Problems With Platinum One Destinations or Smart Coastal Marketing?
PR-USA.net - Platinum One Destinations (P1D) Problems Persist
Members of Platinum One Destinations (P1D) seemed to be sold on the idea that booking with the up-start home based travel business would be easier than using some of the components of the Coastal Vacations membership packages. One Platinum One Destinations (P1D) member from Texas reported on the condition of anonymity that prices for one trip she was planning were more than double what she was able to book over the phone with her Coastal Vacations membership. After being quoted a rate of $135 a night with Platinum One Destinations (P1D), the member was able to book 2 rooms at a comparable hotel through Coastal Vacations at much lower rates with just one phone call. Her room with a king size bed was $59 and she also booked a room with a queen size bed for a friend at $49.Travel expert Dean Marino reports, “While many people are starting home based travel businesses because of the huge growth and income potential, most of those people are not frequent travelers and don’t have a clue about what to look for and what will sell. They’re investing big money and flying blind with no knowledge of the travel industry and then they wonder why they can’t get anyone to buy travel memberships that sell for as much as $15,000″

EXCEPT- this is a “press release” which is really a self published from of advertising (anyone with about $50 can have one published and appear to be giving the public legitimate “news”). I wouldn’t call it “smart” marketing unless you were targeting ignorant people and trying to pull the wool over their eyes!
It was written by Dean Marino- who is a “travel agent”- well I am too, that cost me about $150.
I had NO knowledge of the travel industry before starting my business, and truth be told- I still have very little as P1D is a direct sales company (not an MLM!) and is a registered, licensed and bonded travel company providing genuine certified travel agents to members wishing to book travel. I’m actually one of the top income earners in the company- so yes, this is a duplicable, simple system and a very easy product to proudly represent.
Dean might not be too shocked to learn that this “upstart” travel company is backed and supported by well known experts in the field and has generated just over 4 Million in sales since January 1st. It seems this “press release” was written as a way to bring people into his business.
P1D simply can NOT compare to Coastal Vacations- it is a different model, different class of service and travel, and a consumer product ahead of a business opportunity. It is quite literally like comparing a Ford to a Ferrari.. yes, they are both cars.. BUT- which one you choose really will depend upon your needs and your values.
