Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Welcome to the roller-coaster world of marketing decision making. There are many things to consider, many issues to face, and this book will show how this process can be less frightening and risky than a roller-coaster ride, yet feature all the thrills and enjoyment associated with it. The first chapter highlights the reasons why some leisure service agencies have not integrated marketing effectively. Further, it suggests reasons how marketing has evolved and why it is beneficial to adopt strategic marketing practices. The issues of barriers to effective marketing, strategies, and benefits are covered, as well as components of leisure service agency marketing. Foundational issues related to effective leisure service agency marketing are clarified in Chapter 2, including leisure service philosophy and its relationship to the quality of people's lives. Chapter 3 is designed to introduce a formal process for applying each of these components in a leisure service agency: funding, evaluating, and enabling marketing action through planning. Further, it addresses issues of particular concern to leisure agencies, including funding marketing efforts and measuring the impacts of these marketing decisions. Chapter 4 addresses the premise that all activities are driven by quality service standards. Quality service involves every aspect of an agency from the products, services, and the experiences it provides, to the standards (e.g., cleanliness, hiring) and processes it creates (e.g., policies/procedures). Chapter 5 discusses research as the heart of effective marketing. Research is needed throughout the marketing process and provides assistance to each phase. Research addresses issues related to understanding demographic and leisure trends; needs of targeted markets; satisfaction of employees, volunteers, and customers; and questions like whether that $10,000 per month billboard is worth the investment. Chapters 6 through 8 are dedicated to developing skills in strategic analysis. Anyone can spend a marketing budget but not everyone can be successful at it. Therefore the key to effective decisions is analyzing and developing a strategy that is based on sound principles and evidence. Targeted markets can be developed through understanding current systems, issues, and future plans. In Chapter 7, the process for target market creation is outlined identifying techniques for selecting appropriate markets. Once determined, agencies can develop a formal strategy for marketing. Chapter 8 highlights ways in which an agency can position themselves and develop or enhance the brand image. It is in this chapter that an agency learns to develop specific target market objectives, and from these objectives, communication decisions will be based. Finally, determining communication decisions is often thought of as the most creative part of marketing decision making. Decisions that are first made in this phase relate to product, service, program, facility, distribution, and pricing considerations. Next, brand image and promotion decisions are made, followed by the various tools used to communicate with the targeted audiences -- public and community relations, advertising, sponsorship, stewardship, selling, and internal marketing. In Chapters 9-14, techniques for effective use of each decision and tool are shared, which will help agencies make successful decisions to achieve target market objectives. This book is supported by an impressive array of online instructor materials including: sample syllabi PowerPoint slides test bank sample marketing plans audio chapter reviews related articles photographs discussion board and more!" -- Publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a review of the current theory and practice of experiential tourism and how it is marketed. Many societies today are characterised by widespread individual wealth of an order previously confined to the elite with the consequence that ownership of ‘ordinary’ physical goods is no longer a distinguishing factor. Instead people are now seeking the ‘extraordinary’ with examples being bodies enhanced through surgery, personal fitness trainers, and, in the case of leisure and tourism, seeking unique and unusual places to visit and activities to undertake. This trend manifests in the increasing consumption of services and the addition of experiential elements to physical goods by businesses aware of societal changes. The trend is enhanced by rapidly changing technology and economic production methods providing new sectors of the world’s population with access to the consumption experiences that are repeatedly featured in the media. This is the experience economy, characterised by a search by consumers for fantasies, feelings, and fun. This book was based on a special issue of Journal of Hospitality Marketing & Mangement.
