Club Med is a late
entry in the incentive trips and business gatherings segment of
the travel industry. They are anything but a top-of-mind
choice. In fact, focus groups with travel planners confirmed that
Club Med was thought of as a hedonistic, yuppie-thronged venue
with bare-bones amenities and no interest in, or understanding
of, the world of business. The task was to maximize a very small
budget and begin building awareness and changing perceptions.
Marketing Pathfinding developed a small-space
trade campaign, supported by co-ordinated collateral, that contrasted
stress-inducing business terminology with photography of enticing
and relevant Club Med scenes. The campaign was launched, and over
50 qualified leads were generated for each ad that ran. The sales
team could barely keep up, and loved having that problem.
