New in 1985, this series of 12 regional brochures provides trip planning information on all 50 states, the nation's capital and the U.S. Pacific and Caribbean island territories. Each pocket-size brochure is divided and indexed by individual states, and highlights major cities, resort areas, activities and attractions. Detailed maps are included for locating key areas and principal highways. Brochures like these, translated into the language of the target market country, are critical to our response service

abroad for prospective visitors. Our in-country offices also use them in training programs for the wholesale and retail travel trade, and can mail them, on request, as fulfillment pieces for states and regions participating in the USTTA cooperative advertising program but currently without their own brochures in the language of the target market. States, cities, other destinations and suppliers are encouraged to provide USTTA's overseas offices with their own more detailed booklets and brochures, which USTTA will then distribute in response to specific requests. In most markets abroad USTTA also offers additional information on specialized travel, such as that by the handicapped.

What will be your share of this enormous market? If you are not now advertising to consumers abroad, or if you would like to enhance the effectiveness of your current program, you will want to participate in the United States Travel and Tourism Administration's 1986-87 cooperative advertising venture. Because of the unique impact of seeing several related ads in a coordinated package, cooperative advertising offers you a highly effective way to increase consumer awareness of your product and enlarge your portion of the lucrative international travel market-at no increase in cost over a normal ad insertion. Every segment of the tourism industry can profit from cooperative advertising: state and local governments, all types of transportation, hospitality services, attractions, credit card companies. States aggressively promoting foreign tourism can greatly increase their shares of international tourism receipts. Recent figures show that foreign visitors provided 33 percent of Hawaii's total tourism earnings, 14 percent of Florida's and 8 to 10 percent of tourism revenues of New York, Arizona and Texas. Examine the variety of cooperative advertising plans in this booklet. Consider their important advantages: expanded audiences for your message, increased credibility and ad retention, research in the actual marketplace, complete coupon fulfillment services, and many difficult details handled for you by USTTA. USTTA invites you to join us and other cooperating advertisers in this promising-and profitable- international venture.

USTTA's Cooperative Test Program in Germany

The decision to mount a major 1986 consumer advertising program was made in late 1984 based on a worldwide survey of consumer attitudes, perceptions and preferences. Using the N.W. Ayer Developmental Labs technique of consumer focus groups in nine locations in Europe, Canada, Mexico, Japan and Australia, the central theme "America. Catch the Spirit” was developed as an umbrella slogan for the entire United States. This theme, not limited to any single area or activity, embraces the uniqueness and unrivaled diversity of the American tourism offering—the striking contrasts which the visitor finds here and the amazing variety of our touristic attractions. Since so broad and challenging a concept could not be projected in advertising in many major markets within available budgets, a test program was conducted in a single large market. Other public and private organizations interested in testing a deeper penetration of tourism opportunities abroad were invited to participate. Germany was selected as the target market because it was moderately large and highly competitive, had a strong economy, and as a non-English-speaking country, would effectively test the workability of a universal English language headline expressing the American character. The acceptance of the German test program by U.S. travel industry suppliers and destinations suggests that this type of campaign should be repeated in Germany and extended to other world markets.

Tandem advertising creates a strong collective identity for the entire United States or for a selected target region, a seasonal activity such as beach holidays or skiing, or other travel motivation. In this example, the United States Travel and Tourism Administration created a colorful advertisement presenting the entire United States as a unique destination with an endless variety of scenic attractions. Transportation services, hotel networks, major theme parks and attractions with nationwide resources joined USTTA in placing their own ads in the same issues of several carefully selected foreign magazines for this major 1986 marketing campaign. The American Airlines-Avis ad shown here is a joint cooperative advertisement representing an agreement between two advertisers to share ad space, using a theme appropriate to both advertisers' offerings. Each advertiser paid for its own advertisement and enjoyed the synergistic value of being part of an overall campaign marketing the United States in competition with other tourismreceiving nations. To further amplify the impact of this coordinated effort, each advertiser was encouraged to display the unifying theme line, “America. Catch the Spirit."

