Promotional Calendars
Sloppy marketing programs have no place in growing rope courses businesses. A strategy chocked full of time-sensitive ad placements and other tactics can devolve into a tangled mess of overlapping deliverables unless it is coordinated in a promotional calendar. Good calendars include not only tactical deadlines, but also schedules for the inputs (e.g. staff assets, vendors, etc.) that are required to execute strategic objectives. When used in tandem with a quality mailing list provider, promotional calendars can ensure the continuous execution of direct mail campaigns.
Generating Buzz
Never underestimate the value of good buzz with consumers. You've heard it said before: Word of mouth is the best form of promotion for products and brands. For a rope courses business, buzz is a critical consideration in the marketing mix. To encourage marketplace conversations, you'll need to equip consumers with the tools they need to create meaningful brand dialogues. Social networking and other online strategies can play a foundational role when they are performed in tandem with face-to-face interactions and industry networking.
Bundling
Today's marketplace is all about perceived value. The more you can do to communicate value to consumers, the more likely it is that they will respond positively to your messaging. Businesses that bundle products tap into the market's psyche by creating the perception (real or imagined) of cost-savings. Nearly any type of business can tap into the benefits of bundling products or services, so it's easy to see how rope courses businesses can use bundling to communicate value to their base. Often, bundling is used to offload excess inventory or to pair a low profit product with one that has a higher markup.
