January Sales – My Opinion

As the clock starts twelve and your either celebrating with friends or snuggled up on the sofa with a tipple watching the fireworks in the City of London on the BBC , thoughts begin to drift to what the New Year will bring. For most of us it also brings a time of reflection and nearly always positive thoughts hoping the year we have entered into will be better than the previous one.

The New Year also means to millions of us,  one word, ‘SALES’, love them or hate them , for the whole month of January we find ourselves surrounded by TV advertising , busy shopping centres and traffic jams worse than the pre Christmas rush. Personally this is my idea of a complete nightmare scenario but like many others I also want a bargain so if in this situation I find myself throwing myself into the 21st Century and in the comfort of my own home buying on line.  Don’t get me wrong , working for the World’s leading on-line cruise agency, many of my customers don’t have a computer and rely on the telephone and the media but still find themselves calling me from  there armchair rather than battling for a parking space in the force ten gales only to find they have to wait in a Travel Agents for over an hour to be looked after.

The word Sales can mean many things to many people but January is also one of the busiest times in the Travel Industry, its a time where the industry leaders will offer you knock down prices and little extras to make your holiday even more value for money and definitely more appealing. After working in this industry for more than 25 years  I have seen so many changes but one month always remains the same and that’s January.

If you want a great deal on a cruise then now is definitely  the ideal time to plan a  holiday after companies began slashing their prices at 9 am yesterday, Celebrity Cruises was one of them and it has emerged also that a strong pound is giving tourists up to 28 per  cent more for their money than a year ago.

At Cruise.Co.Uk, the phones have been ringing constantly since 8 am on New Years Day and with the Cruise Companies themselves all battling with their campaigns for early bookers, their is only one winner, yes at last its the customer.

So from the comfort of your own home , you can make the January Sales the best yet by taking advantage of one of these many deals , call me 0800 408 6114. January can be an exciting month , make the most of it today.
