Aspen has been riding the Mind Body Spirit tagline for a few years now.

At a time where brands jump from catchphrase to catchphrase on what feels like an annual schedule, I love the consistency.

But I also love the way they’ve packaged the message within that message this time around.

One
The idea is simply this: one. So:

One: Mind Body Spirit

Travel marketing is very much the business of planting as many seeds as possible in a way that branding and follow-up messaging helps them grow.

But resort marketing i nparticular adds in a unique element of time. Meaning, the experience-seeds we plant aren’t one size fits all, they’re as diverse as a ski bum tallying 120 days and a wealthy family staying slope side for week or someone driving a couple hours for a day of skiing.

Content Structure
Which is exactly what I love this year’s Mind Body Spirit format.

As marketers we try really hard to segment our guests into these homogenous groups, but rarely (if ever) have I seen it done so elegantly as simply grouping messages by the duration of a single resort experience.

• Everyone: run
• Weekend warriors: day
• Destination travelers: week
• Local skiers: season

It’s so simple but also extremely effective and naturally segments viewers by aligning the content title with the experience they’d dream of having.

Seeds planted in the right soil now with a marketing plan in place to give them what they need ll season long to eventually blossom into future bookings and experiences.

Good stuff.

About Gregg & SlopeFillers
I've had more first-time visitors lately, so adding a quick "about" section. I started SlopeFillers in 2010 with the simple goal of sharing great resort marketing strategies. Today I run marketing for resort ecommerce and CRM provider Inntopia, my home mountain is the lovely Nordic Valley, and my favorite marketing campaign remains the Ski Utah TV show that sold me on skiing as a kid in the 90s.
