If you’ve never been on a cruise, Holland America Line will be happy to take you on a virtual tour. Just scan the Microsoft Tags in its brochures or print ads with your smartphone, and you’ll be transported to a robust mobile site with videos of onboard activities, from dining to night clubs. Aloha, baby!
Mobile Marketer interviewed Sally Andrews, vice president of public relations at Holland America, about its adoption of Tag for mobile marketing. “The Microsoft Tag technology is another innovative way to more actively engage the consumer in our brand experience, and leverages the latest technology to do so,” says Andrews.
“It’s one thing to read about the various dining options you have on a cruise and see beautiful photo examples of the food,” she notes. “It’s a different experience entirely to hear the Master Chef talking about the culinary offering, our newly formed Culinary Council of world-renowned chefs, and to see the kitchen and dining venues in a video.”