This two-page spread was the leading ad in USTTA'S 1986 campaign introducing the theme "America. Catch the Spirit" to German consumers. Key publications used were Stern (circulation 1.5 million) and Spiegel (920,000). Other leading publications, less expensive per placement but with highly targeted travel readership, included GEO (circulation 490,000), Capital (300,000) and Merian (185,000).

Newspaper Travel Sections

Canadian newspapers, like those in major U.S. cities, commonly publish separate travel advertising sections in their Sunday editions, and occasionally in daily editions as well. This practice is rarely used in other countries. To arrange a special USA travel section like that shown here, USTTA encourages a newspaper publisher to plan a “special issue” exclusively devoted to travel advertising for U.S. destinations and related transportation services. The travel section may feature the U.S. as a whole, specifically target a particular region, such as Sun Country, the Pacific Northwest, or the Great Lakes, or feature a specialized or seasonal activity or attraction like skiing, national parks, summer beaches, or winter vacations-in-the-sun. This technique creates an attractive mix for many advertisers: a series of related destinations, attractions and services, and air and surface carriers. This medium is also especially suitable for small properties and services which normally cannot afford to buy large newspaper spacę units or pages in high-cost magazines. USTTA'S 1984 and 1985 Canadian marketing programs included special fall sections in the Toronto Star (circulation 518,000). In the November 19, 1985, issue shown here, one U.S. advertiser purchased a two-page spread, three U.S. advertisers purchased full-page units; the remaining advertisers purchased space ranging from over one-half page to single-column units. These and other advertisers participated in the fall 1985 Toronto Star campaign:

The advertorial technique attractively combines the marketing value of full-page advertising with the credibility of editorial content. It has strong appeal and high readership, as well as a greater retention rate. Since many readers are unaware that advertorial copy is advertising, they read—and absorb—it as they would other features of the host publication. Advertorial material is prepared in a style compatible with that of the host publication. Individual advertisers provide or choose illustrations and draft text, while the publisher retains overall editorial and graphic control. Each advertiser receives equal coverage for equal cost, and the coordinated, magazine format encourages the reader to peruse and compare offerings rather than skip and skim through a series of unrelated advertisements. The advertorial section may be permanently bound into the host publication, or may be a “pullout" booklet for the reader to remove and save for future vacation planning. As shown here, the advertorial insert may be used simultaneously in several publications for maximum market impact. Additional quantities of these booklets can be produced for complementary uses—in mailings, as fulfillment pieces for couponed advertising, and for distribution to the retail trade at travel shows, meetings and seminars. The advertorial style works best with a regional or other theme, and is a very attractive advertising technique for states and travel associations in a geographic area, or individual communities and attractions in a major tourism destination.

In this example of the advertorial technique,

each participant (those shown, plus Los Angeles, South Dakota, Reno and Idaho) had two full pages devoted to its destination.

The campaign ran in three Canadian

magazines: Westworld (circulation

657,000), Western Living (circulation 244,000) and Vancouver (circulation 81,000).

Consumer Response and Coupon Measurement

Using coupons in travel advertising provides a quick and easy way to measure and analyze consumer interest. USTTA encourages all cooperative advertisers to coupon their ads. In the United Kingdom and Canada, “bingo cards," where the reader checks off one or more boxes for information, have produced high response rates. For advertisers without sales offices in target markets, USTTA can arrange coupon or bingo card fulfillment at cost through our mailing house contractor. The key to a successful couponing program is the offer of an attractive free "product"-a colorful folder or information booklet in the local language providing more information about your special offerings. For our own advertisements, USTTA offers a full-color, 812 inch by 11 inch Holiday Planner on the United States, as well as colorful pocket-size brochures on 12 major U.S. regions, translated into the languages of targeted markets. (See pages 18 and 19.) USTTA will also mail these brochures, on request, as coupon fulfillment pieces for states or regions interested in participating in cooperative advertising programs but currently without their own brochures in the local language. USTTA can also provide, at nominal cost, a summary of inquiries from prospective visitors interested in the state or region. USTTA's market research periodically evaluates how cooperative advertising programs have affected readers: whether the ads influenced them to travel, the length of the trips they took, and how much they spent on their trips. Results of the study covering the year October 1, 1984, through September 30, 1985, will be published in late 1986.

