News Brief - October 2023 | |
You have print collateral...we have a means to get it out there. | |
|
If you received our shows marketing form in the mail, at a glance it can look a little daunting to see all the shows in the list of options. Let us break it down a little...
Annually, we attend about 24 consumer travel shows across the US and in Canada. The majority of those shows are geared toward RV travelers (who, we might add, are looking for things to do and places to go whether they're RVing or not). But we continue to build our offerings, not only in the number shows in our menu, but also types of shows including travel shows and public other events for consumers. Dare we say that old adage, we have something for everyone?
You spend a portion of your limited budget to produce your collateral material, be it a simple rack card or a full magazine. Get it in front of the traveling public and qualified leads without having to put an address label and stamp on every one.
Opt in to all the shows, select those in your drive market, or send brochures to the ones with the biggest attendance #s. If you need some guidance or show intel, drop us a line at info@merchantrytourism.com or call 585-615-7742.

Merchantry Tourism Out and About... | |
|
Don Bennett, Jr. traveled to gorgeous Lake Placid, NY in October, to attend the Hospitality Summit hosted by the NYS Restaurant Association (NYSRA) and the NYS Hospitality & Travel Assocation (NYSH&TA).
Merchantry Tourism, LLC was a proud breakfast sponsor of the New Jersey Campground Owners Association (NJCOA) Fall Tour and Annual Meeting, hosted at Kymer's Camping Resort this past September. Suzanne greatly enjoyed the campground tours around New Jersey's Skylands Region and getting to know the many campground operators that came out for the event.
| |
In September, Suzanne shared a table and had lunch with Taryn Delanie Smith, content creator and 2022 Miss New York (and Miss America 1st runner up). Taryn was a seminar presenter at the annual meeting of the NYS Tourism Industry Association in Rochester, NY. (PS, Taryn is the lovely looking lady on the right, behind Suzanne). | |

"Meh, Brochures! Why Bother?"
Research, and our own "man on the street" conversations with real consumers at shows, indicates print is not only relevant, it's desired!
| |
It's all relative. Digital marketing helps people access print materials. Print materials guide people to resources on the web. That's our informed opinion, anyway, for what it's worth. This is why Merchantry Tourism stands so firmly entrenched in the brochure distribution aspect of our services. Brochures might not be travelers' only resource, but they're still valued and needed. And we get them out there. Opt into one show or many, but check out the 2024 shows distribution program at www.merchantrytourism.com. Early bird discounting is going on now. | |
