Promotion built around place and timing

Valley Times helps tourism brands reach people who are already interested in Drumheller, the badlands, local attractions, and seasonal experiences through timely local visibility and story-friendly promotion.

  • Tourism marketing works best when it feels specific to season, place, and visitor intent.
  • Local media can support both visitors planning ahead and residents sharing recommendations.
  • Storytelling and timely reminders often work better together than either alone.
Lead with the experience

Tourism campaigns need to show what the visitor gets, not just name the attraction.

Match the message to the season

The reasons people visit shift throughout the year, so the marketing should shift too.

Use a mix of content and placement

Listings, sponsored features, digital placements, and local guides all help in different ways.
