Our Services
Our Services
As a full service Marketing & Public Relations agency, we provide a wide range of services for the destinations we represent, based on their individual needs and requirements. We are happy to assist you with any services you require and provide you with tailor-made strategies that reach exceptional results.
Destination Marketing
Destination marketing is not just one of our core competencies, it is our passion. Working with top travel trade in the German-speaking market for over 35 years, make us market experts in our field. We are proficient in creating and developing creative marketing campaigns in cooperation with tour operators and airlines which engage and connect with the consumer and travel trade where appropriate. The B2B & B2C campaigns are tailored to the client’s specific needs, targeted and specifically produced to engage with a target audience or market sector.
Trade Shows
Travel trade shows, such as ITB in Germany, are an integral part in our marketing strategy. Therefore we support our clients in booth design, schedule and coordinate appointments with our travel trade and media partners and organize booth events to ensure smooth processes and a successful show.
Fam Tours
Experiencing a destination first hand is essential for travel agencies and product managers as well as media. Therefore we organize fam tours for both individuals and groups to all destinations we represent. Wether it’s the pre-planning part, on-site support or the post-tour evaluation, we are always actively involved in the entire fam tour process and to guarantee a successful outcome for both parties.
Brochure Fulfillment
You can find them in almost every household - tablets, smartphones and e-Books. Whether used at home or on the road, mobile devices are everywhere. However, many German-speaking travelers still prefer printed materials when preparing for their trip. In order to ensure an efficient and cost-effective fulfillment service, we have established our own fulfillment service department.
Sales
With over 35 years in business, we established long-standing and close relationships with all important tour operators in Germany, Austria and Switzerland which enable product placement in relevant tour operator programs and therefore increase in ROI.
Consumer Shows
It is our mission to create as much awareness as possible for the destinations we represent. Hence, participating in selected consumer shows each year we are able to talk to German speaking travelers and spread the word about our unique destinations.
Webinars
While educating tour operators and product managers face-to-face in various workshops is still preferred, we like to use opportunities where we can reach as many people as possible with minimal financial commitment. Therefore we are cooperating with partners in order to create webinars and e-learnings in which participants can learn about the destination.
Social Media
It’s an indispensable tool for the success of a company and certainly the easiest way to reach a great amount of people - social media. In order to create awareness about our clients’ destinations and get the best outcome possible, we carefully select the right platforms for the Germany-speaking market. Monthly content schedules and a content management system allow us to set the right strategies for each destination, monitor the latest trends and analyse outcomes of the creative campaigns we created.
Public Relations
Our comprehensive expertise and close contacts to various travel and lifestyle journalists, TV- and radio, blogger as well as print media and publishing houses, online press portals, consumer and travel trade in Germany, Austria and Switzerland allow us to offer our clients a variety of public relations activities.
Sales Mission
Wether it’s consumers or travel trade, everyone appreciates information they can get first hand. Therefore, we plan complex sales missions with great detail and organize everything, from our client’s stay, transportation, meetings & events travel trade and media to invitations as well as brochure/handout design.
Road Shows
It is our priority to teach travel agents, tour operators or product managers about our destinations. Participating in bowling events or road shows organized by Visit USA has therefore become an integral part in ensuring that the awareness about the destinations we represent is rising.
Webdesign
A proper website is this generations’ business card. Therefore we take care of a fully responsive website, filled with all the information needed by German-speaking travelers who prepare for a trip to one of our destinations. Wether its a one-page or a complex multi-page website, everything will be tailored to our clients requirements and markets needs.
