Division Seeks Insider Info., Signature Packages

As we continue to build out the Ohio Tourism Division Facebook page, there are two more sections in which the Division can help promote your tourism entity. We will be introducing an “Insider Info.” section where we can list “secret handshake” type deals and fun, interesting facts that will add to the consumer’s experience on Ohio’s Facebook page. What we are seeking for Insider Info. are unwritten, off-the-menu type offers and advice that will make consumers following Ohio on Facebook an “insider” – that person who always knows the inside scoop on Ohio travel. For example, we can post your secret password that allows visitors to your establishment to get a little something extra – an extra scoop of ice cream, automatic upgrade, percentage off on tickets, etc. Or perhaps you have some little-known, very interesting factoid that would enhance a visitor’s experience.

The second new piece we are preparing to post on Facebook is Signature Packages. For this area, we are seeking quality packages (i.e. lodging bundled with tickets or an experience outside of the lodging property, possibly a meal, etc. available for purchase) to promote via social media, website and beyond.

Please send information for both Insider Info. and Signature Packages to Leslie Holbrook at Fahlgren Mortine PR, leslie.holbrook@fahlgren.com by June 17.
