Plan Ahead of the Season
We’ve all seen the stores that put up Christmas decorations before Halloween has come and gone. It may seem silly, but they're on to something! It is important to plan ahead and have a holiday marketing plan in place well before the season is in full swing.
Spread Cheer (and Promotions!) Online
Your website and online presence are your best-selling tools. It is essential to ensure your holiday tour and activity information is consistent and up to date across all online platforms.
Share Booking Opportunities Across Platforms
Once you've determined what tours and activities to offer this holiday season, and your website and booking flow is up to date with new promotions make sure to update your social media accounts and plan to market your offerings.
