Sales & Lead Generation

Whether aiming to attract leisure travelers or business events to their destinations, MarketID takes a targeted, multipronged approach to generating, qualifying, and converting leads for its clients. While leveraging data-driven sales tools and digitally optimized promotions, we maintain that face-to-face interaction remains the most effective means to build long-term, high-value business relationships.

Our sales services include:
Lead generation

We work to identify potential business opportunities and leads from the North American market. Lead Reports provide detailed information on the decision makers, meeting history, status of the lead, and follow-up recommendations. Our transparency helps clients to build their database, manage RFPs, and ultimately win more business.

Sales calls
MarketID makes regular sales visits to key planners, travel advisors, and key decision makers. We make targeted sales calls based on the needs of the destinations and venues and our own knowledge of which individuals present the greatest potential ROI for the client.
Reporting

MarketID provides monthly comprehensive reporting on all sales and marketing activities so that clients can effectively track KPIs and ROI. Reports on sales missions, sales calls, and other special activities are provided immediately upon the completion.

Sales missions & Roadshows

Sales missions allow the sales managers of destinations and venues to meet with a high number of qualified travel advisors, meeting planners, and tour operators over a concentrated period of time. More than simply a meeting with prospective clients, MarketID approaches these missions as targeted marketing campaigns, with pre- and post-meeting communications, giveaways, and presentations, as well as full follow-up on leads.

For destinations seeking to engage leisure travelers, we also help our clients to plan and execute marketing roadshows. These multicity tours provide a chance to connect with customers, prospects, and partners through presentations, immersive activities, and networking. We tailor these experiences to the client’s needs and target customers.

Brand Strategy

Public Relations & Advertising

To cut through the noise of today’s overloaded media environment, it’s critical to have a partner who knows how to get their audiences’ attention. We do just that by leveraging press relationships and market expertise to position our clients as thought leaders with exciting stories to tell.

MarketID leverages its long-standing relationships with leading media brands in the business and leisure travel trades, to ensure that your compelling stories get in front of meeting planners, travel advisors, and other influencers. These PR efforts reach across numerous channels, including digital, print, mobile, and social.

For any paid advertisements, MarketID can tap into our network of industry contacts to make recommendations on media plans to ensure any advertising spend stretches as far as possible.

Additionally, MarketID’s active social engagement efforts connect your message with key markets in personal and targeted ways, reaching your audiences where they are.
