Marketing a Camp
Trying to market a camp? It's a crowded marketplace, but with dedication and persistence, great marketing can help your business outperform larger competitors.
There are no shortcuts to success in marketing a camp. In this industry, the application of fundamental marketing tactics is more valuable than promotional fads and gimmicks.
By applying a few common sense tips and marketing fundamentals, you can avoid the pitfalls and set your company on the path to marketing success.
Marketing Expertise
Don't have a background in marketing? That shouldn't stop you from taking a larger promotional role in your company by educating yourself about today's most effective marketing concepts. Resources are limited and most camps can't afford to invest large sums of money in untested strategies or first-time marketers. When in doubt, tap into either an internal or external knowledge base to design your company's marketing strategy.
Leveraging Print Ads
You're probably familiar with many of the ways print advertising has been used to market camps. Historically, Gutenberg's invention has been used for a broad range of commercial and promotional applications. But although businesses have more promotional options than ever before, there are many attractive venues for featuring your camp in print. The difference is that it's more important than ever to make sure the publications you target reach the right people. Publications geared toward large, general readerships tend to be less productive than publications that are read by likely buyers of your products and services.
Cost Tracking
The economy is a constant concern for people who own a camp. You can't afford to waste money on inferior marketing resources. Since every dollar counts, it pays to buy mailing lists from trusted vendors. Good mailing lists are money in the bank; they deliver leads, revenue and most importantly, new customers.
But mailing lists aren't the only way you can reduce costs. Most accounting software solutions have features that allow you to track costs in multiple expense categories and receive alerts when expenses suddenly swing outside of normal parameters.
