Kim and David's Kayak Tours offers a variety of coastal kayaking trips. When they started their business, they experimented with advertising but were disappointed with the results. A friend has suggested using sales promotions instead. What are their sales promotion options? Which would have the best potential for success, and why?
What will be an ideal response?
Sales promotions include coupons, contests, rebates, point-of-purchase displays, and free samples. Since they offer a service that probably attracts both one-time and repeat business, contests or rebates do not seem appropriate. Coupons displayed in local hotels and B&Bs could work to attract visitors. Free samples or complimentary trips for workers in restaurants, resort communities, or hotels could create word-of-mouth referrals.
