Attendance Estimate
3 Town of Vail | CSE | 12/07/2016
•How would you impact attendance next year?

a significant/youthful live music component
•We’re ramping the cash purse back up to
$25,000
•We’re also renewing our contract with USA
Cycling to make our competitive events
USAC’s Rocky Mountain Regional
Championships.
Visitor Type
4 Town of Vail | CSE | 12/07/2016
•Was this the visitor type split you expected? YES
•Why or why not? Please explain. UNTIL THE EVENT FIRMLY ESTABLISHES
ITSELF IT WILL DRAW A REGIONAL AUDIENCE.
•What steps would you take to optimize visitor mix? INCREASING THE PURSE
WILL HAVE AN EFFECT AS WILL EXPANDING THE PROMOTIONAL WINDOW.
Overall Visitor Profile
5 Town of Vail | CSE | 12/07/2016
•Who was your anticipated target
demographic? $75K+ AHI, 25-45
•Did you reach your target
demographic? YEAH!
•Why or why not? Right
products/brands/price/promotion.
•What would you change to reach
that audience next year? Nothing –
we’re on the right track here when
held up to overarching goals.
Overnight Visitor Profile: Overnight Visitors & Seasonal Residents Only
Only
6 Town of Vail | CSE | 12/07/2016
•What measures did you take to
incentivize attendees to book
lodging in the Town of Vail?
•We partnered with Antlers
and Vail Resorts to offer a
variety of lodging options for
attendees, then promoted
via email marketing, web and
digital channels.
Role/Importance of Event in Intent to Visit Vail
7 Town of Vail | CSE | 12/07/2016
•What actions did you take this year to generate the number of overnight guests?
Strategic partnerships with lodging partners, maximum programming elements,
promotion of partners through multiple channels.
•How would you increase the number of overnight Vail guests coming for the event
next year? We’re BIGGERING the event (and moving it to a more desirable
weekend (from the lodging community’s point of view.)
NPS (Net Promoter Score)/Likelihood to Recommend
8 Town of Vail | CSE | 12/07/2016
•Do you think the NPS scores reflect the attendee event experience? Somewhat. I think
that one group of stakeholders (attending brands and USA Cycling) are
underrepresented.
•What steps would you take to improve the NPS scores for your event next year? Use
the feedback provided to tactically improve operations. And maybe send the Kona
rep a note letting him know that people were expecting him.
Estimated Return on Investment (ROI) & Attendee Expenditures
9 Town of Vail | CSE | 12/07/2016
•What did your event do to encourage
spending in Vail? Listed out and
promoted local restaurants, actively
promoted concurrent events
(farmer’s market, Oktoberfest),
encouraged attendees to book
locally.
Vail Brand Compatibility
The Premier International Mountain Resort Community
10 Town of Vail | CSE | 12/07/2016
The event met the standard of excellence by:
•Negotiating its status as a regional championship event for XC and Enduro.
National Championships are definitely on the table in the near furture.
•Expanding the demo by 45%. In year two we’re outgrowing the venue and
looking for more space to accommodate increased industry and consumer
interest.
•Receiving a unanimous thumbs-up from Vail Resorts’ operational group.
Event Strengths & Weaknesses
11 Town of Vail | CSE | 12/07/2016
•Exceeded expectations in these ways: Demo participation is on the rise!
We also fielded multiple inquiries from brand’s wishing to attend in 2017.
•Measures that could be taken for event improvement: Alter race start
times (although operationally this is hard). Create more/better signage to
direct people throughout and to the venue. We’re also seeing traction
and interest on the sponsorship/partnership front.
•For repeat event, comparison to past years: Bigger! More organized!
Better awards! Consolidated venue! Awesomer! The bike industry has
moved from “What is this?” to “We’re planning on this for sure next year
and skipping Interbike.” That’s a HUGE win for a 2nd year event.
Community Contribution
12 Town of Vail | CSE | 12/07/2016
•Describe how the event impacted Vail’s sense of community:
•Outlier took significant steps towards establishing itself as the wholly
owned (locally and by ToV ) and most significant MTB event in the
valley.
•All town and resort employees were provided with deep discounts
for festival passes and event entries.
•All bike retail locations were issued multiple free festival passes, VIP
access, lift tickets and competitive event entries.
•We ran a safe, well organized and nice looking event and were not
poops to anybody while doing it.
Topline Marketing Efforts
13 Town of Vail | CSE | 12/07/2016
•Growing list of media attendees.
•Digital advertising in multiple vertical and active outdoor outlets.
•Extensive social media advertising (Facebook, Twitter) as well as
organic content.
•Local and regional poster campaign (Vail Valley, Aspen, Summit,
Steamboat, Boulder, Fort Collins, CO Springs, Denver, Golden.)
•Extensive email marketing (1750 media members, 16,000 riders, 1500
brand and industry.)
Potential for Growth & Sponsorships/Media Exposure
14 Town of Vail | CSE | 12/07/2016
•The later date allows more media to attend. Underwriting lodging will
help draw more media as well the increased level of competition.
•Bundling the event with our other premier event (Breck Epic) and
parceling out promotional inventory between them has begun to
produce results.
•Getting the word out earlier and faster – USA Cycling is on board to
help with this.
•Opening registration earlier. This will be done by EOY.
•Offering MORE programming for kids and a super-fun multi-day
musical component!
Sustainability Efforts
15 Town of Vail | CSE | 12/07/2016
•It’s a 100% human-powered event, so we’re kind of born on third base there.
•We WERE diligent about trash and recycling.
•We work in a digital environment whenever possible and eliminate as much
paper as we can.
The Town of Vail is committed to the stewardship and protection of our unique mountain environment. In consideration of both
our local and global impacts and opportunities, our environmental vision is to demonstrate and promote: renewable energy,
resource efficiency, ecosystem protection, and community awareness and education.
