"Our recent e-Blast generated through ConventionPlanit worked! The response of qualified leads was very good for all markets. After follow up I received 2 RFP’s with the decision makers planning to come up on site visits soon. We work many different avenues to generate leads to find new business, but for online direct marketing, ConventionPlanit is the way to go."
Andrea Schmidt, Convention Sales Manager

"Marketing and sales, it's all about results! And our eBlast to CP.com's segmented email list generated them - over 3,000 opens, click-throughs to both our website and CP.com listings, and most importantly immediate requests for demos of Digitell's Live Streaming, webcast and content marketing programs. Please thank your team for all their help and advice - they're great and really made the difference!"
Mike Hatch, Director, Business Development
Digitell, Inc.
"ConventionPlanit.com is a key component to our group online marketing strategy. We did two targeted e-blasts which resulted in a definite booking in excess of $100K and a pending group valued in excess of $120K. We are currently targeting to do more in 2015 with ConventionPlanit. We appreciate that we can deal directly with clients through this site, unlike other channels that prohibit contact and place themselves in the middle. I highly recommend to any hotel or resort who is looking to maximize their marketing dollars for the best possible ROI."
Verdell Ekberg, Regional Director of Sales & Marketing
CAM Hospitality
"Online direct marketing has really come of age with the ConventionPlanit.com e-blast service. We used it to reach their database of 30,000 meeting professionals and generated a very strong ROI. They have a strong product and an excellent reputation with their customers to generate this type of results."

"Our company has purchased listings on ConventionPlanit.com for the past several years. Our team likes that this search directory not only helps to create awareness of our brand, but stimulates new prospects, many of which are now repeat customers. We especially like the commission-free model of placing buyers and sellers together without wedging a third party in the middle."

"We just received a commitment for a city-wide convention that was a direct result of our presence on ConventionPlanit.com. The great thing about ConventionPlanit.com is the personalized follow-up they provide to both planners and suppliers when leads come in through their site. It is a great help to our sales process to know that our leads are getting the attention they deserve and that we have a fair opportunity to bid on truly qualified business."
Barbara Kirklighter, Senior Director, Research & Revenue Strategy
Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board
"There are many online advertising opportunities available today and finding those that fit both marketing needs and tighter budgets has been challenging. A few years ago, when we first joined Convention Planit, I knew that it fit in our budget, but required proof regarding the effectiveness of the site. I am now certain of both. We get qualified leads, good exposure, and a level of personal service rarely found in web based companies. I highly recommend this site and the services provided to those CVB's who are serious about getting meeting and convention business for their communities."
Julie Dodds, Director of Convention Sales
Anchorage Convention & Visitors Bureau
“The reason we've chosen to include ConventionPlanit.com in our online strategy is their excellent customer service; walking that fine line by doing what's right both for the planner and also for us as a vendor of international Destination Management Companies. The ConventionPlanit.com team follows through and follows up - adding the personal touch that distinguishes them and sets them miles apart from hundreds of other online directories. We want to be where they're committed to going - and that's to the heart of the needs of today's planners.”
Jane E. Schuldt, CITE World Marketing Group
Minneapolis, Minnesota
"When it comes to booking new meetings, it’s all about qualified leads. That’s what I get from ConventionPlanit.com. Their leads have generated a number of new meetings for me, and I highly recommend them."
