Marketing StrategySCPRT wants to more aggressively spread the benefits of tourism across the state by promoting and marketing “undiscovered” South Carolina—destinations both coastal and inland, rural and urban that lack the individual resources to create widespread (significant) exposure for their respective tourism attractions, events, and amenities. The strategy for promoting “undiscovered” South Carolina should be designed to highlight those destinations and niche product categories that will most directly benefit from awareness generated through SCPRT’s marketing program.
Target Audience• Target audiences of Adults 25-64 and
frequent travelers.
• People who consider themselves to be cultural travelers, history buffs, outdoor enthusiasts and foodies. People who want to explore the hidden treasures that only South Carolina can offer.
• Skew plan toward women who are the primary travel decision-makers for a weekend getaway or a longer-stay vacation.
• HHI $75,000+ (based on findings of ad effectiveness study showing HHI of frequent travelers).