New in 1985, this series of 12 regional brochures provides trip planning information on all 50 states, the nation's capital and the U.S. Pacific and Caribbean island territories. Each pocket-size brochure is divided and indexed by individual states, and highlights major cities, resort areas, activities and attractions. Detailed maps are included for locating key areas and principal highways. Brochures like these, translated into the language of the target market country, are critical to our response service

abroad for prospective visitors. Our in-country offices also use them in training programs for the wholesale and retail travel trade, and can mail them, on request, as fulfillment pieces for states and regions participating in the USTTA cooperative advertising program but currently without their own brochures in the language of the target market. States, cities, other destinations and suppliers are encouraged to provide USTTA's overseas offices with their own more detailed booklets and brochures, which USTTA will then distribute in response to specific requests. In most markets abroad USTTA also offers additional information on specialized travel, such as that by the handicapped.

What will be your share of this enormous market? If you are not now advertising to consumers abroad, or if you would like to enhance the effectiveness of your current program, you will want to participate in the United States Travel and Tourism Administration's 1986-87 cooperative advertising venture. Because of the unique impact of seeing several related ads in a coordinated package, cooperative advertising offers you a highly effective way to increase consumer awareness of your product and enlarge your portion of the lucrative international travel market-at no increase in cost over a normal ad insertion. Every segment of the tourism industry can profit from cooperative advertising: state and local governments, all types of transportation, hospitality services, attractions, credit card companies. States aggressively promoting foreign tourism can greatly increase their shares of international tourism receipts. Recent figures show that foreign visitors provided 33 percent of Hawaii's total tourism earnings, 14 percent of Florida's and 8 to 10 percent of tourism revenues of New York, Arizona and Texas. Examine the variety of cooperative advertising plans in this booklet. Consider their important advantages: expanded audiences for your message, increased credibility and ad retention, research in the actual marketplace, complete coupon fulfillment services, and many difficult details handled for you by USTTA. USTTA invites you to join us and other cooperating advertisers in this promising-and profitable- international venture.

USTTA's Cooperative Test Program in Germany

The decision to mount a major 1986 consumer advertising program was made in late 1984 based on a worldwide survey of consumer attitudes, perceptions and preferences. Using the N.W. Ayer Developmental Labs technique of consumer focus groups in nine locations in Europe, Canada, Mexico, Japan and Australia, the central theme "America. Catch the Spirit” was developed as an umbrella slogan for the entire United States. This theme, not limited to any single area or activity, embraces the uniqueness and unrivaled diversity of the American tourism offering—the striking contrasts which the visitor finds here and the amazing variety of our touristic attractions. Since so broad and challenging a concept could not be projected in advertising in many major markets within available budgets, a test program was conducted in a single large market. Other public and private organizations interested in testing a deeper penetration of tourism opportunities abroad were invited to participate. Germany was selected as the target market because it was moderately large and highly competitive, had a strong economy, and as a non-English-speaking country, would effectively test the workability of a universal English language headline expressing the American character. The acceptance of the German test program by U.S. travel industry suppliers and destinations suggests that this type of campaign should be repeated in Germany and extended to other world markets.

Tandem advertising creates a strong collective identity for the entire United States or for a selected target region, a seasonal activity such as beach holidays or skiing, or other travel motivation. In this example, the United States Travel and Tourism Administration created a colorful advertisement presenting the entire United States as a unique destination with an endless variety of scenic attractions. Transportation services, hotel networks, major theme parks and attractions with nationwide resources joined USTTA in placing their own ads in the same issues of several carefully selected foreign magazines for this major 1986 marketing campaign. The American Airlines-Avis ad shown here is a joint cooperative advertisement representing an agreement between two advertisers to share ad space, using a theme appropriate to both advertisers' offerings. Each advertiser paid for its own advertisement and enjoyed the synergistic value of being part of an overall campaign marketing the United States in competition with other tourismreceiving nations. To further amplify the impact of this coordinated effort, each advertiser was encouraged to display the unifying theme line, “America. Catch the Spirit."

