Mark Simpson and May King discuss reaching guests who avoid social media. Send handwritten letters in colored envelopes, make phone calls, ask for referrals, and pitch local magazines and newspapers in high-booking areas. Advertorials about the local area work better than direct promotion.

So what I've done is I've chopped up the interview and I've broken it down and I've picked out some of the best bits.

If the majority of your guests and your future potential guests aren't using social media, then let's go super old school here and rely on the phone or even better handwriting a letter to your previous guests to tell them about things that are going on, like use it.
As a pen pal.
And also as well as you're doing that when you're doing letter, note, the email or the phone call, always bearing in mind that thing that I say to every single one of you. But do you know anyone? It is super prevalent and very, very powerful. So if, basically if I was writing to you, Jill, there'd be something along the lines of if you can't make to see us this year for whatever reason, if you know anybody, then do you know anybody that would like to come and stay with us? Again, if you know any friend or family member, because that way is a peer recommendation and they'll be able to go, oh, so I've got a friend would love the property, love the area. And again, I feel by going old school then you don't have to rely on social media.
One thing I will say is that, you know, we had many years of junk mail, just throw it out, didn't we? But now we want to see the post that's slightly Different. So if you are going to write a letter, make it, you know, make it different, put it in a different colored envelope, you know, and if you could potentially, you know, get some compelling photographs to showcase what you do. If you don't have computer skills, you may have relatives who might be able to help you. But there's a fabulous website called canva.com a lot of it's free. You can create an amazing flyer and put some really good quality photographs in there to assist you to make that letter really, truly stand out. And, you know, and, and if you are, you know, and you know, Mark talked about the phone call. I mean, that, that's, that's such a great idea. Who do you know? And, and yeah, I think that's, that's something that you could definitely do to try and stand out.
Yeah, definitely. And, and Jill's just being back in the zoom chat saying a target market, busy professionals coming together with, with friends or family don't like to spend time on social media. Totally get that. So again, if it is the business professionals, think about, look on, say that you've got a couple of bookings, say you've got 10 bookings and you've got, you've noticed a very trend on where people are, et cetera. So say that you notice that there's one town or city that is getting 80% of your bookings, then what you could do is you can focus on the area. And if they don't spend time on social media though, what are they reading? So maybe there's a magazine, maybe there's a newspaper. Could you then contact that local press? Because press, right now, printed press are dying for people to spend money in their papers, etc. Could you advert in there? Could you do something that classifies, etc, again, try and get in their eyeline. If they're not on social media, doesn't mean it's impossible. There's loads of different ways to do it. Making said, make it stand out, don't send some up and if you are going to post them up in there, don't do in a boring white envelope, do it in a nice colourful something that makes you want to open it. It's the same as anything, just like on social media. Make it stand out, make it stand out amongst all those bills, which is really important.
One thing to add to what Mark said was, you know, if you do approach local magazines, they're looking for writers. So if you can do a writer and get something in there, you know, that will really help. And again, it's not. Not really about you. It's about your local area, if that makes sense. So, you know, it depends on what they're wanting from you. If it is an advertorial, then of course it is about you. But if it's something about the local area, that's something that you could probably use as well.
