Our Attractions Marketing Strategies

Prior to the pandemic, consumer spending on experiences was higher than at any other point in recent history. While many attractions were devastated by the pandemic, pent-up demand has been pushing an increase in visits, and at some attractions attendance is reaching an all-time high. However, this boom won’t last forever and competition for share of wallet will only continue to ramp up. If there is one thing we’ve learned at our attractions marketing agency from the pandemic is the importance of engaging your guests online (both pre and post-visit) and on all the channels they now spend the bulk of their time on.

Whether you are a national, regional, or local player, the tried-and-true marketing tactics of the past are no longer on their own enough to stand out from the crowd. You need to have a framework for capturing and leveraging consumer data, strategy for leveraging influencers, and an ability to provide a digital experience (web/app/email) that is on par with what they have come to expect from the other brands they love. These are the areas where we’ve seen so many attractions – including zoos, aquariums, theme parks, and museums – fall short, and we’re on a mission to change that.

Marketing Expertise We Provide

Marketing Expertise We Provide

While we already have a lot of insight about consumers seeking family-friendly experiences, we start most engagements with research aimed at developing an in-depth understanding of your unique local or regional audience and what drives them to take action. We’ve found that we can make the biggest impact on the organization when we start there and allow those learnings to inform our marketing strategies and digital customer experience efforts. While that’s often where we start, we also offer a number of point solutions that move the needle for our clients including:

  • Brand Experience Strategy
  • Social Media (Content Strategy, Influencer Outreach, & Quarterly Planning)
  • Website Experience (Content, Design, & Development)
  • Mobile App Experience
  • Creative Campaign Development
  • Performance Media & Data Analysis
  • Loyalty Marketing Strategies
  • Special Exhibit Marketing