This two-page spread was the leading ad in USTTA'S 1986 campaign introducing the theme "America. Catch the Spirit" to German consumers. Key publications used were Stern (circulation 1.5 million) and Spiegel (920,000). Other leading publications, less expensive per placement but with highly targeted travel readership, included GEO (circulation 490,000), Capital (300,000) and Merian (185,000).

Newspaper Travel Sections

Canadian newspapers, like those in major U.S. cities, commonly publish separate travel advertising sections in their Sunday editions, and occasionally in daily editions as well. This practice is rarely used in other countries. To arrange a special USA travel section like that shown here, USTTA encourages a newspaper publisher to plan a “special issue” exclusively devoted to travel advertising for U.S. destinations and related transportation services. The travel section may feature the U.S. as a whole, specifically target a particular region, such as Sun Country, the Pacific Northwest, or the Great Lakes, or feature a specialized or seasonal activity or attraction like skiing, national parks, summer beaches, or winter vacations-in-the-sun. This technique creates an attractive mix for many advertisers: a series of related destinations, attractions and services, and air and surface carriers. This medium is also especially suitable for small properties and services which normally cannot afford to buy large newspaper spacę units or pages in high-cost magazines. USTTA'S 1984 and 1985 Canadian marketing programs included special fall sections in the Toronto Star (circulation 518,000). In the November 19, 1985, issue shown here, one U.S. advertiser purchased a two-page spread, three U.S. advertisers purchased full-page units; the remaining advertisers purchased space ranging from over one-half page to single-column units. These and other advertisers participated in the fall 1985 Toronto Star campaign:

The advertorial technique attractively combines the marketing value of full-page advertising with the credibility of editorial content. It has strong appeal and high readership, as well as a greater retention rate. Since many readers are unaware that advertorial copy is advertising, they read—and absorb—it as they would other features of the host publication. Advertorial material is prepared in a style compatible with that of the host publication. Individual advertisers provide or choose illustrations and draft text, while the publisher retains overall editorial and graphic control. Each advertiser receives equal coverage for equal cost, and the coordinated, magazine format encourages the reader to peruse and compare offerings rather than skip and skim through a series of unrelated advertisements. The advertorial section may be permanently bound into the host publication, or may be a “pullout" booklet for the reader to remove and save for future vacation planning. As shown here, the advertorial insert may be used simultaneously in several publications for maximum market impact. Additional quantities of these booklets can be produced for complementary uses—in mailings, as fulfillment pieces for couponed advertising, and for distribution to the retail trade at travel shows, meetings and seminars. The advertorial style works best with a regional or other theme, and is a very attractive advertising technique for states and travel associations in a geographic area, or individual communities and attractions in a major tourism destination.

In this example of the advertorial technique,

each participant (those shown, plus Los Angeles, South Dakota, Reno and Idaho) had two full pages devoted to its destination.

The campaign ran in three Canadian

magazines: Westworld (circulation

657,000), Western Living (circulation 244,000) and Vancouver (circulation 81,000).

Consumer Response and Coupon Measurement

Using coupons in travel advertising provides a quick and easy way to measure and analyze consumer interest. USTTA encourages all cooperative advertisers to coupon their ads. In the United Kingdom and Canada, “bingo cards," where the reader checks off one or more boxes for information, have produced high response rates. For advertisers without sales offices in target markets, USTTA can arrange coupon or bingo card fulfillment at cost through our mailing house contractor. The key to a successful couponing program is the offer of an attractive free "product"-a colorful folder or information booklet in the local language providing more information about your special offerings. For our own advertisements, USTTA offers a full-color, 812 inch by 11 inch Holiday Planner on the United States, as well as colorful pocket-size brochures on 12 major U.S. regions, translated into the languages of targeted markets. (See pages 18 and 19.) USTTA will also mail these brochures, on request, as coupon fulfillment pieces for states or regions interested in participating in cooperative advertising programs but currently without their own brochures in the local language. USTTA can also provide, at nominal cost, a summary of inquiries from prospective visitors interested in the state or region. USTTA's market research periodically evaluates how cooperative advertising programs have affected readers: whether the ads influenced them to travel, the length of the trips they took, and how much they spent on their trips. Results of the study covering the year October 1, 1984, through September 30, 1985, will be published in late 1986.

