Major Television, Radio and Print Winter Campaign
EMT‘s major Winter Campaign that is targeting Melbourne Metro with an overlap into key regional markets in Victoria will end tomorrow.
The purpose of this campaign was to drive business to the region during the traditionally quieter months.
The campaign included a ‘Stay 3, pay 2’ offering which commenced in the market early July and saw television advertisements across commercial stations regionally, 3AW radio in Melbourne and half page advertisements in the Bendigo Advertiser to create traffic in weekend and short getaway markets.
Thank you to all our 26 accommodation operators who participated in this joint effort.
We will share the results of this campaign in the next edition.
Cellar Door Farm Gate
The Melbourne Food and Wine Festival is the premier food, wine and produce event in Australia.
The ‘’Cellar Door & Farm Gate’’ event is a component of the overall Melbourne Food & Wine Festival. It is an outdoor spectacular held on the banks of the Yarra River in Melbourne and is designed to showcase Victorian food, wine and produce interests to consumers, industry and media.
EMT participated in this exciting opportunity last year in partnership with several regional producers and the response was very encouraging. As such, we will be participating in this show again in 2012.
We now seek final expressions of interest from EMT members wishing to join with EMT and participate in this opportunity.
Please send expressions of interest to ingrid@echucamoama.com no later than 5pm 7TH September 2011.

Australian Bridal Expo
EMT attended the Australian Bridal Exhibition on the 20th and 21st of August at the Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne.
The show was well attended and demand for Echuca product was strong. There was considerable interest in potential Echuca Moama wedding venues and honeymoon packages.
This is a worthwhile initiative and one that we will be repeating in order to continue building and developing this very important market.
Thank you to all of our members who partnered up with EMT in this joint venture.
