Theme parks & Museums

Let the marketing of your theme park become an experience in itself

Do you represent a science center with interesting exhibits? An amusement park with splashy attractions, fluffy cotton candy and carousels that go round-round-round? Or maybe a theme park with entertaining shows, pony rides and big loads of ice cream? How fun! As a theme park, you have countless opportunities when it comes to marketing and communication with your guests. Let us guide you through customer data, segments and automations – and let marketing become an experience in itself.

How can marketing become an experience?

Let's talk about one important thing first. When the product – as in your case – is not a physical item that the customer can feel and squeeze before buying it, you need to think a little differently. You sell an expectation and an image of something, which is bought at one point but consumed later, and therefore the guest needs to be warmed up.

That's where, in the warm-up, marketing and communication with the buyer comes in. You need to create a hype. An experience in the form of marketing. You need to produce texts, images and moving material that captures the recipient's interest, that is spot-on in relevance and that convinces the person that a visit to your particular theme park will be an experience he will not soon forget.

Of course, at the same time, you make sure that reality matches what you portray in your communication. And that you don't send everything to everyone. Keep scrolling to read more about how we can help you.

Channels & data in the same system

In our system, you collect all sales and customer data from your ticketing and booking systems. In addition, the data is directly linked with several channels – such as SMS, email, automations and Facebook – where the data is available at the touch of a single button. (Good bye, exporting and importing!)

Your unique customer segments

Do you want to talk to families with several children, those who live within 50 km of your park, or people who visit you during weekdays? With MarketHype you create your own segments. You follow up the target groups, how they grow and what they buy. In addition, you easily communicate personal messages to the different segments in different channels.

Smart automations

Automated communication is smart. It both drives sales, saves you a lot of time and strengthens customer relations. In MarketHype's automation tool, you set up communications that inform, sell and connect guests closer to you, where intelligent filtering makes targeting your marketing a breeze.

"Following a recommendation from our booking system, we chose to connect the booking system with the customer data platform MarketHype. With the connection, all customer data from Citybreak enters the system automatically, which is then presented in an easy-to-understand manner. The customer insights have become many since the collaboration started!"

Engagement

The star prize in the wheel of fortune is yours to use!

A visit to your theme park evokes many different emotions. It's joy, laughter and butterflies in the stomach. Curiosity, thirst for knowledge and wow factors. Tension and nervousness. Nostalgia and new memories.

Since the engagement is great and the expectations high, it's easier for you to cut through the noise than for many other industries. You should take advantage of this enormous advantage. Dare to communicate often, dare to relate to those feelings and dare to show that you wholeheartedly care about your park visitors. It will pay off, we promise.

Content

What should the communication with the guests include?

What do you want to say? And what does the guest need to know? When planning newsletters, SMS automations and Instagram advertising, you can have two types of content in mind: need-to-know and nice-to-know.

Need-to-know is things that the visitor needs to know. Where can the car be parked? What food options are available? Do the tickets need to be printed and where are the rides picked up? Here you can get inspiration from your customer service.

Nice-to-know is things that the guest doesn't really need to know, but which might be nice to know. Examples are information about optional products, the week's lunch specials in the restaurant and if there are ponchos for rainy days.

A third type of content is content that only strengthens the bonds between you and the customers. "Welcome to the park! We hope you'll have a great day." is a simple but nice message to be greeted by upon arrival.
