Update April 2005 – Holland America Cruises, Signature of Excellence Program
Holland America Cruise Lines has initiated a program of up-scaling their cruise ships, cruise line image and passenger cruise experience. This initiative is called the Signature of Excellence program and will soon be experienced by cruise passengers on all Holland America cruises.
The award winning Holland America five star fleet of cruise ships will all have the unparalleled enhancements by the end of 2006. Included in the program are enhancements to the impeccable service Holland America guests have become accustomed to as well.
Premium cruising aboard Holland America’s fleet will be enhanced by state-of-the-art facilities and public areas. Included are stateroom amenities, luxury beds and bed linens. All Holland America cruise ships will include the Neptune Lounge, Pinnacle Grill, Explorations Café, the Greenhouse Spa & Salon, and a Culinary Arts Center.
Changes will be made for children and teens cruising with Holland America as well. The program includes newly expanded youth facilities with the “Club HAL” program. For teens, Holland America has included The Loft and The Oasis.
To date, Holland America has completed the program on six of their premium cruise ships – Prinsendam, Rotterdam, Ryndam, Statendam, Westerdam, and Zaandam. Holland America’s cruise ship Amsterdam is due to have the program implemented by early October 2005. Volendam will see her program initiated in mid December 2005. HAL’s Zuiderdam will see her program implemented in time for her holiday Caribbean cruise at the end of December 2005. Veendam will initiate her program on a western Caribbean cruise in late January 2006. Late April will see Maasdam initiate her completed program on a Canada/New England cruise. Rounding out the Holland America Signature of Excellence initiative will be Oosterdam early in November 2006 on a short 4 day cruise from Vancouver to San Fransisco.

Five Profitable Ways To Use Your Follow Up Autoresponder
What? You are not using a Follow up Autoresponder? Then better be. If you are SERIOUS about increasing your subscriber database, you need Follow up autoresponders.
Web site promotion should start with search engines. Next comes your opt-in list. To maintain your opt-in list you need a mailing list manager or an autoresponder. You can publish your ezine or offer a free email course through your autoresponders.
What are Follow up autoresponders?
Follow up autoresponders send a series of emails to your prospects that goes at specified intervals. You have complete control on this interval period.
Some of the Follow up Autoresponders: (These are follow up autoresponders with mailing list manager features like broadcast emails)

What you can do with your Follow up autoresponder:
1. Offer free email courses:
Load your autoresponder with a series of emails as a free course. Name it as ‘Mini course that doubles Your profits in 7 days’ or something like that. User should really get temptation to subscribe for your course.
Once they subscribe, emails will go at the set up intervals.
Remember these tips before offering an email course: =Name your email course something attractive =Don’t keep too much gap between your emails =If possible refresh the previous topic in every next email =Keep short URLs =Try to use short courses like 7 – 10 days. It would be interesting for your reader. They should’t feel like a classroom =Check the URLs before loading them in to your autoresponder
2. Follow up your customer:
After your buyer purchase your product they will be landed on your subscription form. They will enter their name and email address. They will be redirected to your download page. You can set a follow up emails at an interval of 15 or 30 days. Offer some discount in this follow up emails on your other products. Selling a product to your present customer is easier than searching for a new prospect. In this method, you have to keep one form for each of your product.
3. Conduct quizzes, polls:
Yes. You can fill your follow up autoresponder with 10 quizz questions and can set up to send it one per day. People that answer all questions correct will get a discount on your product or free product or free membership etc. DON’T forget to keep your product links in each of your emails. This is a kind of advertisement for you.
4. Benefit from your Ezine articles:
You write ezine articles. Don’t you? Good…
Then load your Follow up autoresponder with 5 – 10 ezine articles and put a subscribe link on your web pages or in your signature file. Send the link to publishers who are willing to receive your articles. Your articles will be delivered to the subscribers and publishers at an interval of 30 days or what ever time you set up there.
I like to send the articles every 1 – 2 months to my publishers list. Good publishers always file articles they receive. So if you send them too frequently, it will be little annoying. So better to keep minimum interval of one month.
5. You can also use your follow up autoresponder to send:
