travelsupermarket in lb11mil Brand Push
DECEMBER 15, 2006. Travel comparison website travelsupermarket.com is gearing up for an lb11m push to grow its profile and customer base in 2007. The bold initiative aims to take the market by storm and steal the march on its competition.
Chris Nixon, head of travelsupermarket.com, said: "We see 2007 as a key year and aim to more than double the level of visitors from an average of 80,000 unique visitors per day in 2006 to over 160,000 per day next year.
"To help drive this, we have increased our marketing spend substantially and have set aside a budget of lb11m. Around lb8m of this will be spent solely on TV, starting with a lb1m campaign spend on television advertising alone for the five weeks from December 26.
"This will not come as a surprise to some as travelsupermarket.com has always been a highly progressive, innovative, fast-growing business. However, one of the contributory reasons for us looking to increase our size and stature at such a dramatic rate is that we have received a lot of recent feedback from our providers telling us they have a great appetite for more visitors and that an excellent way of acquiring them is through travelsupermarket.com."
