The idea was to focus our attention on clients within a 200-mile radius; reminding them of other reasons to visit Orlando, while honing in on their deeper needs and how the hotel satisfied them. In addition, to potential customers within 25 miles radius were targeted to visit for the day, or for the restaurants.
The strategy was simple, but elegant. Utilizing a 3-prong attack of “create. engage. retarget” we:
- created content, utilized UGC and enlisted influencers
(based on predefined audience traits and needs)
- boosted these posts with an engagement optimization within a 200-mile radius
- used those engagements to craft an “engaged user list” for retargeting purposes
- then retargeted ALL engagers (and added on a lookalike audience) with dark ads designed to sell some specific features and deals.
- >25 miles audiences were pitched experiences, events, cleanliness, deals and more types of ads
- <25 mile audiences were pitched F&B specials, event specials, merch specials.
- Then we tracked the performance of those dark ads against F&B sales as well as room night sales.
