“Hands-off” Marketing

“Hands-off” Marketing with CTC Vacations (Cruise to Cash)

CTC Vacations has recently introduced two new marketing systems. This company never rests! They continue to add features and systems that make every membership more valuable. There are always new things in the works at CTC Vacations!

For the person who wants to earn extra money from home but either doesn’t have the time, ability or desire to market and follow-up with prospects, CTC Vacations has introduced the answer - true “Hands-off” Marketing. I hesitate to use the label “Automatic Marketing System” because it is so overworked and often isn’t really true. In this case it actually is.

With the “Hands-off” Marketing option, literally anyone can be successful in recruiting new members to CTC Vacations. The bottom line is that no matter how terrific the marketing system is, someone has to drive people to it. And, I’ve said this time and time again, it’s at this point where most people fail in getting their business off the ground. They become discouraged and many never try again.

With our “Hands-off” system of recruiting new members the leads are collected for the member through proprietary capture pages, TV ads, classifieds, etc. Northstar (provider of this system) then follows up with them via email and phone - personally and through autoresponders. It’s a very powerful option. I have been using Northstar Tour Guides for a couple months now and they are professional and successful. This new system just makes it even better.

There are very few people who really enjoy prospecting and/or have a knack for it. In my opinion, for those who don’t have the skill, it is a great option to be able to outsource this part. Save your time to follow up with members once they join. Of course, as we have discussed before in “CTC Vacations Business Center” on this blog, most of what any new member needs to get started is provided, including how-to’s and live training.

Now the “Just Get Three” approach is actually reachable for any member who makes the effort… perhaps not at 100% of the projection but at a lesser percentage. Hey, a smaller percentage is still far more than 95% of home business owners ever make - probably in a lifetime! This best part of this is that the results CAN be duplicated. Combine a legitimate, innovative company with terrific products & services and a duplicatable marketing system .. you have CTC Vacations and it’s Dynamite!

CTC Vacations is not only making waves, it is creating a “gold standard” in the home business market!

CTC Vacations Business Center

Posted on September 4th, 2008 by admin in Marketing, Home Business

The new CTC Vacations Business Center is awesome! I knew it would be a great addition to CTCV because I appreciate the importance of having this material accessible at the members convenience. However, the reality is that this feature has already totally surpassed any expectations I might have had.

Home businesses often have “marketing support” of some sort - some are good and some are almost useless. Previously, CTC Vacations gave its members about what you would expect - about the same as many of the more popular businesses. I have been a member of several of these in the past. In fact, I am still a member of several that I no longer market because I like CTC Vacations so much more. The CTCV Business Center is the best that I have seen and it is less than a month old! This is a feature that is absolutely necessary for a large percentage of people to be successful.

What the business center does is allow people with very little experience in the home business market and on the Internet bring in new people with confidence. The know that the information found in the Business Center will fill in the gaps in their own experience and give their new member a way to get started right away. Often members with little experience feel intimidated at the beginning because of their lack of knowledge. With the CTCV Business Center this is no longer a reality.

Add the forum to the mix and now you have interaction as well! This feature alone sets CTC Vacations apart from other businesses.

In addition, the experienced membership continues to create training calls, etc. The current one is a “6 Weeks to Success” conference call series (posted and discussed in the forum as well) for any new members or even old members wanting a brush-up course. Like any other business, home or otherwise, CTC Vacations isn’t magic - it takes some consistent effort. However, with this Business Center, new members have a place to go (in addition to their sponsor of course) to get answers, find tools, ask question and learn techniques. Because of the vast amount of information contained in this Center, inexperienced and experienced members can find useful help as well as enjoy the interaction of the forum.

Strategies such as “Just Get Three” become possible with the Business Center. Members are empowered by having a way to help themselves when they need it instead of discouraged by having to wait for help from someone else. CTCV continues to become a terrific community and the Business Center just adds to the overall experience and makes the process of getting started much faster and easier. To get an idea of what is included, visit Business Center Home Page.

CTC Vacations continues to grow and to become stronger because of the innovation and dedication by its founders to excellence. A new person cannot ask for anything more in a home business, or any business for that matter.

WorldVea - Hit the Ground Running with Cruise to Cash!

Posted on February 13th, 2008 by suemc in Marketing

WorldVea is a (relatively) new marketing system that Cruise to Cash has made available to its members… it was actually introduced to the members at the beginning of January and already is gaining popularity.

As I have mentioned in previous posts, there are multiple ways both online and offline to market Cruise to Cash. The versatility of the product lends itself to all mediums and any good marketing plan includes a multi-pronged approach. However, for the beginner, marketing has to start somewhere and the easier it is to get started, the better!

WorldVea makes it easy for a new marketer to get started right away for a very low monthly cost. The monthly cost includes 100 double opt-in leads automatically loaded every month. So, even with no knowledge of marketing, a new member can have an immediate web presence… while determining the other avenues to include in their overall marketing plan. In addition, there is a lead source that can be included to input additional leads to the system according to the members desire and budget.

A membership with WorldVea, provides professional, cutting edge video technology in a pre-loaded autoresponder series and capture page… something different that prospects haven’t seen before. Remember video is quickly becoming the hottest thing on the Internet! There are 6 different videos about Cruise to Cash in emails that allow the member to edit the template, video order and text elements for each message. The video capture page that is included with the package can also be personalized with different backgrounds. Creating a personal stamp is important on the Internet and WorldVea allows you to do that quickly and with virtually no knowledge.

Take a look at an example of the videos.

In addition, these videos can be used in other aspects of a marketing plan. Your WorldVea membership includes a broadcasting feature that allows the member to communicate personally with their list outside of the automatic messages. With the 100 leads plus additional purchased leads, the list continues to grow every month. All of this for only $30/month… It’s a terrific value!

In addition, my members get some additional suggestions (in my team “Getting Started” guide) on different uses for the system. I can also get my members the same lead source that is offered by WorldVea and Trilink for a cheaper price (for the person who doesn’t want to open their own account and only wants a limited number of leads per month).

I’m not saying that this is the only or the best approach for marketing CTC. Cruise to Cash provides a number of marketing options … they all work in different ways. And CTC continues to add new ones all the time. I love it… there is always something new! However, of all the options, WorldVea is the least expensive way for a person to establish an online presence immediately which I believe is important for new members - get up and running right away!
