We have taken our Heart of Europe Passion Play Power Point Presentation and converted it to a DVD. We have done this in-house and it isn’t anything fancy, but it allows anyone to do a Passion Play tour presentation on their own without needing any of the computer and projector equipment. All you need now is a TV that can play a DVD. This DVD is perfect for small groups that want an overview of the Heart of Europe tour which includes the Passion Play. If you have an interest in hosting a presentation please contact Justin at 800-968-9161 ext. 253 or email him and let him know what you are planning. We can send you a Tour Presentation Kit which would include your own personal copy of the DVD.

Our current special features the 15-day HEART OF EUROPE® tour and the lowest prices for 2010 if booked by October 30th. As many of you have requested, we will be sending a promotion designed to be forwarded to your clients via e-mail. It will follow this update in a separate e-mail with the subject line of; “Current Europe Special” Click here to see a sample of the “Current Special”.

Finally a good strong sign that good times are near. We have been seeing our brochure request traffic up almost 50% compared to this same time last year. Bookings are starting to come in at a higher pace than last year as well. Please be ready to mail out that brochure when your clients call. An updated brochure cover letter can be downloaded here.

We have recently updated our co-branded website banners for your website. If you are already utilizing the links to these banners, then there is nothing you need to do, they will automatically update themselves. If however, you are not currently utilizing this type of fresh content for your web site that can produce brochure requests, please go to, http://www.imagetours.com/cobrand/logo.html to get the links for our current banners. Also, if you do not have a co-branded page with Image Tours, it is really easy to set one up, and it’s FREE. All you have to do is go to www.imagetours.com/cobrand. Also note that creating a co-branded page will add one more back-link to your web site, which helps with search engine optimization.

We have received a professionally produced DVD from the Passion Play committee, which is about 15 minutes in duration. It is designed to set the EMOTIONAL MOOD and to share the fascinating background of the Oberammergau Passion Play. This DVD would give you the opportunity to be THE authority in your area when it comes to the 2010 Oberammergau Passion Play. You will be the first to have this special DVD. If you promote a presentation including a showing of this DVD, you will have a definite sales advantage on tours including the Passion Play.

What you need to do first is let Image Tours, Inc. know you are open to doing a presentation showing this DVD. Next, you need to pick a venue. A local church would be ideal as they usually have the equipment available to show a DVD to a larger number of people, but any location where you feel comfortable doing the presentation will work. Then you need to set a date for this presentation, sometime between later this month through October would be ideal. Once you have the place and date, Image Tours, Inc. can provide promotional assistance in the form of flyers and postcards to send to your client list, local churches, and other potential audiences. If you have any questions about setting up the presentation, please call Justin Osbon at 800-968-9161 ext. 253.
