Utilising our cruise retail expertise and regional freelance network, our goal is to support you increase sales by reaching more new & onboard sales staff, increase brand confidence, reduce travel costs, improve setup consistency and help you achieve maritime economies of scale.

CRA+ Onboard helps brands to improve sales performance onboard through face-to-face team training, auditing and sales visits ACROSS THE GLOBE by using our academy freelancers to represent your brand onboard.

 

Introducing our academy freelancers:

  • ex-cruise retail leaders

  • trained and supported by us and by you

  • providing them a stepping stone from ship to shore.

 

Deployed locally:

  • reduce travelling expenses

  • increase global coverage

  • local specialization to market

  • strengthen flexibility and consistency

  • combine visits between brands, reducing costs

 

Our goal is to allow your brand to reach the ships, locations and frontline teams that are difficult for you, to improve sales performance and onboard setup consistency.

 

NB. Freelancers are able to visit both ships and strategic land-based stores on your behalf (ie. resorts, downtown)

We focus on 3 key areas: Training, Auditing, Ambassadors
