summary
For the past six years, Mexican Pacific Marketing (MPM) has provided integrated
marketing, advertising, public relations and internet campaign solutions mainly
to the Mexican hospitality industry and also to the political, industrial and service
sectors. With that, we’ve created systems that greatly reduce traditional advertising
costs while obtaining excellent results in return. We’ve had to make up the rules
as we go, testing and revising accomplishments at breakneck speed.

What this means to you is that, not only have we figured out what works in your
target market, we’ve also figured out what doesn’t work. We’ve watched our
competition, and many marketing companies in general, fall by the wayside due
to their inability to evolve their businesses to suit client needs.

MPM has taken the lead in standardizing effective promotional systems, and
what follows is a description of products and services that are quickly becoming a
standard for successful company marketing. Each concept, system and program
in this catalogue has been developed to meet these primary goals: 

Create and reinforce At great expense, your business has developed critical relationships with existing
brand identity guests and clients. A professional, well-developed brand will reinforce your
company’s identity.

Maximize income and Leveraged properly, a well-orchestrated web and e-marketing campaign will
increase revenue increase site traffic and revenue. These efforts will become a powerful sales tool
that will positively impact seasonal highs and lows.

Improve communication Through our e-marketing system, you will tap into sources that will generate traffic
with your clients and visitors to your site. You will keep in touch while increasing sales. In short,
your web site will help you to have a profitable yet affordable relationship with
your clients.

Standardize and unify operations Once a common set of underlying systems power your websites, you can stop
worrying about “how” something gets done and focus more on “what” gets done.
Data analysis (revenues, traffic, visitor profiles collected, etc.) becomes easy
when it’s all in one format and all of the variables are the same.

We are confident in that the best way to position your brand in both the national
Mexican and international markets is through an integrated media campaign,
including all of the services listed in our service offerings. This catalogue is divided
into the following sections for your analysis:

Public
RELATIONS
Our goal is to attract and keep the attention of the media, and increase the
recognition and buzz of our clients on the radar screens of the public.

The objective is achieved through direct and constant contact with mainstream
media outlets, personalized follow up and relationship building with our network
of writers and editors, and to aid in pitching creative stories that cater to each
media’s particular style and coverage, as well as organize made-to-measure
familiarization (fam) trips for the hospitality and other industries.

We are affiliated with a network of over 400 press contacts, travel writers and
editors in the US, Canada and Mexico. Direct communication with travel writers,
editors and press includes the following important points.

11

Date last updated: April 24, 2007


3.1 Services and Strategy

Create brand awareness through direct contact with media in a manner


that generates interest, coverage in their publications, and the promotion of
stories and press releases:

• One monthly press release on timely and relevant news to be written and
distributed among appropriate publications for editorial coverage in English/
Spanish (additional press releases have an extra charge).
• Follow up in the form of telephone calls and e-mails to editors and writers
with a special concentration in publications and target markets.
• Actively pursue inclusion of promotions, packages and specials in last-
minute bulletins and travel publications offering travel tips for the hospitality
industry.
• Create and maintain a minimum stock of 20 press kits in English and
Spanish with press releases, up-to-date fact sheets and destinations, copies
of media coverage.
• Press guide with story ideas, up-to-date company information and access
to published press coverage, backdated press releases, digital photos, and
information on the latest press trips.
• Independently pitch travel stories on property and surrounding area to
editors and publications.
• Respond to press inquiries (e-mail, special rate/comp requests).
• Posting story ideas and familiarization (fam) trips on several online journalist 12
newsgroups and community boards bringing PR professionals and travel
writers together (hosting press trip and identifying journalist attendee lists at
extra cost to be quoted per project)

One important thing to remember is that with PR and media placement,


overnight success is rare. Longevity and perseverance is necessary to
building recognition. With our aggressive and consistent strategy plan,
MPM has the mission of generating measurable interest in successful,
published story placements starting after the first six months of consistent
campaigning.