What will be your share of this enormous market? If you are not now advertising to consumers abroad, or if you would like to enhance the effectiveness of your current program, you will want to participate in the United States Travel and Tourism Administration's 1986-87 cooperative advertising venture. Because of the unique impact of seeing several related ads in a coordinated package, cooperative advertising offers you a highly effective way to increase consumer awareness of your product and enlarge your portion of the lucrative international travel market-at no increase in cost over a normal ad insertion. Every segment of the tourism industry can profit from cooperative advertising: state and local governments, all types of transportation, hospitality services, attractions, credit card companies. States aggressively promoting foreign tourism can greatly increase their shares of international tourism receipts. Recent figures show that foreign visitors provided 33 percent of Hawaii's total tourism earnings, 14 percent of Florida's and 8 to 10 percent of tourism revenues of New York, Arizona and Texas. Examine the variety of cooperative advertising plans in this booklet. Consider their important advantages: expanded audiences for your message, increased credibility and ad retention, research in the actual marketplace, complete coupon fulfillment services, and many difficult details handled for you by USTTA. USTTA invites you to join us and other cooperating advertisers in this promising-and profitable- international venture.

USTTA's Cooperative Test Program in Germany

The decision to mount a major 1986 consumer advertising program was made in late 1984 based on a worldwide survey of consumer attitudes, perceptions and preferences. Using the N.W. Ayer Developmental Labs technique of consumer focus groups in nine locations in Europe, Canada, Mexico, Japan and Australia, the central theme "America. Catch the Spirit” was developed as an umbrella slogan for the entire United States. This theme, not limited to any single area or activity, embraces the uniqueness and unrivaled diversity of the American tourism offering—the striking contrasts which the visitor finds here and the amazing variety of our touristic attractions. Since so broad and challenging a concept could not be projected in advertising in many major markets within available budgets, a test program was conducted in a single large market. Other public and private organizations interested in testing a deeper penetration of tourism opportunities abroad were invited to participate. Germany was selected as the target market because it was moderately large and highly competitive, had a strong economy, and as a non-English-speaking country, would effectively test the workability of a universal English language headline expressing the American character. The acceptance of the German test program by U.S. travel industry suppliers and destinations suggests that this type of campaign should be repeated in Germany and extended to other world markets.

Tandem advertising creates a strong collective identity for the entire United States or for a selected target region, a seasonal activity such as beach holidays or skiing, or other travel motivation. In this example, the United States Travel and Tourism Administration created a colorful advertisement presenting the entire United States as a unique destination with an endless variety of scenic attractions. Transportation services, hotel networks, major theme parks and attractions with nationwide resources joined USTTA in placing their own ads in the same issues of several carefully selected foreign magazines for this major 1986 marketing campaign. The American Airlines-Avis ad shown here is a joint cooperative advertisement representing an agreement between two advertisers to share ad space, using a theme appropriate to both advertisers' offerings. Each advertiser paid for its own advertisement and enjoyed the synergistic value of being part of an overall campaign marketing the United States in competition with other tourismreceiving nations. To further amplify the impact of this coordinated effort, each advertiser was encouraged to display the unifying theme line, “America. Catch the Spirit."

This two-page spread was the leading ad in USTTA'S 1986 campaign introducing the theme "America. Catch the Spirit" to German consumers. Key publications used were Stern (circulation 1.5 million) and Spiegel (920,000). Other leading publications, less expensive per placement but with highly targeted travel readership, included GEO (circulation 490,000), Capital (300,000) and Merian (185,000).

