Looking toward the 2009 reunion season and beyond Military Locator & Reunion Service, Inc continues to take a proactive role in helping our clients select their reunion destinations. One of the ways is to encourage selected CVB’s to promote their city by listing it as a “Value Destination” on the ML & RS, Inc website. Beginning in 2010, competition for space on the website will probably increase significantly because of a new plan under consideration. Under this plan, only a limited number of cities will be offered as sites where ML & RS, Inc will manage reunions. The participating CVB’s that offer the best incentives, coupled with hotels that offer the best prices are will have an edge on the competition. The ultimate goal is to bring a number of reunions to each city, thus providing hotels with repeat business in exchange for favorable rates. More on that later. In the mean time . . . . . . The total number of persons that can see what your city has to offer is limited only by the number of people who view the website. We average 20 hits per day on our “Where Next” page and almost 50 on the ML & RS, Inc “main page.” In addition, the exclusive ML & RS, Inc data base has no less than 45,000 potential viewers. Add all the other reunion groups’ members that are searching for a reunion site and the number of potential viewers is unlimited. It is so simple and cost effective that one has to wonder why more CVBs are not doing it. This strategy is intended to supplement, not replace any existing programs you are currently using; or it can be an excellent beginning if you have no program in place. Even though we do anticipate the campaign to bring reunions to your area, we are realistic enough to recognize that because of the way many groups rotate between the west, mid-continent, and east, not every group is going to select your city in 2009 or even 2010. Think in long range terms. Therefore, it is only reasonable for us to list more than one “Value Destination” Even though the bulk of our reunions are in March, April and May then in September, October, and November there are lesser numbers in June, July and August. it stands to reason your listing should appear year-round, and our program is designed that way. Only a few of our client groups have selected their second half of 2009 destination, so the competition is open. The remaining groups will select their 2009 or 2010 destinations at their fall 2008 reunion. To begin or to continue to participate in this new and exciting program is simple and inexpensive.