Database
E-MARKETING
4.1 Loyalty Club Manager (LCM)

Database marketing is an indispensable tool for the promotion of your company.


Once the Loyalty Club Management (LCM) system has been adequately imple-
mented, an effective e-mail campaign will serve as a potent sales and marketing
tool, bringing more site traffic in both high and low seasons. For hotel and vaca-
tion rental properties, this results in greater room night booking. For non-hospital-
ity clients, it results in conversion from site visitor to client.

The LCM program facilitates the development of campaigns on a local, national


or international level through e-bulletins, newsletters and campaigns focused on
national and international travel agencies, incentive planners, weddings, groups
and conventions and other specific demographic categories. Each visitor will be
converted to a member of your database as they sign up to receive information 13
about your development, either in person or through the website. The system will
be programmed to work in conjunction with your operations system to ensure that
each visitor is automatically integrated into the database.

• Build a relationship with your clients through direct and effective


communication 24/7/365
• Program your communications to coincide with important sales cycles
• Profile your best customers
• Generate an immediate return on investment (ROI) by eliminating
traditional direct mail costs
• Generate online surveys and client testimonials
• Filter your database and program targeted campaigns to specific
market segments
• Program automatic greeting cards and messages to your clients
• Focus your campaigns on those clients most likely to respond

Content and Programming

Our editors will program all your content (birthday greetings, anniversaries, return
invitations, thank-you cards, surveys and testimonials, etc.), everything you need
to get your Loyalty Database Marketing fully functional.

Date last updated: April 24, 2007


4.2 LCM Strategy

Online marketing initiatives cover a gamut of services that can be provided


to the site visitor in order to encourage a repeat visit and to convert the
visitor to a buyer of services. Developing a community membership is vital
to site sales success. Through LMC it is possible to create personalized and
mutually-beneficial relationships that bring this program to the forefront of
the overall sales strategy for the company.

Part of the LCM strategy involves developing an effective and targeted


monthly newsletter that will be of interest to consumers, containing both
information they could not obtain elsewhere as well as information that
keeps them wanting to come back. An example of such content would be
unbeatable deals, invitations to special, exclusive events, or a reward for
being a loyal customer.

Another means of enhancing the customer experience is to fully employ the


LCM resources to stay in touch, proving pre-arrival information as well as
post-stay e-mails in order to provide valuable information, obtain opinions
and satisfaction-driven criteria from clients, and, in general, keeping up
with what clients really need and not what the company may assume that
the client wants. By distributing a portion of the advertising budget to LCM
14
tools, a minimal investment can help to keep the company in tune with its
clients as well as providing the clients with unbeatable service and loyalty,
as loyalty needs to come from the company as well as from the consumer.

E-Marketing
campaign
Once your website is live and optimized web systems are implemented, your
business strategists will need to undertake a vigorous and effective e-marketing
strategy to promote its property online. Planned placement of advertising on
industry sites combined with aggressive search engine tactics, generating public
interest in the site services, producing site traffic and sales opportunities both
directly and indirectly.

According to the necessities of your website, e-marketing budgets may vary.


Included in this catalogue are proposed budgets suggested by Mexican Pacific
Marketing (MPM) to generate massive exposure for your site. After you have
approved a website e-marketing plan, we will manage it for you on a monthly fee
basis.

5.1 Search Word Sponsorship – Pay Per Click (PPC)

One of the fastest and most effective approaches to building an online


presence for a company and its site is through the inclusion of paid ads
on search engines. Numerous surveys show that the majority of internet
users today rely on search engines to locate information on the web. MPM
will provide the ultimate in search engine coverage with monthly position
maintenance. Once we develop a list of keywords relevant to your site,
we query the search engines for the top pages for that keyword. We then
determine the characteristics the pages have in common. This process is
repeated for each keyword (Google, MSN, Yahoo).

