OUR SUPPORT FOR TRAVEL AGENTS IS UNBEATABLE. Dear SuperAgency Partners, Did you know that with SuperClubs’ Weblink program you can earn full commissions – 13%* or more with volume – on land and air every time your clients use our website to book resort and air packages? SuperClubs will personalize our website with your agency’s contact information and will track and report to you on all your customers’ reservations. We even offer free e-mail marketing. This simply means that we customize and tailor all of our promotional e-mails and send them out to each subscribed customer who's visited your SuperClubs website. Remember, our booking engine is so easy to use that your clients can make their own reservations while you make full commissions. Log on to www.superclubs.com and select “Web Link” at the left of the webpage. Follow the links to see a sample website co-branded with ABC Travel, test the reporting system or to sign up. Join our SuperAgency team today, (800) Go-Super/Ext. 5720. Accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you’ll be making commissions even while you sleep!
