SOUTHLAKE, Texas
-- Jurni Network, the agency consortium created by Sabre Travel
Network in 2003, rolled out Jurni Online, a suite of Web site
products for its affiliates.
Jurni Online
allows members to create and maintain individually branded consumer
sites with promotions and content from Jurni preferred suppliers
regularly updated by Jurni Network. In addition, a network
spokesman said, the Jurni agencies can customize their sites with
varying designs, custom logos and other elements.
Optional upgrades
will allow members to include air, car and hotel booking
capabilities by incorporating a Sabre booking engine or another
booking engine of their choice. Members also will be able to add
unique content and special promotions of their own, Jurni Network
said.
The Jurni Online
product is a private-label version of Passport Onlines NexCite Web
site program.
Jurni Online
sites, which can be marketed in e-mail promotions, also include a
quick search box and the capability for establishing a sweepstakes
or asking visitors to register for an agency newsletter (which will
help members acquire names for their databases), Jurni Network
said.
Members will license
Jurni Online for a monthly fee.
A comparable Web
site product line for hosted independent agents will be unveiled in
late summer, Jurni Network added.
