The focus of ArtFest Fort Myers' marketing campaign is to encourage full-time residents and visitors alike to come spend a beautiful art-filled day with us downtown along the Fort Myers riverfront.
The mix of media for the marketing campaign is all encompassing with TV, radio, print, outdoor, paid social media and digital, point of sale and more. Advertising reaches art buyers in Naples, Bonita Springs, Marco Island, Sarasota, and West Palm Beach, as well as the Greater Fort Myers area.
In 2021 all aspects of the marketing campaign will promote both the in-person art festival and its virtual version ArtFest@Home.
In addition, ArtFest@Home will have a dedicated digital and social media paid advertising campaign targeting ArtFest@Home to a much wider geographic and demographic audience. (Learn more about ArtFest@Home.)
And it works! Every year attendance is record-breaking.
Attendees purchase artwork at levels that will bring the artists back and increase future artist applications -- the keys to a great art festival.
The Marketing Campaign is valued at $125,000 and creates over 7 million impressions in a 4-week period.
