2022 Annual Report

WHO WE ARE

The Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board (VFTCB) is a private, non-profit, membership-based sales and marketing organization which actively promotes the Valley Forge area and Montgomery County, PA as a convention site and leisure visitor destination by promoting patronage of its member hotels, restaurants, attractions, and services. The Board represents more than 500 member businesses throughout Southeast Pennsylvania.

The VFTCB is on a mission to increase economic prosperity by promoting Montgomery County’s natural, cultural, and historic assets to raise visibility as a tourism destination for leisure and convention markets. These efforts are meant to drive revenue to our member and partner businesses. The sales and marketing teams work together to fill the more than 9,000 hotel rooms in the county by targeting meeting, sports, tourism and leisure business, sending the sales team to conferences and conventions through the country and across the globe, and strategically marketing to target audiences through print, radio, TV & social media campaigns.

The Board’s funding comes from a combination of a tax imposed on visitors occupying the county’s hotel rooms and membership dues. We look forward to continuing to work together and to welcoming many more new members and partners in the years to come.

THE WINTER BUNDLE

VALLEY FORGE FOR THE HOLIDAYS 2021

ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN: To bring awareness to all that Montgomery County has to offer during the holiday season, we put a seasonal spin on our “Make It Montco” campaign to help drive traffic to the area.

UNIQUE MARKETING MOVES: We identified holiday attractions in the drive market and used geofencing techniques to serve up digital ads. These conquesting locations included major shopping malls in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Delaware, as well as key holiday attractions such as Hersheypark’s Candycane Lane and and Christkindlmarkt in Bethlehem. We also strategically placed digital OOH opportunities, including digital displays in shopping malls across the region.

ACHIEVEMENTS: Our ads performed above industry standards & overdelivered on impressions. Through data from STR, we were able to see a significant lift in overnight rooms, nearly reaching pre-pandemic levels. This campaign also led to the highest Book Direct numbers ever seen by the organization.

WINTER ESCAPE

ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN: There’s no better place for families to be in the winter than Montgomery County. That was the inspiration behind our campaign from January to March. We wanted to highlight all the fun winter activities, both indoor and outdoor, in Montgomery County.

UNIQUE MARKETING MOVES: For the first time, we created a video highlighting the winter attractions in Montgomery County. Working with the team from Seven Knots Film & Video, the spot featured the Alloy Hotel in King of Prussia, Spring Mountain, local trails and more. An aggressive digital and social ad campaign promoted the video and the ad campaign included a spot during Eagles playoffs, OTT, and a partnership with NBC and Telemundo to air the spot during news and the Olympics, leading into the Super Bowl and Peacock.

ACHIEVEMENTS: Our advertising campaign resulted in more than 13,000,000 impressions & drove significant traffic to valleyforge.org to kick off the year.

WHERE KIDS RULE!

ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN: Launched in April 2022, our new summer campaign aimed at driving day and overnight visitors to Montgomery County focused on family travel. Our advertising ran from April to September and included digital, radio, social, OTT, OHH and TV placements on NBC10, FOX 29 and NBC Sports Philadelphia. We targeted the most locations since the pandemic started, from Boston to Virginia, including a heavy presence in Washington, DC. Our targeted DC advertising presence included a partnership with Carvertise, the Washingtonian Magazine, and NPR.

UNIQUE MARKETING MOVES:

In an effort to get our brand in front of regional residents and visitors along the Jersey Shore, we took our message to the sky with aerial advertising. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, our letter banner with the message “You’re Missing all the Fun in Montco PA valleyforge.org” flew from Atlantic City to Cape May, reaching more than 12,000,000 people.

To encourage visitation to local attractions, restaurants and more, the team created the Montco Family Fun Savings Pass, in partnership with Bandwango, to offer discounts to local family-friendly businesses. The pass had more than 175 downloads during the summer.

ACHIEVEMENTS: The media buy generated more than 30-million impressions across tv, radio, out of home and digital advertising. Our focused advertising efforts in the Washington, DC market made a big splash, with an increase in the number of overnight visitors from this market.

MAKE IT MAIN STREET

ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN: Our popular Make it Main Street Campaign continues to deliver for us, focusing on the people & businesses that make Montco special. This year, we focused on creating unique, short-form video content in different months to celebrate the heritages in Montgomery County. We focused on Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Pride Month and also Ukrainian-owned businesses. A strategic advertising campaign was also developed to push each of these businesses.

UNIQUE MARKETING MOVES:

Our social media team turned these videos into special content on our Tik-Tok channel, highlighting these businesses as hidden gems in Montco.

Our radio partnership with iHeartRadio featured local radio personalities, including legendary Philadelphia Radio host, Patty Jackson, of WDAS, promoting Montco’s small business community.

We partnered with the Philadelphia Phillies to share the Make it Main Street message behind home plate at Citizens Bank Park.

ACHIEVEMENTS: The campaign drove thousands of new users to our website, helped increase our follower count on social media, and significantly increased web page views.

