Program: Getaway for Two
Client: Microsoft
Venues: Nationwide
Theme: "Local PC Builder"
Directive: Incentive with purchase

Microsoft contacted Travel Vacation Vouchers about using the nationally known Getaway for Two premium to increase their local PC Builder sales. The focus of the program was to add value to local PC Builder merchants that typically had to compete with big-box retailers for market share.

When a consumer purchased a PC loaded with a genuine Microsoft® Windows® XP operating system through a local PC builder and used the Windows Genuine Advantage program to validate the software, they also got the opportunity to take advantage of the Buy Local BONUS PACK , featuring two complimentary airline tickets (with purchase of lodging), and other valuable free offers!

Travel Vacation Vouchers assisted the Microsoft marketing department with the development of a web-based application that provided customers with program information and online redemption. Numerous point-of-purchase collateral pieces were implemented within the program including counter cards, post cards, and fax broadcasts.

Microsoft has made this program available for PCs purchased between October 11, 2005 and December 31, 2005. No further information is available at the time of this writing. Please contact Travel Vacation Vouchers for further updates.

Quote from a review in Ram Magazine ( Reseller Advocate Magazine )
"the big bennie is the roundtrip airfare for two contingent upon also booking a minimum lodging stay at any of the major destination hotels or condominiums listed in over 25 cities. (Urban hotels seem to average a seven-day requirement, exotic destinations eight to 14 days.) Speaking as someone who enjoyed international travel before entering the blessed yet far more localized world of parenthood, I can say that the lodging prices are pretty reasonable all things considered, and I'd say this is a pretty attractive offering."
