Yesterday I talked about Snowbasin’s pre-roll ads, today I want to look at Snowbasin’s.

This fall I’ve seen at least two slight variations of a season pass promotional spot. Each is 20 seconds in length.

Once again, there are three things I’m digging with these ads.

Not Just Video
The first thing you should know is that these ads are part of a larger package of creative that has been following me around this fall and done a great job of reminding me about deadline while looking extremely sharp along the way.

Consistency
But that breadth of touchpoints means nothing if there’s not a really high level of consistency between the pieces. I’ve been really impressed how the simple elements like the yellow underline, white text, blue-heavy photography, etc. have made it easy for my brain to connect all these pieces as different parts of the same thing even when the display ad shapes and sizes varied (as a bit of a crutch, sometimes I’ll try to keep my consistency between ads by just sticking to 2-3 similar sizes).

It’s almost here. With the arrival of September and cooler weather, Opening Day is now just 85 days away!

Save on your season pass through Labor Day. Prices increase on Sept. 9. https://t.co/VMDyP3FT2V pic.twitter.com/z8pY34ke0g

No Voiceover
I was surprised how much I liked the lack of voiceover. My default is to think that you need a baby smooth voice to narrate the ad, but this was nice proof that you can have a great looking, effective ad without it. Could it help? Maybe. But could it hurt? Definitely. Sometimes an overly dramatic or low-quality audio track hurts more than it helps.

A Few of Many
And it sounds like I’ve just seen the tip of the iceberg on this one.

We worked with @coop_rario & Atmos Creative Group to build our campaign for season pass sales through Labor Day.

With over 80 pieces of creative and new animation, we're running one of our most optimized strategies yet. Can't wait to see the results! https://t.co/e2FmCC2kh3

Always fun as a marketer to find yourself in the market a campaign like this is targeted for. Nice work, Snowbasin team.

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.