5.2 Direct Sites

An effective and well-planned placement on specific sites, combined with an


aggressive presence in search engines will attract more public interest. We
determine what your development needs and create a custom campaign
with strategies and sites selected based on your budget.

5.3 E-Mail Blasts

Reach your markets directly with direct e-mail. We can target direct
interactive promotions to your most important markets and segments. Each
e-mail blast has a specific promotion for the market in question and includes
reports for exactly how many times they are viewed by potential clients.
16

5.4 E-Marketing Management

The internet is changing daily and the resulting marketing opportunities


are changing along with it. Your company can benefit from our expertise
and experience in this area. Monthly or bi-monthly reports will track the
goals and production of the corresponding periods. With the confidence of
knowing your site is being promoted by the experts, you can focus more on
your current and potential clients.

5.5 Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Having a web site optimization strategy accomplishes the goal of creating


a fully-optimized site and improving the user experience, making the site
search-engine friendly and increasing sales through online purchases. In
addition to these improvements, web site optimization also increases con-
version rates converting from site visitor to client on a steadily improving
return on investment (ROI).
In essence, optimization of the site addresses issues such as renaming and
reorganizing images and files, creating meta-tags and meta-descriptions,
keywords that help the site be found by search engines and thus by those
looking for companies in the competitive set. By analyzing the market of
visitors to the site, the segmentation of the company’s consumers, a strat-
egy for managing online customer service matters will be greatly build trust
and confidence, will develop a loyal consumer following and will lead to
increased conversion rates.

specialized media for your potential markets.

your ads, just like a traditional ad agency.

Production and insertion of ads

Supported by our design team, we will develop illustrative and creative


ideas, based on the corporate image, which allow us to transmit emotions
and interest to the potential client which can result in a periodic increase in
sales. 24

Ad documentation – Clippings

We receive a copy of each and every one of your ads from the newspaper,
magazine, radio or other medium which we will pass on to you, allowing you
to build an accurate library of your publicity campaigns.

Development of a production calendar

Once the media are decided, we proceed with the establishment of strategic
dates (with the highest audiences) in which your message will have the
greatest impact, in those months when you need to boost sales.

(Mexican Pacific Marketing will absorb the agency commissions paid by the
publications)

7.2 Payment Strategy

We help coordinate an appropriate payment process between our clients


and suppliers. We support you in closing the circle in your negotiations with
each medium.

Date last updated: April 24, 2007

production calendar

for your operations and budget control) with precise information on:

• Which medium is to be paid


• The date of publication of the ad
• The amount due
• Banking information for the supplier (including their banking
transfer information)
• Payment due date

Control of invoicing and payments to media

We receive the invoice from each ad published via e-mail, and then re-
transmit to you for processing while waiting for the supplier to send the
original. This process will ensure that the invoice is paid within the appropriate
fiscal month, thus avoiding any imbalance in your fiscal records.

PHOTOGRAPHY
We understand what sells to the audience your company is trying to reach, and
thus we can get the best out of a professional photo shoot by implementing a
“marketing eye” to art direction. We know what companies are looking for in an
image and since we specialize in bringing attention to the best side of a company,
we make sure our photography showcases and emphasizes the visual highlights
and selling points for your company.

Our photography services provide clean and easy-to-market photography that


captures the essence of you company, allowing proper marketing to the company’s
various target markets.

Virtual
TOURS
A virtual tour (or virtual reality tour) is virtual reality simulation of an actually existing
location, usually comprising 2D panoramic images, a sequence of hyperlinked still
or video images, and/or image-based models of the real location, as well as other
multimedia elements such as sound effects, music, narration, and text. A virtual
tour is accessed on a personal computer (typically over the internet). It does not
require travel, but ideally, virtual tour viewing evokes an experience of moving
through the represented space.

Virtual Tours have changed the way properties are presented on the internet.
Clients can check every detail of the property as well as each room of it without
ever leaving their home. Virtual tours present the advantage of viewing a 360-
degree panorama of any location.
