In 1996, the marketing and design team that later became Arestia Design Studios, developed for a local customer TropicalTravel.net, one of the first web-based travel companies established in the Northwest. Almost ten years later, with an average growth rate of about 15% each year, they have become one of the most successful web-based travel companies providing travel and vacation packages to the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, and Europe.

Challenge

• Tropical Travel needed an identity that would make them distinctive in their respective markets.
• Since Tropical Travel started out as a small local business in Richland Washington and appeal for their travel packages would range across the United States, they needed the largest nationwide exposure possible.
• With such a competitive market, Tropical Travel required new and more innovative advertising schemes to ensure capture of greater market share.
• As Tropical Travel's market share grew, they needed a creative way to recruit and manage off-site travel agents to ensure future growth.

Solution

• Arestia Design Studios initially developed a corporate branding analogous with the tropical theme of the company’s products.
• Arestia then created a visually pleasing interactive web presence, TropicalTravel.net, designed to handle the multitude of travel package arrangements they provide, and incorporating a completely secure checkout/payment process.
• We then produced an impressive array of professional quality print media, including business cards, promotional fliers, and full-page advertising packages.
• To ensure Tropical Travel's future growth, Arestia designed and implemented a nationwide agent recruiting scheme to expand the sales force and predictably increase Tropical Travel's revenue. Currently, Tropical Travel manages over 28 on and off-site agents, many with their own branding and e-commerce websites.
• With Arestia's creative approach to Search Engine optimization, Tropical Travel has quickly risen to the top of the most popular Internet Search Engine queries.
