Questions About Pricing:

What's the minimum and maximum order?
Our minimum order is 500. There is no maximum limit.

Is an annual contract required?
No. Some newsletter publishers require that you sign up for a long-term subscription. Not us. We're confident that you'll want to continue using our publications quarter after quarter, year after year. That's because you'll see a return on your investment. If not, drop us. No need to lock in for the long term. Agents say they appreciate the fact that while no annual contract is required, discounts are extended to those who commit to using Cruise Observer for four consecutive quarters.

So there's a discount for annual participation?
Yes. We extend 10 percent discounts each quarter for those who commit to using Cruise Observer for four consecutive quarters.

Will cruise lines co-op Cruise Observer?
Yes. The cruise lines love Cruise Observer. Without exception, DSMs from the major cruise lines provide co-op support for agencies that want to mail Cruise Observer to their customers and prospects. Most of our clients receive co-op funding from the cruise lines.

How much co-op can I expect?
Some of our clients have been able to recoup 100 percent of the cost of production and mailing. Others have received as little as 25 percent. Co-op depends largely on your relationship with your district sales managers and their willingness to provide funding.

Couldn't I publish a newsletter cheaper on my own?
No. We benefit from large press runs and pass those savings on to you. You pay less for our comprehensive services than you'd pay for printing alone. Our goal is to provide the most customization possible at the best price.

Okay! I'm convinced! How do I order?

Testimonials

I like everything about Cruise Observer, the creativeness, the quality, the perception, and the value that it creates for the consumer. We see a strong increase in the more expensive ships and sailings each time we distribute Cruise Observer.

Matt Cervone, owner of Just Cruises in Clinton Township, Michigan.

Cruise Observer reflects the image that we are looking to project. The copy is well-written, exciting to read. Our clients hang on to every issue. We have always had excellent results. - Nancy Kelly, Kelly Cruises, Oak Brook, Illinois

Cruise Observer is a valuable tool for travel agents to use to further promote cruising.