Newspaper Travel Sections

Canadian newspapers, like those in major U.S. cities, commonly publish separate travel advertising sections in their Sunday editions, and occasionally in daily editions as well. This practice is rarely used in other countries. To arrange a special USA travel section like that shown here, USTTA encourages a newspaper publisher to plan a “special issue” exclusively devoted to travel advertising for U.S. destinations and related transportation services. The travel section may feature the U.S. as a whole, specifically target a particular region, such as Sun Country, the Pacific Northwest, or the Great Lakes, or feature a specialized or seasonal activity or attraction like skiing, national parks, summer beaches, or winter vacations-in-the-sun. This technique creates an attractive mix for many advertisers: a series of related destinations, attractions and services, and air and surface carriers. This medium is also especially suitable for small properties and services which normally cannot afford to buy large newspaper spacę units or pages in high-cost magazines. USTTA'S 1984 and 1985 Canadian marketing programs included special fall sections in the Toronto Star (circulation 518,000). In the November 19, 1985, issue shown here, one U.S. advertiser purchased a two-page spread, three U.S. advertisers purchased full-page units; the remaining advertisers purchased space ranging from over one-half page to single-column units. These and other advertisers participated in the fall 1985 Toronto Star campaign:

The advertorial technique attractively combines the marketing value of full-page advertising with the credibility of editorial content. It has strong appeal and high readership, as well as a greater retention rate. Since many readers are unaware that advertorial copy is advertising, they read—and absorb—it as they would other features of the host publication. Advertorial material is prepared in a style compatible with that of the host publication. Individual advertisers provide or choose illustrations and draft text, while the publisher retains overall editorial and graphic control. Each advertiser receives equal coverage for equal cost, and the coordinated, magazine format encourages the reader to peruse and compare offerings rather than skip and skim through a series of unrelated advertisements. The advertorial section may be permanently bound into the host publication, or may be a “pullout" booklet for the reader to remove and save for future vacation planning. As shown here, the advertorial insert may be used simultaneously in several publications for maximum market impact. Additional quantities of these booklets can be produced for complementary uses—in mailings, as fulfillment pieces for couponed advertising, and for distribution to the retail trade at travel shows, meetings and seminars. The advertorial style works best with a regional or other theme, and is a very attractive advertising technique for states and travel associations in a geographic area, or individual communities and attractions in a major tourism destination.

In this example of the advertorial technique,

each participant (those shown, plus Los Angeles, South Dakota, Reno and Idaho) had two full pages devoted to its destination.

The campaign ran in three Canadian

magazines: Westworld (circulation

657,000), Western Living (circulation 244,000) and Vancouver (circulation 81,000).

Consumer Response and Coupon Measurement

Using coupons in travel advertising provides a quick and easy way to measure and analyze consumer interest. USTTA encourages all cooperative advertisers to coupon their ads. In the United Kingdom and Canada, “bingo cards," where the reader checks off one or more boxes for information, have produced high response rates. For advertisers without sales offices in target markets, USTTA can arrange coupon or bingo card fulfillment at cost through our mailing house contractor. The key to a successful couponing program is the offer of an attractive free "product"-a colorful folder or information booklet in the local language providing more information about your special offerings. For our own advertisements, USTTA offers a full-color, 812 inch by 11 inch Holiday Planner on the United States, as well as colorful pocket-size brochures on 12 major U.S. regions, translated into the languages of targeted markets. (See pages 18 and 19.) USTTA will also mail these brochures, on request, as coupon fulfillment pieces for states or regions interested in participating in cooperative advertising programs but currently without their own brochures in the local language. USTTA can also provide, at nominal cost, a summary of inquiries from prospective visitors interested in the state or region. USTTA's market research periodically evaluates how cooperative advertising programs have affected readers: whether the ads influenced them to travel, the length of the trips they took, and how much they spent on their trips. Results of the study covering the year October 1, 1984, through September 30, 1985, will be published in late 1986.

