New adventure-shop.ch is online
Valentin developped on the basis of www.bus2alps.com the new adventure and activitites online shop, see www.adventure-shop.ch. We are now testing everything in details and see if we can find mistakes and the most important discovering problems in the booking process. Valentin did an amazing job! Thanks. As I said at the 1st Start Up Meeting in Interlaken last August the adventure-shop.ch is an important distribution channel for Outdoor Interlaken. Selling Rafting, Canyoning Trips etc. ONLINE gets more important. The best case for us is when we do have contact with our costumer before he comes to Interlaken in his home country. Some of our costumers choose the Acitiviy Company first and the second the accomodation where there are going to stay. That is also reflected in the budget they spend for acitivites.
Under this link you can see the CashTV report of last year about Interlaken – the heart of adventure in europe.
So far I had realy problems to integrate AMEX as a payment method in to our adventure-shop.ch and also into bus2alps.com. I got a realy bad costumer service from AMEX and I am dealing with this company about the integration into our shops since middle of December 2008, thats bad! The other point is that AMEX gets 3.7% comission on AMEX Credit card payments, thats bad too! I am paying at the moment with B+S round about 2 % comission.
The Agents/Promoter System for Bus2alps.com works extremly good, so far our agents and promotors generated comissions of round about EUR 3000.- The best promotor got almost EUR 1000.- in one month, thats good!
