The New Educational Visits Guide 2012 There’s never been a better time to advertise!Here at Elmtree Press, our team has been very busy over the past few months developing the Educational VisitsGuide for 2012 and creating an exciting new website www.educationalvisitsuk.com to help teachers and group leaders plan their trips.

With over 21 years experience in the schools market, we understand that many group organisers have limited time to search for information, soour mission is to make Educational Visits UK THE place to come to find all the details needed to plan a trip. With this in mind we have introduceda new section for group accommodation both within the guide itself and on our website.

The Guide.... We continue to work in conjunction with local education authorities throughout the country ensuring our guides find their way toevery school in England and Wales including the independent sector and numerous youth group organisers. An unrivalled distribution serviceyou’re unlikely to get anywhere else. Despite the increase in print and distribution prices this year we are pleased to say that our prices remainextremely competitive so whatever your budget, advertising with us can help you promote yourself to this very important market.

The Website....We now have additional facilities online where group leaders can leave reviews of places they’ve visited helping others to plan theirtrips. Additionally there are new options for promoting your attraction including banner adverts; featuring as an attraction of the month on ourhome page or using our services to specifically target teachers and group leaders regarding a special event or educational workshop. Throughout2012 we will be running competitions and targeting teachers through social media to help promote the website, events and places to visit or staywhich will in turn help boost our site in search engines.

Benefits of advertising with Educational Visits UK:� A Well Established and Trusted Guide – we distribute 37,000 free of charge copies to schools, youth groups and scouting & guiding

1. This bookOver the years this guide has evolved into theformat you see before you, both in physical sizeand in the way the information is containedwithin. We’ve split the country into 5 regionsgeographically, and each of those regions hasits own section of the guide (distinguished by arange of colours). In each you’ll find a mapshowing the locations of the variousattractions, all of which are assigned a number,and then in the pages that follow listed underthat number there’s loads of information,pictures and contact details for each one!

This structure is great, because if you’replanning to visit more than one place, then youcan see at a glance what other attractions arenearby. The maps are also handy for thosestruggling for ideas of where to take a trip, butif you already know the name of the placeyou’re looking to visit you can use thealphabetical index atthe back of the guideto find it. The indexshows what subjectsare covered by eachattraction throughthe use of a simpleset of symbols.
