TWO SHOT, ANCHORS IN STUDIO.

PUSH IN ON ANCHOR 1.

ANCHOR 1:

Each year, more than two- and-a-half MILLION pieces of traveler’s luggage are lost or mishandled in the United States alone. Airlines and other travel organizations are required to keep the baggage for just a short time, and then they are allowed to auction off each piece of luggage to the highest bidder.

ANGLE ON ANCHOR 2.

ANCHOR 2:

If you’ve ever experienced the hassle and frustration of trying to recover lost luggage, and/or you want to avoid such a problem in the future, there’s a new Canadian company that has a solution that you should know about. REPORTER is in Toronto, Canada (or, at specified airport such as LAX) with a report about amazingtags.com.

THEN, PULL BACK TO REVEAL REPORTER NEXT TO LUGGAGE-LADEN AIRPORT BAGGAGE TERMINAL CAROUSEL

REPORTER STANDUP:

Every airline flight across the continent renders hundreds of pieces of luggage like what’s on this carousel right now. Many bags look similar and it’s often difficult to tell them apart.

CLOSER ANGLE AS REPORTER HOLDS UP COLORED YARN AND PAPER AIRLINE TAGS

REPORTER STANDUP CONTINUED:

Until Amazingtags came along, travelers could identify their luggage with standard airline tags like these, tags that came with their luggage, or brightly colored fabric to distinguish their property from other passengers.

NARRATION:

Each tag is printed using a special technique known as dye sublimation. Heat and pressure transfers the ink below the surface of the plastic tags.

MORE LUGGAGE HANDLING ACTIVITY AT AIRLINE FROM AIRLINE POV (INSIDE BAGGAGE HANDLING CENTER).

NARRATION:

Make no mistake about it, the airlines work very hard to keep track of each piece of your luggage, but when you have several DOZEN airlines connecting through HUNDREDS of airports with TENS of THOUSANDS of pieces of luggage to account for EVERY DAY of the year, there’s bound to be some items that are lost or misplaced.

Another way that Amazingtags protects you and your property is by keeping your name and address off your luggage tag.

MAINTAIN SHOT. REPORTER REFERS IN GESTURE TO HOME BEHIND HIM/HER.

When you put your name and address, or phone number on a luggage tag, you may inadvertently be providing crooks with information that you are traveling—and that your home is a ready target.
