Editor's Notes
- Amanda introduces us
- So what is contributing to this “Marketing Revolution” we are in…. It’s partly about The Evolution of Media…
- LET’s take us back….to the 50’s The 1950’s was the Golden Age of radio. TV was in black and white. We had programs like the Ed Sullivan Show & Ozzie & Harriet. This was a time when families gathered around together…. the novelty of it all captured their imagination….
- Here are some examples of some Destination & Tourism ads during that time. Print ads during the 50’s were very much about awareness advertising…. College gal telling someone…“We’re seeing Canada by Train” – ….this is like the 1950s version of today’s social media.
- Color TV’s were a standard in every household by the late 60’s. Basically, TV ruled. The US Television industry received $2 billion in advertising, twice that of radio's . A great tag-line could position your brand for decades! Loreal…Because you’re worth it – still being used today… As is Avis – “We try harder”. Tagline is printed on the back of a match book.
- Here are some print ads from the 1960’s. Found an ad for The Battery Park and The George Vanderbuilt hotels in Asheville The ad for Miami beach has a tear off section in the corner. This was likely how you could mail it and receive a visitors guide an example of the early days of direct response advertising…
- In the 1970’s – we had 3 major networks. TIME Magazine was huge. Weekly magazines were very much considered a source for all things interesting and newsworthy. Most adults were reading at least one “printed” newspaper daily.
- Cable television brought with it the “grouping” of specific kinds of shows on one channel. As the industry emerged…. CNN- they were first on the scene. 24 hour news channel. ESPN- sports network for you guessed it sports fans. MTV – Music Television - beginning of music videos. And LOTS of cable networks and channels have been created since then. There are literally thousands to watch now…
- Direct marketing was the fastest growing part of marketing in the early 1990’s. Understanding the consumer Target marketing Building your database, etc. Direct mail campaigns Outbound telemarketing And eventually, email marketing
- Then, we had the “game changer”. The birth of the Internet, and the emergence of Search Engines are central to the rapid changes that happened SINCE that time - to what is happening today….
- From there – EVERYTHING changed…. Instant gratification. E-Commerce was born. I can make purchases from my computer at home. People don’t just think it’s nice to get targeted messages…they demand to be treated like individuals. We have our iconic example of this with Apple distinguishing between the “I’m a Mac”, and “I’m a PC”. Now, marketing is no longer a “one-sided” conversation… Social media has changed that. Consumers are now the “new media”. They are now looking to each other for information.
- We have yet MORE technology…. – like “smart phones” and tablets, further empowering the consumer., and creating another challenge for the marketer. Statistic: Mobile marketing comes of age….
- So the Media is what we would call “fragmented”. We now have social media channels Radio Phone – telemarketing and mobile marketing for smart phones Email marketing Billboards Television Print There are now endless options for marketers to determine the right media mix and the correct strategy.
- Consumer attention is fragmented. A person is literally receiving hundreds and thousands of impressions a day in a variety of ways….
- The savvy consumer can be thinking….
- Power shifted from marketer to the consumer – and consumers want to be ENGAGED.
- Consumer live in an online/offline world – they are sharing their “offline” experiences online – through testimonials and images on social media channels. We now have “FANS” and “Followers” to our brands…. Websites are the central component to inbound marketing effort. Without someone actually being at your destination or property – this is your “brick & mortar” equivalent. It might as well be your “store front”. Trip Advisor and social media channels are now your “word of mouth” advertising. Consumers rely heavily on the Internet to research and they book travel online. Having a managed and consistent presence across all media. Vital to the health of your business. Consumers are not just relying on you to tell them about your destination or attraction. They now search for other endorsements and testimonials from other people on-line. This is what I mean when I said earlier, “People are the new media.”
- What is Brand Integration? It involves “Taking a step back….” We are going to talk more about why we propose taking a fresh look…
- Integration means… Creating a unifying strategy, and compelling “brand voice” Based on field research – visitors AND internal stakeholders. communicating a consistent identity from message to message, and medium to medium. Interweaving that consistent identity and “brand essence ” into every aspect of your organization…
- In implementing “Brand Integration”…..Having the right foundation is everything. When you have this down – you are in great shape. it doesn’t matter what new media comes around – you are always in position to take full advantage of all the new media opportunities available.
- Here are 2 NC Destinations that WE work with that are doing this really well…… For purposes of what we can show you today – we’d like to show you what integration CAN look like, expressed as a promotional marketing campaign… We’ve worked with both of these destinations…
