CruiseMates' Best of the Web Cruise Bargains Newsletter
The "CruiseMates Best of the Web Cruise Bargains Newsletter" is a listing of the best cruise bargain offers for any particular cruise (ship, sail date, cabin category, price, add-ons) for sale on the Web -- as submitted by our sponsors and verified by CruiseMates. The subscriber base is a very recently complied list of 250,000+ opted-in email subscribers verified to be "experienced cruise travelers." This list was compiled one subscriber at a time by offering incentives such as free subscriptions to cruise related email newsltters and cruise magazines.
CruiseMates sponsors can submit, for approval by CruiseMates, up to two cruise bargains listings per week. Upon submission, CruiseMates will search the Web for a better offer for the same exact cruise offer. If, in the opinion of CruiseMates, a better offer cannot be found on the Internet after searching the top 10 cruise sites and our other sponsors, the listing will be included in our "CruiseMates Best of the Web Cruise Bargains Newsletter." If CruiseMates finds a better offer for the same cruise the original listor will be notified that it must improve its offer to be a better value for the cruise buyer than the competing offer we find. If the listor cannot exceed the value of the competing offer we will not publish the listing. The listor will not be charged for the listing.
How it works:
The CruiseMates' "Best of the Web" Cruise Bargains Newsletter will be emailed to the 250,000+ subscriber list on Tuesday night of each week beginning January 3rd. Advertisers must submit their specials for each newsletter on the Friday before the week the newsletter goes out. The double opted-in subscriber list is guaranteed to consist of cruise-experienced cruise travel enthusiasts.
Pricing:
CruiseMates will compose one of these email newsletters each week. Each newsletter will contain up to 20 specials. A sponsor can opt to offer any number between 1 and 8 different specials per month (two per week). The pricing is based upon the number of specials the sponsor wants to list every month:
