PADI Pool Party – Bring a friend Combo

By /

PPP-logoIn 2015 – PADI launched very successful the PADI Pool Party. That the whole event will become even more successful, you can combine the PADI Pool Party with “the bring a friend” campaign. We call that the PADI Pool Party – Bring a friend Combo

We know various “combos“ from other sports like skiing for example , where the combination of downhill and slalom exists, or in ski acrobatics, where the jump is presented in different combinations.

But what about diving and combinations?

We are all familiar with the existing combinations between the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course and the PADI Specialties, or the combination between the PADI Discover Scuba Diving and PADI Scuba Diver / PADI Open Water Diver. But there is now an even better combination – what about a PADI Pool Party – bring a friend combo?

The system is very simple and doesn’t need a lot of preparation.

It is important, that you contact all your customers who did in the past a course with you already and invite there friends for a try dive. This is called “bring a friend”. You can contact your customers through an EPS (Email Processing System) such as Mailchimp fo example.

You invite them to the PADI DSD Pool Party and offer them the Discover Scuba Diving program with a certain discount. Of course, the discount depends on the philosophy of the Dive Centre.
