Using Twitter for Canadian Tourism Marketing Experiment.

by Doug on May 13, 2009

Introducing…

A new Twitter Marketing Experiment designed to promote Canadian Fishing Lodges.

Twitter has been getting a great deal of attention within the Marketing Circles so I’ve been researching the Twitter methodology of the most successful Twitter accounts online, and using their strategies for Tourism Marketing, specifically, for fishing and hunting trips.

Growth of Twitter

The exponential growth in the uptake of Twitter is partly because Twitter works so well with texting to and from a mobile phone.

Mobile phones now outnumber land-line subscriptions four to one – and represents a fundamental change in the way people are accessing the Internet.

WHO

Presently, eight Fishing and Hunting Lodges from Canada, and Sunset Country Travel Association, are included in the experiment. These initial businesses were selected because:

  • they are Members in the CanadianFishingBook.com Directory
  • and they have a blog with an RSS Feed.


    • WHAT

    Mobile-Phone-Friendly Fishing Reports from Canada on Twitter!
    Self Selecting Audience – Content is everything.

    Get Fishing Reports on TwitterIf fishing in Canada interests you, then so would these Twitter accounts! Because all that these Twitter accounts talk about is fishing! Fishing News, Fishing stuff on eBay and real Fishing Reports from actual, real, Fishing Lodges in Canada!

    HOW
    Keyword specific Twitter accounts are managed by a combination of unique and powerful Tools to drive traffic directly to fishing reports on new blog posts.
    For Example:

    Each time a new Blog Post is made by one of the members, a ‘Tweet’ is sent out – including a hyperlink to the new post.
