By Adnews Staff
Internet travel company Travelbyus.com Ltd. of White Rock, British Columbia is calling a new number to book all its travel plans. The company recently acquired the 800-i-TRAVEL cooperative marketing program from E&F Associates of Corona del Mar, California for 350,000 common shares of travelbyus.com stock. The program uses a telephone switching technology that routes customer's calls to the closest member travel agency or the company's call centre. The 800-i-TRAVEL program will immediately be made available to travelbyus.com's travel agency distribution system. The company also expects to expand the agency system from 1,000-plus to 5,000 as the 800-i-TRAVEL program is rolled-out. The 800 number will be included in all company advertising, which is created in-house, as well as on its Web site. Bill Kerby, CEO and vice chairman, said the phone number will get the customer's attention while developing brand awareness.
