creative media based. At WW Hospitality Marketing the lines are blurred. Rather than

HOLIDAY
& SPORTS
CALENDAR
For your reference WW’s Holiday and Sports Calendar will be provided to you
through email prior to the commencement of GFU
Events, holidays and sporting events can be used
as opportunities to increase your occupancy,
generate higher food and beverage revenues, or
for fun public relations promotions. Consider
implementing drink specials such as mint juleps
for the Kentucky Derby or a simple bar menu
during NFL games.
For your consideration, we would recommend allocating
funds for an email blast, 2 posters, and at least 250
flyers for each event you’d like to participate in. Please
note that throughout the year, WW extends special
packages for key events too! WW also sends out
holiday, event and sports reminders to our email
contacts. Sign up for our email blasts today, if you

Did you know that we even have web services? We can help you with:
Responsive Website Design - an approach to web design aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing and
interaction experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide
range of devices (from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones).
Vanity Website - a site designed by us, separate from a branded website. One that exemplifies the service and
experience your customers can expect at your hotel or venue.
Vanity Domain - a domain that is shortened or abbreviated to allow customers to remember your website. On your
marketing collateral you want a website that is short and sweet and most importantly can be remembered.
Website Hosting and Maintenance - Annual hosting and maintenance with us includes the hosting of your site on a
secure and reliable server, bi-annual web audits by our web team and updates to site content as you need them. If you
have an issue all you need to do is email [email protected]!
Email Marketing - We also have an industry-leading set of tools to help your team execute even the most sophisticated
email programs. Built to handle the demands of automated, data-driven marketing, with toolsets for every role in your
organization — even your clients. The unique admin layer lets you easily manage everything from asset management to
roles and permissions. Managing a roster of clients has never been easier. Templated Emails | Bounce Back Design
