Get Creative With Virgin Limited Edition's Travel Trade 'Best Dressed' Competition

Virgin Limited Edition

Virgin Limited Edition's are offering all UK Retail Travel Agents the opportunity to win a luxury three night stay at its Swiss mountain retreat in Verbier - The Lodge during summer 2014. All agents have to do is dress up their shop front window 'Virgin Limited Edition' style and send through a picture displaying their creative flair.

 

Aimed at retail agencies located in and around the UK contenders can choose any or all of the properties within the portfolio to promote and the more creative they are the better! 

 

The winning entry of the best shop window display will be announced the week commencing 13th January 2014 and will receive the following prize, a three night stay at The Lodge for two people on an all-inclusive basis and return transfers between Geneva Airport and The Lodge.*

 

Judging the winner will be Lucy Huxley is Editor-in-Chief of Travel Weekly Group, who commented: "At Travel Weekly we act as a shop window showcasing all the exciting things our agent readers get up to, so there couldn't be a more fitting partnership for us than this wonderful competition. It's great to see Virgin Limited Edition giving agents the chance to show just how creative they can be - and with properties like the rebuilt Necker Island and the new Mahali Mzuri to inspire them, I've no doubt that the results are going to be pretty spectacular.

 

"I'm thrilled that a unique hotel group like Virgin Limited Edition is working with the trade in such an innovative way - the only challenge will be picking which window-dressing star will pip the others to the post and jet off to Switzerland to enjoy that once-in-a-lifetime prize!"

 

In order to enter the competition, agents simply need to contact katherine.beach@virginlimitededition.com who will then send out a Window Dressing pack, which will include Virgin Limited Edition posters as well as the famous property ducks, t-shirts & recipe cards to help them on their way. All entries must send photographic evidence of their window display to the email address above no later than Tuesday 31st December. By requesting a Window Dressing Pack you are agreeing to take part in the competition and must submit a photo before the deadline.

 

Depending on the property agents have opted for, Virgin Limited Edition will also provide dates of the webinar presentations running specific to that property so that their teams can get 'refresher' information on news, updates and offers.
