Over 80 Cruise lines in the world!
![Page 20: Do Wealthy People Click? Silversea Cruises Leveraging Digital Media](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030317/554cfc5bb4c905ae138b5442/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

The Situation
Previous efforts brought many people into the funnel – and the call center sorted them out
FPO

Strategic Drivers - Social Monitoring
I love Silversea Cruises for many reasons, the butler is one of them!
I slept well on Silver Whisper during my cruise that ended last Saturday. Now I’ve learned that the luxury line will offer Pratesi custom made bed linens.. I may not get out of bed on my next cruise.
It’s quiet, grown-up, and passengers tend to be able to amuse themselves… Age really isn’t a factor. It’s always an interesting group of people who enjoy getting to know you.
You deserve to be warned about just how addictive Silversea is.

New Ways to Place Banners• New banner ads include 2013 Brochure messaging
— Strategically positioned on CruiseCritic.com once discussions around the release of the brochure were identified within the site’s forum pages through Social Listening & Monitoring
“the much anticipated 2013 (brochure) finally made its way to NYC…a few lucky souls have reported to receive theirs early”
“They did a nice job on the book…for those of us who now enjoy having ‘the book’ in our hands…what are your impressions?”

Social
• Advertising on Facebook, targeted to affluents

and although higher CPLs, they were more targeted
