Jurni Network today introduced Jurni Online, a new Web
site product suite that allows Jurni agent members to create and
maintain professional-looking consumer sites that feature their
individual agency brands and great vacation offers for their existing
and potential customers.
Jurni Online enables member agencies to develop a customizable
leisure travel marketing site with special promotions and content from
Jurni preferred suppliers consistently updated by Jurni Network. The
tool gives Jurni agencies the ability to customize their Web sites
with multiple design layouts, custom logos, color and font choices,
additional pages and special offers. Daily, monthly and annual online
reports can be generated for page hits, sessions, and visitor and
referral information.
In the Jurni Online product suite optional upgrades will allow
agents to create a site that also includes air, car and hotel booking
capabilities through the incorporation of a Sabre booking engine or
other booking engine of their choice. These upgrades will also allow
agents to add their own content and special promotions, in addition to
Jurni preferred suppliers’ latest vacation offers.
“Offering customers an information-rich Internet site is a
critical component of the successful agency’s marketing, sales and
customer service programs,” said Mike Baldwin, general manager of
Jurni Network. “The Jurni Online product suite is a new enhancement to
the marketing and revenue building capabilities Jurni offers our
members.”
Jurni Online was developed in partnership with Passport Online,
and is a private labeled version of Passport Online’s NexCite Web site
program. Agencies will license Jurni Online from Jurni Network for a
monthly fee. Phone and Web-based training on the use of the tools is
provided. The sites can be marketed through e-mail promotions. Search
engine optimization is also used to encourage customer site use. The
sites will feature content that includes a quick search box,
customized travel specials, and the opportunity to include a
sweepstakes or register for an agency newsletter so member agencies
can acquire names and addresses for their databases.
A Website option for hosted independent agents will be added to
the Jurni Online product suite in late summer. Independent agents will
be able to create and maintain their own online marketing site that
features fresh and relevant content for their existing and prospective
customers.
