direct advertising to the GTA The creative was effective and should be retained in future campaigns The mix of broadcast media and print chosen for this campaign appears to have delivered good return on investment. One might consider optimizing website traffic and somewhat reducing the number of print vehicles in future campaigns (though Food & Drink should be retained) While greater weight behind television would be beneficial, the heavy investment involved would have to be assessed relative to budget realities. The role of online advertising and the web-site should be expanded with a focus on reaching these target groups. This could include customized and directed calls-to-action with linkage to other media. Future campaigns should be sensitive to the wider advertising context for Niagara. Efforts might be made to achieve some creative alignment with major attractions. One could also contemplate dialling up couples messaging and somewhat dialling-down family themes in light of the weight of the former that already exists in the marketplace.
