The advertising is expected to cover 8 states and their primary .cities. The ad themselves will depict the resort town of Vail as a sumtner destination. The martial artist and his family will be the specific sector of population targeted. The promotion is a weekend of martial arts with legendary martial artists and coaches in the world-renowned resort town of Vail. Discounted accommodations and activities are sub-text throughout the campaign. The campaign will focus on: Vail as a summer getaway, Vail's Annual Festival of Martial Arts weekend (famous coaches, private teaching, trade show, action film premiere, welcoming party, famous competitors), discount accommodations and discount packages for summer activities. The Festival weekend is to be centered in Vail and organized for maximum exposure/time with the legendary coaches and competitors. The attendees will mingle on Friday night at the welcoming party, practice Saturday at the seminars and clinics, entertain themselves Saturday night with a martial art film premier, and compete in the open style tournament on Sunday. An information guide listing "activities around town" with family packages and discount incentives will be given to all attendees. Vail's Annual Festival of Martial Arts marketing will focus outside the local area of Vail - primarily the surrounding cities and states. Marketing media will include but not be limited to: newspaper, trade magazines, radio, direct mail, and Internet. Direct Mail - direct mail will communicate to over 200 martial art schools in the local region. Twenty-five affiliated martial art schools are located in 6 bordering states. The affiliated schools in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Albuquerque, Denver, and Orlando create an oYY.,.iunity to market Vail's Annual Festival of Martial Arts to approximately 6,000 people who already know our location, know our reputation, and know our professionalism. Another 180 schools in the region will receive information through direct mail. Trade Magazines - One-page ads will be placed in four leading martial art trade magazines, including Black Belt Magazine and Grappling Magazine. The trade magazines provide instant exposure to the worldwide martial art community. These ads will sell the famous destination of Vail with the internationally recognized names of our guest speakers and coaches. Newspaper - One-page ads will be placed in Colorado state newspapers. Print and radio ads in Denver and the surrounding area will generate martial art family attendance. A weekend festival with discount accommodations and activities will transcend the "day trip" into an annual family weekend. Radio - 30-second promos will run on statewide radio. Vail's Annual Festival of Martial Arts with famous guest speakers, a consumer show, a welcoming party, an action film premiere and an open style martial art tournament is reason for a two hour drive - and once here, discount accommodations and discounted extracurricular activities invite the guests to stay.

The sport of martial arts will generate sponsorship from product suppliers such as: Century, Golden tiger, Fairtex, Tapout, Swain Mats, Revgear, Macho, Zebra mats, Combat Sports, Body Armour and many other martial sport manufacturers. The lifestyle genre of martial arts will provide sponsorship from leading trade magazines and federations that have long since promoted the martial arts as a way of life - Grappling Magazine, Black Belt Magazine, Martial Art Professional, Taekwondo Times, World United Martial Arts Organization, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Association, AAU, Gracie Baja etc. Trade businesses such as martial art specific insurance, bookkeeping/collections, staff development, sales, certification courses and software manufactures require the networking and stature building that sponsorship provides. Fashionably conscience companies interested in cross marketing will provide sponsorship opportunities. Companies such as: Monster Energy Drinks, Power Bar, GNC, Adidas, Gatorade, etc. Potential corporate sponsorships will include phone companies, banks, mortgage companies, real estate, food chains, etc. Local companies who provided sponsorship with us in the past have been MGM Cleaning, Sandbar, Moe's BBQ, GNC, Holiday Inn, Simba Run, Vail Realty, Silverthome Motors, Alpine Insurance, Pazzos, Vail Daily, Vail Trail, KZRY, Army etc. Media potential - The working partnership that currently exists between Fox Rocky Mountain Sports Network and the Directors of this event make for excellent potential for media exposure. In summary, there is a great potential for local, state and countrywide sponsorship. The grand scope of martial arts - it is considered to be so many things - self-defense, sport, lifestyle, wellness, tradition, family activity, individual activity, fashionable, male/female, young and old - make this event logical for a wide variety of interested sponsors. 7, Vail's Annual Festival of Martial Arts Marketing Plan 7/5/06 Vail's Annual Festival of Martial Arts Projected Demographics Projected attendance in terms of.
