PROMOTION

The most visible of the 4ps.

Promotional techniques aim to increase awareness and demand for products.

Marketing Services
Tourism is a service. Services differ from physical products, This needs to be taken into account when marketing them

How Tourism Differs

Tourism is more supply-led than other services All ready have the product then research which market might be interested in purchasing it.
Dunedin the destination is already here who wants to visit.

Tourism product might involve the co-operation of several suppliers.

e.g. Package holiday

How Tourism Differs

Tourism is a complex, extended product experience with no predictable critical evaluation point. Pre trip anticipation and post trip reflection While trips to the same destination may be the same different variables can make the trip different and hard to evaluate against

How Tourism Differs

Tourism is a high-involvement, high-risk product to its consumers
Involves committing large sums of money to something reasonably unknown

Tourism is a product partly constituted by the dreams and fantasies of its customers.
Unlike banking and car repair, tourism is not consumed for rational, functional purposes.

How Tourism Differs

Tourism is a fragile industry susceptible to external forces beyond the control of its suppliers Tourism organisations sometimes have to make rapid responses to crises in the form of product redesign, price reductions or promotional damage limitation.
