megabus.com February Travel promotion

As we know, January and February are peak times for sales to be made in the travel sector. So rather than sit on our laurels we decided to do something to push sales, in turning hopefully giving you a helping hand with your commissions!

Now really is the perfect opportunity to use the megabus promotions to target your customers and incentivise them to purchase megabus.com low cost travel tickets. Many customers may be actively searching out travel and, as we all know, savvy consumers are on the up!

Therefore, to follow on from our massive 10,000 free seats campaign we have decided to cap the prices on some of our routes in order for passengers to travel at bargain rates from Mondays through to Thursdays* throughout the whole of February.
So, throughout February passengers can now travel to or from York, Birmingham & Coventry for a maximum of £3 and to or from Liverpool and Chester for a maximum of £5.
Of course, our savvy passengers can still get travel from £1 + 50 pence booking fee if they book in advance (and our low cost message still applies to all our routes) but this promotion guarantees passengers that, as long as booking 24 hours in advance* they will pay no more than the amounts stipulated above.

The routes for this promotion include:

To/ from Liverpool….to/ from Birmingham and London
To/ from Chester….to/ from to Birmingham and London
To/ from Birmingham…to/ from London, Liverpool and Chester
To/ from Coventry…to/ from London
To/ from York…to/ from London
To/ from London…to/ from Liverpool, Chester, Birmingham, Coventry and York.

As you can see we have tried to cover some major cities and towns in the capped price promotion, meaning the message will capture the attention of the majority of your traffic.
If your website caters to a certain town or city or if you see the majority of your traffic coming from a certain town or city please try to use the relevant banner. This will most likely be the more effective in calling to action, ensuring sales and commissions. (There are banners available promoting each of these routes separately and banners available promoting all of the routes)

You will find the promotional text for this within the affiliate window interface. You will also find (within the banner and links section) static and flash banners for you to use on your websites. Please note you can access the creative material as of now in order to go live tomorrow am (4th Feb 2010)
If you choose to write your own copy/ promotional text please ensure that you stipulate all the terms and conditions of the megabus.com February price freeze (listed at the bottom of the text below).
