UOT Launches $1 Million Winter Campaign


The Utah Office of Tourism is spending approximately $1.085 million on a winter marketing campaign including online display banners, paid search engine placement, and television advertising. UOT coordinated campaigns with Ski Utah to extend the reach and effectiveness of both by combining efforts. The Office of Tourism will run TV and online advertising, while Ski Utah will place print and online ads.
    Objectives of the online campaign are to position Utah as a premier destination for winter travelers, increase ski planner/travel guide request and downloads, and increase traffic to our consumer Web site, www.utah.travel. Of the winter media buy, $85,000 will be used to place display ads and $15,000 will go towards paid search engine placement.
