We expect the hard copy of Stay & Play to enjoy a readership of more than 250,000 readers with key distribu on outlets in Sydney, Central Coast, Newcastle and surrounding areas, visitor informa on centres, wine clubs, airports as well as key pick-up points within wine country. Our intent is to put Stay & Play in the hands of the right people – those planning a short break or holiday in the Hunter Valley. A monthly distribu on program will be implemented to ensure that Stay & Play is always available to be picked up from all the major pick-up points. The online (web) and electronic (digital) versions are expected to add an addi onal 150,000 unique page views per month to the readership – from all over the world!
FAQ’S
How o en will Stay & Play be published? Stay & Play will be published annually. We would hope to have it on the shelves in September this year, but we also want to make sure that everyone who wants to be included can be included... The guide will also be published in an electronic (digital) version which will be accessible to online readers anywhere in the world. Why are we launching Stay & Play? In previous years accommodators have been able to adver se in the local visitors guide - albeit bundled in with wineries and restaurants. But, the recent announcement that the visitors guide will no longer be produced in its current format (or numbers), has le many people concerned that their ability to effec vely promote their accommoda on business has been significantly impacted. WCP Media (who also publish Wine & Dine Hunter
book today
Valley and the Hunter Blackboard), are passionate about bringing visitors to the Hunter Valley and have launched Stay & Play to ensure that this con nues to happen. We also believe that a high quality guide - with a specific focus on accommoda on and which is far more effec vely distributed, will boost business for accommoda on providers in the Hunter Valley. How will Stay & Play be different from the Visitors Guide? Stay & Play will be vibrant, glossy and colourful (much like the Hunter Valley). It will be very affordable and non-prescrip ve for adver sers – meaning that you will not be limited to a “one-sizefits-all” approach….you can promote your accommoda on using a lis ng or a display format adver sement and we will endeavour to make sure that every piece of informa on you wish to include is included. How will adver sements in Stay & Play be sorted? Stay & Play will group accommoda on by accommoda on type as this is the major criteria for readers when selec ng their accommoda on. The highlight colour used in each lis ng will denote the area the accommoda on is located and map references will refer the reader back to the maps sec on for loca on. What is the difference between a display adver sement and lis ng? To help you choose the type and size of adver sement to suit your accommoda on we’ve a ached full size examples on the following pages.
