Hey guys--
Just thought I'd share my two cents with you about how important it is for you to offer a go deal to Florence. Not only was Florence the capital of the Kingdom of Italy from 1865 to 1870 (FIVE YEARS), it was a center of medieval European trade and finance; the city is often considered the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and was long ruled by the Medici family. (cited: Wikipedia). Putting those fun factoids aside, most importantly Florence is where I will be studying abroad next semester! I know, I know, you already offered a go deal to Rome and Naples. But I say, big deal! The $80 off is not enough to make up for a RT train ticket to Florence (costing a whopping $120 from Rome, nevermind Naples all the way down in the boondocks).
Now, the interesting part. What's in it for you? Well, Florence is THE LARGEST AMERICAN STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM IN THE WORLD (http://www.studentsville.it/americans.htm). (This may be completely made up and judging by the quality of the website cited, it probably is.) Nonetheless, we all know that Florence is a huge hotspot for studying abroad. From my school alone I can guarantee that if you offer a go deal, at least 20 people will book with student universe (they didn't even mention you guys in the study abroad orientation. they recommended we book on STA travel or continental.com. Blasphemy!!! but don't worry, I'll spread the word if you're nice to momma)
So, let me know when you're ready to hit me up with a go deal to florence. Hey, the historic Center of Florence was DECLARED a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO in 1982, for goodness' sake! Sounds like a good place for a go deal to me. |
