Ponant opens dedicated Facebook group for agents
French cruise line Ponant has introduced a dedicated Facebook group for agents in the UK and Ireland.
The Facebook group: Ponant Experts UK& Ireland will allow the cruise line to communicate directly with agents, sharing news about products, incentives, ship visits and events, to listen to agents’ feedback and input and run monthly competitions.
The initiative is designed to strengthen Ponant’s links with the trade industry and to get closer to the agents.
International sales director Stephen Winter said: "This is the first time that Ponant has launched such an initiative on any of its markets. It shows our continued involvement and dedication to the UK and Irish markets, and our ambition to significantly grow our share of the market in the UK and Ireland."
Agents can join with their agency number or contact the administrator directly to ask to join.
