4. Where did you spend your marketing dollars? Marketing dollars were spent on social media targeting throughout Oregon and Northern California, with print/radio/tv marketing targeted primarily throughout Southern Oregon and Northern California from Roseburg down to Sacramento. Our event website and submission site are available for worldwide viewing. 5. What part of your marketing efforts were most successful and least successful? For infrastructure projects, what parts of your project were most successful and least successful? Based on attendee feedback, facebook awareness was our top marketing tool, followed by radio and newspapers...though via articles, not ads. Trailers in theaters and posters at the theater also got notice. Expansion of the festival to include films throughout the state of Oregon increased interest, and brought more filmmakers and regular attendees from out of town, tripled overnight stays, and brought attention to Klamath itself with positive impressions from out of towners. Based on several Travel Oregon sponsored reports (Runyan, Longwoods, and UofO/Governor's office) our attendance likely brought at least $20,000 into the local economy, in addition to $15,000 we spent on local goods/services for the event. Most other modes of advertising seemed to take a distant second with every-door-direct-mail having little impact compared to the cost. However, the ability to blanket several avenues of advertising this year enabled us to put together a complete picture to compare and locate what is most effective for us, which we expect to drive our marketing more efficiently in the future. Lastly, our ticketing system was our weakest link for several reasons, which we figure held some of our attendance down, and will be addressed in the future. Word of mouth remains a primary vehicle for us. Everyone we spoke to at the event raved about it. We aim to take increased advantage of our growing reputation to help drive our audience, which saw a 40% increase in ticket sales this year, with 30% of attendees coming from outside Klamath County. Event Applicants Only: 6. How many people from out-of-county attended? Approximately 60 people attended from out-of-county, included 4% of our audience being from out of state. 7. How did you determine how many people from out-of-county attended? Explain why this is an accurate measurement of the out-of-county attendees. Our ticketing system gathered zip codes from attendees, though a small percentage refused to give their actual zip code when purchasing at the event, thus our approximation. The 60 we list above are absolutely accounted for. Another 8-10 did not give their info. 8. How many extra days did your visitors stay in the area? We did not capture data for extra days beyond our 2 ½ day film festival, though we had approximately 30 overnights during the festival, which is triple our overnights from last year. 9. How did you determine how many extra days your visitors stayed? Explain why this is an accurate measurement of the extra days. Again, we only tracked days stayed during the festival. This data was a combination of polling attendees during their ticket purchase and corroborating with our lodging partners. By signing this you are agreeing that you have paid all bills accrued through this process; as well as agreeing that the Logo Usage Agreement is now terminated.