GOLF

ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN: Recognizing the importance of golf to Montgomery County, the team invested in marketing Montco as the ultimate golf destination. We promoted the 50+ golf courses in leading industry publications, with digital ads on high-impact and popular golf websites, tv and more.

UNIQUE MARKETING MOVES:

In partnership with NBC10 to drive more traffic to montcgolf.com, our television commercial for Montco Golf aired during all major golf tournament, including The US Open, The British Open, The BMW Championship, The Tour Championship, and The President’s Cup.

The VTFTCB was excited to welcome the APGA Tour to Bluestone Country Club for the second year. The APGA is a non-profit organization with the mission of preparing African Americans and other minority golfers to compete at the highest level of professional golf. New this year, the APGA hosted at Youth Clinic at the Club at Shannondell to teach children in the Montco community the game of golf.

ACHIEVEMENTS: Through this campaign, we increased site engagement and requests for Montco Golf Guides and newsletter signups.

CRAVE MONTCO & MONTCO MAKERS PASSPORT

ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN: This campaign promotes Montco’s 1,600 restaurants and Montco Makers. It showcases the delicious & diverse restaurants in Montco, plus breweries, wineries and distilleries loved by so many.

UNIQUE MARKETING MOVES:

Crave Montco Month - More than 70 restaurants & Montco Makers took part in the second annual Crave Montco Month. A new video was created, an extensive ad buy targeted regional residents to dine in Montco, and for the first time, a social media influencers event was held at the King of Prussia Town Center to promote Crave month.

New Montco Makers Passport - To better position Montgomery County as a premier craft beverage destination and draw more visitors to the area, the team launched a brand new passport called the Montco Makers passport. This free pass replaces the Montco Makers App, and featured a gamified check-in process for visitors to when prizes when they visit participating Montco Makers. The Montco Makers Passport had more than 60 users in the first month.

ACHIEVEMENTS: Our paid media campaign for Crave Montco Month delivered more than 3,000,000 impressions, resulting in more than 23,000 pageviews to cravemontco.com. That’s a 485% increase YOY.

To better understand the visitor economy, WE’VE PARTNERED WITH ZARTICO. Through Zartico’s data, we can gather unique insights into who is visiting our county, where they are going, and how much they are spending.

By combining our internal information with Zartico’s geo-location, event, and financial data, we can better tailor our marketing to potential visitors.

ARTS MONTCO

With more than 200+ arts and culture venues, Montgomery County is the best place to experience local theaters, galleries, museums, gardens, live music & more. The team is committed to making artsmontco.com the go-to source for art lovers in the region.

ARTS MONTCO INITIATIVES:

MONTCO ARTS WALL: We partnered with the King of Prussia Mall for new installations that celebrate the diverse artists within Montgomery County. In February and March, the large-scale display featured 15 BIOPC artists who produce their work or have it displayed in one of the County’s art galleries. In June, the installation highlighted LGBTQ+ artists in the area. In the fall, the wall will feature Hispanic artists. Arts Walls were also installed at the Philadelphia Premium Outlets and Centre Theater for the Charles L. Blockson Exhibition.

SHOWS: In June, the team welcomed a free, family-friendly theater show, The American Revolution, to Washington Memorial Chapel. The show features seven actors who perform atop a platform elevated two feet off the ground to present a retelling of America’s founding. Visitors from all over the region attended the performance across two-days.

ARTS MONTCO WEEK & JAZZ FEST: The second annual Arts Montco Week returned in September. This week highlights the need to support the arts, culture and entertainment venues in the county. Additionally, this year’s Arts Montco Week festivities included the debut of the first-ever Montco Jazz Fest, a weekend featuring some of the nation’s most celebrated jazz musicians performing in intimate and engaging concerts throughout the County. Events included concerts, jazz brunches, and more. A special kick-off event took place at Rivet Canteen and Assembly in Pottstown, sponsored by Montgomery County Community College.

A NEW VIDEO was also created with the help of Neighborhood Film Company to promote Arts Montco Week. The video was used on social media and part of the paid media plan, in which the team ran ads on high-impact websites, partnered with major publications and radio stations to promote the arts in Montco.

Meetings Market continues its rebound from the lingering impacts of the pandemic. After our early 2022 surge from Omicron, we started to see an increase in future planning activity and are on pace to generate over 21,000 room nights this year (increase of 80% over STLY). We recognized we needed to do more to further develop this important segment so we partnered with Aloysius, Butler & Clark to launch THE LARGEST MEETING CAMPAIGN our organization has ever compiled. Part of the campaign included the rebranding of Revolutionary Events into our Room for Meetings, Room for More campaign – further focusing on the amenities that make Montgomery County, PA an ideal choice for meetings. So far, the Room for Meetings campaign created over 10 million impressions across 30+ industry placements. Placements include industry leading publications such as Smart Meetings, Northstar, and Mit-Atlantic Events, as well as new digital placements allowing us to reach new audiences. Thanks to the campaign, pageviews on valleyforge.org/meetings were up nearly 500% over last year.
