Surge in School Trip Bookings for JCNT

The Will Net Advertising Group has confirmed impressive figures for its subsidiary, JCNT, as spring school trip bookings have surpassed 9,000 units—representing a remarkable 150% increase compared to the same period last year. This milestone highlights several effective strategies that have contributed to this growth.

One of the main factors driving this surge is the early commencement of the application period on the booking website. By moving the application window forward, JCNT has been able to capitalize on existing sales channels, resulting in a significant uptick in bookings. Moreover, previously dormant sales channels have been revitalized, with enhancements in product recognition further boosting interest among potential customers.

Beyond merely increasing the number of applications, JCNT has also enhanced the clarity of its pricing structure and improved inventory visibility for early reservations, which are instrumental in attracting schools and travel agencies. Additionally, by deploying dedicated account managers in primary regions and extending online consultation hours, the company has successfully reduced the lead time between inquiry and booking, promoting quicker decision-making.

The increase in bookings not only affirms the demand forecast accuracy but has also allowed the company to optimize procurement and delivery systems for its devices. This operational efficiency has resulted in reduced procurement costs, smoother operations during peak periods, and a minimized risk of stock shortages.

With standardized pre-introduction briefings and enhanced support systems, JCNT has also improved service quality, leading to lower cancellation rates and a higher rate of resolving inquiries on the first contact. Customers now benefit from a reassuring experience during the planning phase, knowing that devices are secured and that the entire journey—from application to support—offers a seamless process.

In instances of trouble, the preparedness for quick recovery enables JCNT to maintain a high level of service reliability, supporting the smooth execution of corporate and educational activities.

JCNT's Progress and Future Outlook

Looking forward, JCNT plans to further promote early bookings, aiming to alleviate peak season congestion, thereby enhancing operational stability and optimizing costs. Strengthening joint promotions with educational travel companies and schools is also a key focus, as is acquiring large group bookings. An expansion of online functionalities allowing for one-stop completion of applications, changes, and progress checks is on the agenda.

Feedback from users will continue to be swiftly integrated into products and operations, aiming for sustainable growth and maximization of the value provided.

While the current impact of these initiatives on the consolidated performance of the Will Net Advertising Group is deemed minor, contributions to the consolidated results for the fiscal year 2026 are anticipated to be positive.
