Air New Zealand celebrates launch of new trade website with biggest ever trade seat giveaway.
Air New Zealand has launched its new-look trade website with a new web address at airnewzealandtrade.com, and a massive seat giveaway for agents, the biggest flight promotion it has undertaken. Visitors to the website in its first two weeks between 01 - 15 November will be able to enter a prize draw to win one of 30 seats up for grabs - 10 tickets to each of Air New Zealand's three destinations from the UK, LA, Hong Kong and New Zealand.
The new, easy to navigate site replaces fly-nz.com, and introduces a number of special features to ensure agents and tour operators have everything they need to know at their fingertips. A log-in is no longer required, making accessing information even quicker and agents can sign up to get monthly eblasts with the latest news and competitions.
The new site will also offer greater interactivity including a blog for agents and tour operators to share their experiences of Air New Zealand. The website will also feature an online gallery for visitors to upload photographs from familiarisation trips. Both these special features will be available in early 2008, once agents are familiar with the new site.
Following the seat giveaway, airnewzealandtrade.com will also offer a number of special incentives for trade customers. The home page will feature a monthly promotion, treating agents to unique prizes to be revealed each month.
Scott Carr, Air New Zealand General Manager, Europe, commented: "Not only do we want the new website to be the essential tool for travel agents to find out more about Air New Zealand but we also want to create talkability and buzz around the exciting promotions that they will be able to enter to win some great money can't buy experiences. As the website develops, we hope to introduce even more of these elements to encourage participation and feedback, helping us to keep improving our services."
www.airnewzealandtrade.com is now live.
