For over ten years now we have held the UK’s only tailor made honeymoon sale. As the start of the 2016 sale is fast approaching (NOW ON!), I thought you might like to know some of the secrets behind the success of this annual event and why you/your engaged friends should take full advantage!
Why February?
Our research shows that the majority of our honeymooners still opt for summer weddings and therefore our biggest months for departures have historically been July through to September. On average our client’s book their honeymoon around 6 months in advance, so February has always proven the perfect time to hold our sale. Having said that, an increasing trend in honeymoon travel is to wait a month or even a year after the wedding in order to visit dream destinations in their peak seasons. Although I am 100% in support of this thought process, my top tip if you are happy to wait is always to consider the ‘shoulder’ season for your honeymoon. Often this means the month before/after peak season kicks in, when the weather is still beautiful, but resorts a lot quieter and better value for money!
Our Partners
Our hoteliers and partners around the world love honeymooners! There is something about couples in love which brings happiness, glamour and romance to their resorts and we are continually being asked where we find all these lovely people! Therefore, we are overwhelmed each year by the support of our key hotel partners and their offers for the sale fortnight, this year being no exception, with savings up to and exceeding £3,500!
Service & Advice
I’ve always thought that ‘sale’ is possibly the wrong word for us to use, as although we have exclusive offers, each honeymoon is still tailor made and bespoke to every couple. Despite it being the busiest time of year for us, there is no risk of standards dropping or our clients being sold something that isn’t 100% perfect. We have a strong reputation as one of the UK’s top honeymoon specialists and we very much intend to remain so. Our team travel the world each year to hand pick the most romantic resorts, islands and destinations, therefore ensuring our clients have up to date first-hand information and a guarantee that wherever they choose has been given the Turquoise stamp of approval.
The Little Details
As with everything in life, attention to detail and being made to feel special is the most important element in making big decisions, such as where and when to go on your honeymoon! Therefore, each year we give our honeymooners who book in the sale a choice of gifts as a thank you for choosing to travel with Turquoise. This year we are delighted to be working with some of the UK’s leading brands such as Heidi Klein, Frescobol Carioca, MYLA Lingerie and No.1 Traveller. We also run a hugely successful referral scheme, so if you have travelled with Turquoise or have been referred to us by someone, please tell our team so we can pop something in the post to say thank you.