New in 1985, this series of 12 regional brochures provides trip planning information on all 50 states, the nation's capital and the U.S. Pacific and Caribbean island territories. Each pocket-size brochure is divided and indexed by individual states, and highlights major cities, resort areas, activities and attractions. Detailed maps are included for locating key areas and principal highways. Brochures like these, translated into the language of the target market country, are critical to our response service

abroad for prospective visitors. Our in-country offices also use them in training programs for the wholesale and retail travel trade, and can mail them, on request, as fulfillment pieces for states and regions participating in the USTTA cooperative advertising program but currently without their own brochures in the language of the target market. States, cities, other destinations and suppliers are encouraged to provide USTTA's overseas offices with their own more detailed booklets and brochures, which USTTA will then distribute in response to specific requests. In most markets abroad USTTA also offers additional information on specialized travel, such as that by the handicapped.

What will be your share of this enormous market? If you are not now advertising to consumers abroad, or if you would like to enhance the effectiveness of your current program, you will want to participate in the United States Travel and Tourism Administration's 1986-87 cooperative advertising venture. Because of the unique impact of seeing several related ads in a coordinated package, cooperative advertising offers you a highly effective way to increase consumer awareness of your product and enlarge your portion of the lucrative international travel market-at no increase in cost over a normal ad insertion. Every segment of the tourism industry can profit from cooperative advertising: state and local governments, all types of transportation, hospitality services, attractions, credit card companies. States aggressively promoting foreign tourism can greatly increase their shares of international tourism receipts. Recent figures show that foreign visitors provided 33 percent of Hawaii's total tourism earnings, 14 percent of Florida's and 8 to 10 percent of tourism revenues of New York, Arizona and Texas. Examine the variety of cooperative advertising plans in this booklet. Consider their important advantages: expanded audiences for your message, increased credibility and ad retention, research in the actual marketplace, complete coupon fulfillment services, and many difficult details handled for you by USTTA. USTTA invites you to join us and other cooperating advertisers in this promising-and profitable- international venture.

USTTA's Cooperative Test Program in Germany

The decision to mount a major 1986 consumer advertising program was made in late 1984 based on a worldwide survey of consumer attitudes, perceptions and preferences. Using the N.W. Ayer Developmental Labs technique of consumer focus groups in nine locations in Europe, Canada, Mexico, Japan and Australia, the central theme "America. Catch the Spirit” was developed as an umbrella slogan for the entire United States. This theme, not limited to any single area or activity, embraces the uniqueness and unrivaled diversity of the American tourism offering—the striking contrasts which the visitor finds here and the amazing variety of our touristic attractions. Since so broad and challenging a concept could not be projected in advertising in many major markets within available budgets, a test program was conducted in a single large market. Other public and private organizations interested in testing a deeper penetration of tourism opportunities abroad were invited to participate. Germany was selected as the target market because it was moderately large and highly competitive, had a strong economy, and as a non-English-speaking country, would effectively test the workability of a universal English language headline expressing the American character. The acceptance of the German test program by U.S. travel industry suppliers and destinations suggests that this type of campaign should be repeated in Germany and extended to other world markets.

Tandem advertising creates a strong collective identity for the entire United States or for a selected target region, a seasonal activity such as beach holidays or skiing, or other travel motivation. In this example, the United States Travel and Tourism Administration created a colorful advertisement presenting the entire United States as a unique destination with an endless variety of scenic attractions. Transportation services, hotel networks, major theme parks and attractions with nationwide resources joined USTTA in placing their own ads in the same issues of several carefully selected foreign magazines for this major 1986 marketing campaign. The American Airlines-Avis ad shown here is a joint cooperative advertisement representing an agreement between two advertisers to share ad space, using a theme appropriate to both advertisers' offerings. Each advertiser paid for its own advertisement and enjoyed the synergistic value of being part of an overall campaign marketing the United States in competition with other tourismreceiving nations. To further amplify the impact of this coordinated effort, each advertiser was encouraged to display the unifying theme line, “America. Catch the Spirit."

