Free Travel Offer Listings on HelloBC.com
Destination BC’s summer marketing campaign – which will launch once we are again able to promote travel, in accordance with the orders and guidelines of the Provincial Health Officer and BC’s Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General – will encourage British Columbians to explore their own province and open their minds to new places and experiences.
As part of the campaign, DBC will promote Travel Offers as a “hook” to encourage potential travellers to explore a variety of BC experiences, attractions, and accommodations. Research shows that offers play an important role in moving the consumer’s mindset from planning to purchasing and is also a great opportunity for businesses to feature new products or experiences, drive website traffic/bookings and ultimately acquire new customers.
To take advantage of this campaign and motivate travellers to book with you, we encourage you to post up to three offers on HelloBC today, so you are ready when we can all travel again!
This program does not require you to discount your experience or product. Destination BC provides an avenue to showcase the current offers and/or added value that you already have available.
Offers must incorporate one or more of the following:
A package of experiences and services at a compelling price point (e.g. a deal including accommodation, meals, and an activity)
A value-add (e.g. free night, meal or tickets included in price)
Existing offer such as an on-going BC resident offer
A discount (e.g. early booking, limited offer, % or $ off, special rate)
There is no minimum or maximum discount required, but significant discounts which clearly demonstrate value to the consumer tend to perform best.
Example offers:
There is no cost to participate and submitting your offers is easy.
What you’ll need:
The offer name
The offer details (maximum 120 characters)
Start and end dates which the offer is valid
A link to the offer details on your website
One picture to display with your offer*
