Marketing

Marketing is a broad term which is often used interchangeably with activities including communications, advertising and public relations. Successful attractions of all sizes use this technique to attract customers and increase value.

The Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) describes marketing as ” the management process of anticipating, identifying and satisfying customer requirements profitably.” While this gives the impression that it is a cross-organisational exercise, in reality, most companies will have a specific team dedicated to coordinating communications.

Marketers undertake a range of functions, including providing customer insight, providing strategic marketing direction, and managing communications. When devising any activity, the ‘marketing mix’ factors should be considered, which, at their most simple level, are product, place, price, and promotion.

Communications teams at attractions will organise on-site material including guest information, signage, literature and event promotion.
