November 11, 2002 - Fiji Visitors Bureau launches eReach™ travel agent program

Los Angeles, CA - The Fiji Visitors Bureau (FVB) retained Plexus M/2 to design and engineer a custom version of eReach™, the company's proprietary e-mail marketing software.

eReach™ enables the tourism organization to employ a cooperative e-mail marketing program with each of its 600-plus worldwide registered travel agents. Using the application, each travel agent can set up a personal eReach™ account to deploy Fiji Island e-mail templates, designed by Plexus for the FVB. Known as a cooperative marketing program, this FVB initiative empowers agents to market Fiji travel packages to their own proprietary e-mail databases of clients and prospects, free of charge.

The organization's goal is to build stronger relationships with individual travel agents and increase tourism to the Fiji Islands. By deploying eReach™, the FVB expects to gain a competitive edge in Pacific Rim tourism online marketing.

"This custom version of eReach™ is a powerful e-mail marketing tool that provides our client with immediate access to 600-plus registered travel agents, their clients, and prospects. eReach™ is a cost-effective solution and should provide the Fiji Visitor's Bureau a rapid return on its investment," commented Kyle H. Martell, president of Plexus M/2.

"This software product can be quickly customized and deployed for any organization. Plexus is also introducing the eReach™ cooperative marketing model to scores of Visitor and Convention Bureaus throughout the United States. Talks will soon begin regarding European distribution," he added.
