On March 5, Convertible Caravans of Europe met with our OSSN group Southern Al Chapter for brunch at IHOP in LaGrange, Ga.
We enjoyed the very complete PowerPoint on Globus, Cosmos, Monograms and Avalon Waterways. Lots of good pointers on marketing materials available to us, as well as knowledge of what differentiates their products from the other suppliers in our industry. Good meeting! Love the full windows that open to 7 feet wide on their river cruise ships (most of them). They have a great video to share with your clients. Top left Bobbie Murphy.
