discuss a partnership arrangement with the intention of creating, initially, an online directory service for all locations serviced by your Airlines. This directory will follow the general format of our “Destination Guide" solution. The look and feel of the proposed directory will be consistent with your Airlines’ corporate branding and philosophy.
The result for your Airlines? Average annual revenues of $100k-$500k – with zero set up costs, and zero changes in infrastructure.
“Destination Guide” Solution
Discover: Users navigate to a dedicated internet URL to access the "Destination Guide“. A branded welcome page presents a clear starting point – the 'where we fly' option.
Explore: Selecting a service category presents the user with a list of appropriate advertising ‘entries’ and brief information. Choosing one ‘entry’ reveals in-depth information and the option to connect with the ‘entry’, i.e. service provider.

“A journey is best measured in friends,
rather than miles”

“Destination Guide” Solution
From the landing page to selection of an ‘entry’ takes three-clicks. The 'entry' pages are all presented in a common format maintaining a level playing field for all parties. We work with individual service providers to ensure that their messaging and image content are suitable and provide true local knowledge and value.
Current Destination Guides include: US Airways: http://www.vacationdestinationguides.com/

Partnership Benefits
Analysis of your Airlines’ routes and relevant local providers, indicates that a Destination Guide can be built in partnership with your Airlines. Our process has a zero start up cost and removes any need for changes in infrastructure . This valuable service to passengers will increase awareness and traffic and, we believe, provide revenues of $20,000 - $30,000 per month to your Airlines, rising dramatically after the first year.

Just to Clarify – Mutual Definition
The 'construction' (e.g. categories) would be mutually agreed and we would undertake to ensure that entries on the site meet certain criteria as agreed with yourselves. 'Integrity' is obviously an important driver for your Airlines. At Spirit Marketing, we build into client contracts specific clauses which allow us to remove adverts if a service provider fails to consistently meet a defined, standards of integrity. In addition, there would be no conflict with your current advertising as the client base is significantly different.
Taking The Next Step – Permissions
As well as the Destinations Guide site design, we require your written approval of all promotional materials used by Spirit Marketing when selling to prospective providers interesting in advertising in the Guide.We would also ask for a letter of introduction from you to be used by our sales representatives in their approach to prospective clients in new markets.
The result to your Airlines? Average annual revenues of $100k-$500k – with zero set up costs, and zero changes in infrastructure.

“All journeys have secret destinations of
which the traveler is unaware”
- Martin Buber
Taking the Next Step – Structure
Spirit Marketing would look to sign an initial 3 year contract We propose to pay your Airlines, on a quarterly basis, 15% of monies received from clients in their first year of advertising. This will likely rise to 20% then 30% in subsequent years, as our costs reduce over time, and international media coverage and audience awareness exponentially increase.
Ultimately, we expect to significantly increase traffic across your Airlines’ existing websites via links on the Destination Guide pages and through links placed on advertisers own sites.
As advertisers come on board, a discount would be offered if they place a 'reflection' button on their website. This offers us a pool of thousands of relevant, high-traffic websites all funneling business back to your Airlines’ websites, and help deliver distinctive and integrated global services.
The result for your Airlines? Average annual revenues of $100k-$500k – with zero set up costs, and zero changes in infrastructure.
