8. Proven Solutions Leading Travel Company Required a High Profile Event To Maintain Market Superiority Needed To Maintain Working with franchise-owners, I marshaled all aspects of a consumer travel event. With a limited budget, the event provided travel consumers the opportunity to learn about travel options, interact with travel supplier professionals, receive exclusive travel pricing and book their travel at the event if they so desired. The one-day event strengthened brand equity, generated thousands of interested consumers and created over $300,000 in revenue with another $100,000 the following week.
