With this in mind, we are launching the very first Blue Chip Vacations Affiliate Survey, something we are aiming to do every year from now on. We’d love you to take 5 minutes to answer the 13 questions and let us know what you like and what you don’t, how you think we could make the experience better for you!

Please be completely honest, even if you’ve signed up and not taken it any further, we’d love to hear what could entice you to get more involved with our programme. We won’t be sharing this information with any third parties, but anything we think may be valuable could be passed on to Affiliate Window.

To take part in the survey, click here.

I really hope you find time to complete this; we will be acting on your feedback!

Look forward to hearing from you.

The Zapcats Grand Prix comes to Newquay

Secure a Newquay booking and you could win a fantastic Zapcats holiday experience!

With a great start to 2010 under our belt, Blue Chip Vacations have teamed up with Zapcats Grand Prix to present its affiliates with a fantastic competition offer!

How does a 3 night stay for you and three friends in cosmopolitan surfer’s haven Newquay, as a VIP guest, sound?

Any affiliate sales made for a Newquay property for a 2010 holiday booked between now and 9 April 2010 will automatically be put into a prize draw to win a fantastic holiday experience with Blue Chip Vacations. The lucky winner will enjoy a 3 night stay for themselves and up to 5 guests in the luxurious Pentire Mews. These stunning individually designed apartments are a mere 5 minute walk from Fistral Beach. But that’s not all; we’re throwing in VIP access to the racing teams, a chance to meet the stars of the show; the drivers, and even the chance to be driven around Fistral Bay in a Zapcat! If that wasn’t enough, we’ll even treat you to a meal at the charming Fistral Blu during one of the race days for you and your party, a great spot to enjoy the legendary waves of Fistral Beach. This really is a prize that money can’t buy for one lucky affiliate to enjoy!

Zapcats Racing

What are Zapcats?

The Blue Chip Newquay Zapcats Grand Prix is one of the most hotly anticipated events in the speedboat racing calendar. An adrenaline fuelled boat race around Fistral Bay, this fantastic spectacle will be a real hot ticket this April. Originating in South Africa in the 1980’s, these lightweight inflatable catamarans are propelled by a 50 hp engine and can reach speeds of up to 50mph. Now in its 10th year, the race will be arriving into Fistral Beach, Newquay in late April. And one lucky winner will be a part of it!

How do I qualify?

Any booking for Newquay will be included in the prize draw, regardless of the length of stay or when the stay takes place – so there are lots of opportunities to make sales that qualify you for a place in the draw! To help you promote this, we will shortly be launching a set of new creatives based on the event to spread the word, and why not check out our dedicated Blue Chip Newquay site for more inspiration? In conjunction with this, we are also running a similar competition for all customers who book Newquay breaks, an ideal way to ensure more of your click-throughs convert. For more information on this offer, see the Blue Chip Newquay website. A dedicated landing page for this offer has also been created to aid your promotions.

Competitions terms and conditions:
- The winner will be drawn at random on April 12th 2010
- Each confirmed sale generated between 18.02.10 and 09.04.10 for stays in Newquay will equal one ticket for the draw.

Beautiful Blue Chip boys and girls!

We had our company mug shots done yesterday – while stood on the rocks at Shoalstone in Brixham, where our head office is.  I thought you’d like to see all the boys and girls in our team – from property managers, bookings team and of course the outstanding marketing department.

In this case outstanding on a rock…
