Apparently, marketers at Vail Resorts are drawing straws to see who gets to nab a flock of fans each month. Last month, Vail posted growth of over 11,000 fans (22% increase). This month, Beaver Creek grew by over 9,000, a 61.5% jump. Not sure if they are pushing social media to their email lists, buying ads to promote their pages or something entirely different, but whatever they are doing…it’s working. Here’s all the details from the last month of Facebook shenanigans and the Top 25 Ski Resorts on Facebook list.
