VisitScotland are delighted to be working again with our new partner, Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). VisitScotland has agreed to work jointly with SNH for our Perfect Day campaign.

 

This second piece of joint activity with SNH will raise awareness of how beautiful, special and importantly how accessible National Nature Reserves (NNRs) are in Scotland.

 

The aim of this activity is to communicate that visitors are very welcome on NNRs and in the summer people can reap the physical and emotional benefits of enjoying these special places which:

  • look after the best of Scotland's nature on behalf of everyone who lives in or visits Scotland
  • provide unique opportunities to visit, enjoy and learn more about Scotland's nature
  • showcase the positive work by SNH and partner bodies to look after the country's nature

Outdoor Activity:

Four key NNRs have been selected for promotion via 48 and 6 sheet outdoor activity throughout Scotland showcasing the activities that can be undertaken at a visit to an NNR by all:

  • St Abb's Head NNR will promote bird watching with the strapline:"Forget your laptop and enjoy every single tweet. Perfect"
  • Corrie Fee NNR will promote walking with strapline:"Bring a compass and lose yourself for a day. Perfect"
  • Taynish NNR will promote photography with strapline:"Cameras poised for passing wildlife. Perfect"
  • Tentsmuir NNR will target the family (W2) market with beach adventure and strapline:"Just bring a sandwich and sense of discovery. Perfect"

Press Activity: 

Tentsmuir NNR will be promoted to our W2 families in the Daily Record 'Summer Starts Here' supplement on 16 June (pre school holidays) to encourage parents to consider a day out at the NNR.

 

Online Activity:

In addition to Tentismuir, three additional NNRs will be promoted via solus emails encouraging consumers to enter a competition to win a weekend break and an NNR experience:

  • Creag Meagaidh NNR - Win the perfect wildlife watching experience
  • Craigellachie NNR - Win the perfect lesson in nature photography with SHNs photographer
  • Tentsmuir NNR - Win the perfect wildlife watching experience
  • Flanders Moss NNR - WIn the perfect wildlife watching experience

Sales Promotional Activity:

Activity with Michelin I-SPY guides is being developed for Perfect Day activity 2011, thereby reinforcing SHNs commitment to continue working with VIsitScotland.

 

Joint Partner Page:

On the Perfect Day site there is a dedicated partner page with SNH, all activities will drive traffic to this site as well as seperate competition pages where entrants will be directed back to the partner page.

 

The partner page has specific NNR references to encourage visits during summer and will highlight relevant things to see and do during this time at key NNRs identified by SHN.
