Podcasts about virgin cruises

Abel Prieto joins The Next 100 Days podcast to discuss InCruises as a side gig opportunity and its business model.Summary of the PodcastKey TakeawaysUnique Membership Model: InCruises doubles members' monthly contributions (e.g., $100 → $200) into "Reward Points" for travel, forcing savings and guaranteeing a minimum 25% discount on bookings.Strategic Growth Engine: The affiliate model is a key driver for cruise lines, as 75% of InCruises' travelers are first-time cruisers—a market segment the lines struggle to reach directly.Significant Income Potential: The UK market is largely untapped. A mid-level goal of building a team generating ~$250k/month in sales yields a personal income of ~$50k/month (~£38k).Watertight Affiliate Tracking: The referral-link-only sign-up process prevents commission loss, a common problem with cookie-based affiliate programs.The InCruises Business ModelInCruises (corp. name: InGroup) is a travel club founded in 2016 by Frank Codina. Abel was onboarded as a Communications expert.Membership Tiers:Member: Pays a monthly fee (e.g., $100 or $250) which the company matches 100% in "Reward Points."Example: A $2,000 cruise costs the member $1,000 in cash and $1,000 in company-matched points, representing a 50% total value.Guaranteed Savings:Using Points: 25% minimum discount.Using Cash (Insider Pricing): 17% minimum discount.Key Rule: Points are for travel only and are non-refundable, ensuring members use them for vacations. They are transferable upon death.Partner: An affiliate who sells memberships.Partner Member: Both a paying member and an active affiliate.Company Profitability:Wholesale Pricing: InCruises buys travel inventory at wholesale rates.Commissions: Earns commissions from cruise lines on bookings.Unused Points: Profits from points that are never redeemed.Market & OpportunityGrowth:Sales: $350M in 2023.Customers: 750k+ travelers.Inventory: 21k+ cruises, 430k+ hotels, 350k+ tours.Untapped Markets: The UK and Europe are largely unpenetrated, offering significant growth potential.Demographic Shift: Cruising is attracting a younger audience with more diverse offerings (e.g., Virgin Cruises, onboard activities), expanding the market beyond traditional demographics.Building a Business with InCruisesAffiliate Model: Partners sell memberships, not individual travel bookings.Income Potential (UK Context):Mid-Level Goal: Generate ~$250k/month in team sales.Required Team: ~500–1,000 paying members.Resulting Personal Income: ~$50k/month (~£38k).Graham's Initial Strategy:Initial Test: A careers fair booth with a costumed "stewardess" (Karina) and leaflets to gauge interest.Target Audience: Affluent individuals (45+) who can afford the monthly membership.Leverage Existing Assets: Use the "finelyfettled" database of 278k cruise-takers for targeted outreach.Future Innovation: Develop an AI-powered "core agent" to provide personalised travel recommendations, adding value beyond the standard platform.

When it started, Virgin Voyages was known as the hip cruise line for young people. Do you really have to be in your 20s to take a Virgin cruise?

It's a wild week, including IHOP flavored potato chips; Madonna is perpetually late and she doesn't care; Richard Branson gives away 160 cruises; we learned what a Roper Romp is; a scorpion bites a man on his junk; sequential royal flush pays big money; Sony to open movie studio in Sin City; the proposed A's stadium looks like the Sydney Opera House; single men are disgusting; the iconic Sopranos' diner booth is sold for big bucks; and, much more pop culture silliness of the week.