This two-page spread was the leading ad in USTTA'S 1986 campaign introducing the theme "America. Catch the Spirit" to German consumers. Key publications used were Stern (circulation 1.5 million) and Spiegel (920,000). Other leading publications, less expensive per placement but with highly targeted travel readership, included GEO (circulation 490,000), Capital (300,000) and Merian (185,000).

Newspaper Travel Sections

Canadian newspapers, like those in major U.S. cities, commonly publish separate travel advertising sections in their Sunday editions, and occasionally in daily editions as well. This practice is rarely used in other countries. To arrange a special USA travel section like that shown here, USTTA encourages a newspaper publisher to plan a “special issue” exclusively devoted to travel advertising for U.S. destinations and related transportation services. The travel section may feature the U.S. as a whole, specifically target a particular region, such as Sun Country, the Pacific Northwest, or the Great Lakes, or feature a specialized or seasonal activity or attraction like skiing, national parks, summer beaches, or winter vacations-in-the-sun. This technique creates an attractive mix for many advertisers: a series of related destinations, attractions and services, and air and surface carriers. This medium is also especially suitable for small properties and services which normally cannot afford to buy large newspaper spacę units or pages in high-cost magazines. USTTA'S 1984 and 1985 Canadian marketing programs included special fall sections in the Toronto Star (circulation 518,000). In the November 19, 1985, issue shown here, one U.S. advertiser purchased a two-page spread, three U.S. advertisers purchased full-page units; the remaining advertisers purchased space ranging from over one-half page to single-column units. These and other advertisers participated in the fall 1985 Toronto Star campaign:

The advertorial technique attractively combines the marketing value of full-page advertising with the credibility of editorial content. It has strong appeal and high readership, as well as a greater retention rate. Since many readers are unaware that advertorial copy is advertising, they read—and absorb—it as they would other features of the host publication. Advertorial material is prepared in a style compatible with that of the host publication. Individual advertisers provide or choose illustrations and draft text, while the publisher retains overall editorial and graphic control. Each advertiser receives equal coverage for equal cost, and the coordinated, magazine format encourages the reader to peruse and compare offerings rather than skip and skim through a series of unrelated advertisements. The advertorial section may be permanently bound into the host publication, or may be a “pullout" booklet for the reader to remove and save for future vacation planning. As shown here, the advertorial insert may be used simultaneously in several publications for maximum market impact. Additional quantities of these booklets can be produced for complementary uses—in mailings, as fulfillment pieces for couponed advertising, and for distribution to the retail trade at travel shows, meetings and seminars. The advertorial style works best with a regional or other theme, and is a very attractive advertising technique for states and travel associations in a geographic area, or individual communities and attractions in a major tourism destination.

In this example of the advertorial technique,

each participant (those shown, plus Los Angeles, South Dakota, Reno and Idaho) had two full pages devoted to its destination.

The campaign ran in three Canadian

magazines: Westworld (circulation

Consumer Response and Coupon Measurement

Using coupons in travel advertising provides a quick and easy way to measure and analyze consumer interest. USTTA encourages all cooperative advertisers to coupon their ads. In the United Kingdom and Canada, “bingo cards," where the reader checks off one or more boxes for information, have produced high response rates. For advertisers without sales offices in target markets, USTTA can arrange coupon or bingo card fulfillment at cost through our mailing house contractor. The key to a successful couponing program is the offer of an attractive free "product"-a colorful folder or information booklet in the local language providing more information about your special offerings. For our own advertisements, USTTA offers a full-color, 812 inch by 11 inch Holiday Planner on the United States, as well as colorful pocket-size brochures on 12 major U.S. regions, translated into the languages of targeted markets. (See pages 18 and 19.) USTTA will also mail these brochures, on request, as coupon fulfillment pieces for states or regions interested in participating in cooperative advertising programs but currently without their own brochures in the local language. USTTA can also provide, at nominal cost, a summary of inquiries from prospective visitors interested in the state or region. USTTA's market research periodically evaluates how cooperative advertising programs have affected readers: whether the ads influenced them to travel, the length of the trips they took, and how much they spent on their trips. Results of the study covering the year October 1, 1984, through September 30, 1985, will be published in late 1986.
