Dear Jerry ,

As a travel executive, I would like to let you know that I have just finalized program of EyeforTravel's annual CRM in Travel 2008 event that will be held in New Orleans on 29-30 January.

What's on the Agenda for 2008?

Single, stand-alone CRM initiatives cannot achieve high level of success, so it is essential to have integrated CRM strategy. That's why we will focus on implementing integrated CRM strategy: on the first day our experts will help you to understand all the key steps in the CRM process, as well as how to measure the effectiveness of your initiatives. Next, you will see how to retain customers by delivering your brand promise, so you will hear about delivering "on brand" across all customer touch points, regardless the channel. There will be also useful tips on how to drill into CRM opportunities throughout your company, what organizational structure you need to enable an effective CRM strategy and who needs to be involved for maximum results. On day one you will hear from such industry leaders as: Starwood, Wyndham, Harrah's Entertainment, Omni Hotels, Kimpton Hotels and many more.

On the second day, together with Intercontinental, Choice Hotels, Midwest Airlines, Jupiter Research, Ritz Carlton we will examine how loyalty programs fit into your CRM strategy. You will learn what defines a good loyalty program and how to successfully manage loyalty programs for different customer segments. The debate will give you useful ideas how to differentiate your program from competitors and show you how a loyalty program can be used as a very effective direct marketing tool. Since CRM is about getting with the right message to the right person at the right time, we will also discuss effective techniques for personalizing your online marketing and all electronic customer communications. Finally on day 2, we will look into latest loyalty marketing trends including user generated content and its impact on customer loyalty and the use of mobile technology by loyalty marketers.
