Goals: Clearly state your marketing goals and audience. What did you strive to achieve using this piece or program?
A pandemic that began in winter with the promise to end in summer, carried on well into the fall putting a damper on the ability of extended American families to gather for Thanksgiving, traditionally one of the most-traveled holiday weekends. Stepping in to save the day: Club Wyndham, the nation’s largest member-based travel club with its 15-day extended stay Quar-nucopia travel bubble package.
Objectives:
• Pivot from traditional holiday travel messaging to recognize market sentiment that 50% of Americans planned to cancel Thanksgiving and address barriers preventing families from gathering
• Build goodwill, demonstrating how Club Wyndham understands the importance of keeping family traditions and is making it possible and affordable
• Positively reinforce key Club Wyndham messages – home away from home accommodations, within driving distance and health and safety protocols, among key consumer audience
Results: Which of your original goals did you achieve and how? How did you measure the effectiveness of the piece or campaign? Entrants should provide quantifiable results of their tactics or campaigns. (for example, click through rates or ad equivalency)
