Strategic (Business) Planning

 

The Berkshire Visitors Bureau hired Hannah Marketing Group to develop a 3-Year Strategic Plan designed to capture a greater share of tourism dollars for Berkshire County and expand the membership base. Hannah Marketing worked with the community leaders, conducted extensive research and created a Plan that helped unite Berkshire County behind one set of objectives and goals, strategies, tactics and even a new positioning for The Berkshires. While the revenue goals were very aggressive, the Plan enabled us to achieve our goals.

A Strategic Plan defines for a hotel, resort or tourism marketing organization its mission, vision, long-term and short-term goals and the optimal strategies for accomplishing those goals. It provides, in other words, an essential road map for the future.

In developing Strategic Plans, Hannah Marketing (1) assists the client in defining its mission, vision, goals and performance measurements; (2) evaluates the relevant situational factors, including industry trends, the competition, the client’s strengths and weaknesses, key issues, opportunities and threats; and (3) develops strategies to help the client achieve its mission, vision and goals.

For tourism marketing organizations, the areas addressed typically include (1) marketing, (2) membership, (3) management and (4) funding.

This Strategic Planning service is recommended for those organizations needing a highly-focused Strategic Plan, or road map, that defines where they are going and how they are going to get there.
