Hastings Hotels: How advertising attracted golfing tourists back to the province after 30 years
This case demonstrates how a radical marketing strategy, coupled with intelligent media solutions contributed a significant short term profit and a valuable database for future direct marketing activity. Hastings Hotels tapped into a niche opportunity of golf coverage of the Senior British Open on Sky Sports to attract cash rich golfers to their Slieve Donard hotel.
