Editor's Notes
- Another marketing priority in our five-year strategy is to develop a long-term, evidence-based plan to identify target markets and ensure we are making strategic investments in those areas. Most of our crucial repeat visitors come from the Atlantic region. We value the importance of their business, and industry will continue to work to welcome them back again and again. The NSTA will focus on the first-time visitor market and its potential. To do that we need to focus our efforts and spending outside Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada. Towards that goal, we will reallocate marketing funds to focus on first-time visitors from markets outside the Atlantic region. Most of you know our key markets. They are based on careful evaluation of a number of factors, including population size, proximity and access, economic conditions and many more. This map shows our key markets. With a media budget of approximately $5 million, we need to make strategic choices about where we spend our money. We will invest in media that speaks directly to our target – the outdoor enthusiast who has never been to Nova Scotia. To capture this market, it ’s vital that we are in-market when people are in the ‘travel planning’ stage, which varies by market. And we need to consider strategic partnerships to leverage our budget and strengthen and amplify our brand. We know that partnerships are at the core of everything we do. As part of our strategy, we will also conduct a strategic review of the partnership funding model and budget to maximize efficiency and ensure alignment.
- The message is the increase in website traffic in 2012 and this will continue to grow, also that mobile traffic growth is more then doubling each year.
- Excellent engagement rates for facebook which means that we have a high number of fans liking, sharing and commenting on each post.
- Features: Quicker load time Top 25 Attractions – which are a cross section of the iconic things to do in NS and can be changed regularly Road Trips – building on the brand idea of getting off the beaten path and discovering something new Greater social media integration Packages call out – packages will change weekly so get your packages entered into the online packages manager as this is the pool we choose our packages from.
- New booking engine – looking to provide more value to industry by finding an engine that will expand the sales channel beyond industry’s website and novascotia.com.
