Thread: Joystar Opens its Miami Cruise Center

Tuesday March 15, 9:30 am ET - Company Enhances Cruise Commissions for Agent Network



ALISO VIEJO, Calif., March 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Joystar, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: JYSR - News), the nation's largest and fastest growing travel agency network announced today the opening of The Joystar Miami Cruise Center and enhanced commission opportunities for the Company's travel agent network.

William Alverson, CEO of Joystar, stated, "Our independent agent base has grown to over 1,100 members since its launch less than a year ago and it was imperative that we have a Florida based Cruise Center to assist our agents in growing their cruise business. The Joystar Miami Cruise Center adds another important support component to what is already, the largest home-based agent network in the industry. Our agent members will now benefit from having access to our California support staff, along with a cruise support staff in Florida. Our cruise center staff have over 200 years combined experience in selling group and individual cruises."

The Miami Cruise Center cruise has been recognized as a Carnival Top Account; a Radisson Seven Seas Cruises Top account; a Cunard Inner Circle Agency; a Holland America Centurion Agency; a Norwegian Cruise Lines Capitan's Club Agency; a Princess I-Excel Agency and has held Key Account status with Celebrity and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. These preferred supplier relationships give Joystar agents access to top account commission levels and special promotions. This, combined with our new online cruise booking engine due out later this month, empowers Joystar members to compete head to head, with the likes of Expedia, Travelocity and other large cruise only agencies.

Larry Norman, Sr. V.P. of Sales and Manager of Joystar said, "The staff of our Miami Cruise Center is excited about joining the Joystar family and are looking forward to working with Joystar's national network of home-based agents." Mr. Norman continued, "Our cruise line representatives are also excited about being able to market their products and special promotions to Joystar's 1,100 plus home-based agents. They know that Joystar's massive sales force will help educate the over 80% of the North Americans that have never been on cruise, as to the great value of a cruise vacation."

The addition of the Miami Cruise Center's agent support staff and enhanced commission levels will further enhance Joystar's competitive advantage. "We added 300 new professional agents in the last 45 days and project to hit the 2,000 agent mark in June. If each agent generates an average of $150,000 a year in complex travel bookings, we'll soon be at a $100 million run-rate in sales," said Alverson.
