With hotel and convention center traffic down in Saint Louis Drury Inns, Inc. expand their online marketing efforts. The campaign uses Email and direct mail to drive traffic to a special holiday promotion page (www.holidaysatdrury.com) with reduced rates ranging from $49.99-75.99.
Drury’s marketing department hired Atomicdust, a creative agency, to develop a holiday marketing campaign targeted towards holiday problems. Using the tag line "Holiday from the Holidays with Drury Hotels” Atomicdust organized and directed the photo shoot. "We made the set look like a holiday hostel." said Mike Spakowski of Atomicdust, "There was wrapping paper, coffee cups and tinsel everywhere. We really wanted to create contrast with the hotel."
Atomicdust’s design team used the photos to create the Email, direct mail and an online landing page for Drury. By using unique URLs for each execution Drury has the ability to track conversion rates and ROI for the various media.
"We are really excited about this campaign," Anna Ulrich, Drury Hotels eMarketing Project Manager commented. "This is the busy season in the travel and accommodations industry; Atomicdust’s ad sets Drury apart and will attract more business for the holidays."
