Here's the sample I submitted to the management team. We've been shortlisted.

 

I tell ya, normally we'd charge $450 for a jingle, so these rates are pro.

I am not sure the theme from the Titanic will inspire confidence in the sailing capability of V2V.

V2V has partnered with local Vancouver Island artist, Jerry Kool to design and craft the tables that will be featured on-board the V2V Empress ship.

 

Each table features a topographic outline of Vancouver Island, Metro Vancouver, and the Salish Sea, allowing guests to follow along throughout their harbour-to-harbour journey.

 

Come check them out for yourself on-board the V2V Empress. Book your tickets now at www.v2vvacations.com

 

This kind of gets me thinking.  Do you think there would be a market for a "round the Island" ship?  Maybe a 14-day trip with stops at many ports?

Yes, maybe try and make it 5 days.

I'm still wondering why they did not accept mine.

Number 2 has some flaws ..

 

the word vacation is pronounced vaca-shawn

 

 

destination is pronounced  destina-shawn

 

 

enjoy comfort??? they wont be singing that during heavy seas and high winds

 

linking downtown Victoria with downtown Vancouver?  should be the other way around

NONE... they all sound like small town used car dealership commercials... or worse... WA state Vern Funk Commercials... and I don't think he EVER had music or singing

Final opinion... another nail in their coffin.

I sort of see the marketing value in running a contest. Some free promotion and at least 4 people were engaged.

 

If they are smart they will crown a 'winner' and then get the jingle department at CFAX to crack off something decent for them. I would think that if they commit to even a small ad block buy then CFAX will do it for free anyways.

Except this will have no market valua at all where it needs to. International travelers that have the money to pay what V2V is looking for. If I had that money and heard this as promotions... I would book a flight.. since the price is the same and the advertising is MUCH more grown up.

Its a Cal Worthington and his dog spot type of add....

 

This whole venture is Fantasy Island meets Love Boat

 

there are so many nails in this metaphorical floating coffin than the weight of such will sink it.

 

Please get it over with run it for a couple of months...................  Im looking more forward to the abrupt cancellation of this fantasy
