We’re members!
Friday, July 4th, 2008
Like our parents waiting for the Captain Midnight decoder ring, we have been checking the box for weeks waiting for our Soggy Dollar Painkiller membership kit. It just arrived! We are truly special people now. We have a special “Club Member” card that gets us 10% off at the Soggy Dollar store, a Soggy Dollar bumper sticker, some literature reminding us that we’re Soggy Dollar members, a Soggy Dollar Lance Armstrong-like wrist band that says Soggy Dollar Bar on it, some more stuff that says Soggy Dollar all over it, and… get this…free use of the tanning facilities! It says so. Right there in the brochure. We are truly Soggy. Jealous? Well, okay. Here.
Jade’s Virgin Islands scrapbook
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008The tourism folks’ marketing campaign this year is very slick. Credit goes to NY ad firm M Booth & Associates, whose clients range from Ben & Jerry’s to American Express to MGM Mirage. Here’s another piece of the marketing package, aimed mostly at travel agents and planners, and tradeshows.
This is Jade Anderson narrating a scrapbook from her recent travels through the VI’s. It’s long, but it’s fun to watch, plus you get to listen to Jade’s sexy voice. And since you’re here, that means you’re not all that busy right now anyway.
Jade Anderson loves the USVI
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008Here’s a brand new music video the USVI tourism office is releasing to promote the islands featuring the hot Jade Anderson as part of this year’s new marketing push. Enjoy Jade’s video, “Meant to Be” today. Her scrapbook tomorrow! (Did we mention she’s hot?)
Here’s a YouTube link if you want to email this video:

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008Ever wonder where USVI tourists come from? Beverly knows where to spend the time marketing. See her answers, below.. (And tomorrow, check out the incredibly beautiful Jade Anderson!)
What’s up with us?

Why are we so Tourism Commission happy all of the sudden? A couple of reasons the biggest one being we went to a party and had lots of free rum punch.
But also because we learned lots and really never gave much thought to what kind of marketing these islands, all of them in the whole chain, must have to do. It’s a pretty competitive world out there in corporate and travel industry America, and elsewhere in the traveling world.
When WAPA is going broke and former senators are going to jail and the Constitutional Convention only attracts four people it is kind of hard for us to think that anything really works – other than blenders and outboards – in the USVI.
We’re impressed with the tourism commission. It’s got its act together. And we just wanted to tell its story.
Plus. We have a house to rent.
Plus we’re about to spend the next couple of weeks running around the island for you after six dreadful, tie-wearing, weeks away and this stuff helped fire us up.
And Jade Anderson is hot. (You’ll see.)
