All updates can be made from trade login area. If you have misplaced your username and password please contact me and I can reset for you. Additions to User Guide: 2.0 User Profile Be sure to indicate which Cluster i.e. mini-destination you are in – this will ensure you appear in the new ‘Where to Go’ section 3.1 How to Submit news You can now upload news and corresponding images directly onto OutdoorNI.com – remember keep it short and simple and point the consumer to somewhere they can find out more info. All news items will be approved by CAAN marketing team and also used to feed into our PR campaigns. 3.2 How to upload a special offer – this is the 2nd most popular page on OutdoorNI.com • Please indicate which Cluster i.e. mini-destination the offer applies to – this will ensure this offer appears in the new ‘Where to Go’ section • Also indicate a FROM PRICE for your offer – there is no point creating an offer without displaying the price!! • If you already have an offer in place please ensure to go back and make the necessary updates – i.e. enter cluster/mini destination area and price 3.4 How to upload an event – this is the 3rd most popular page on OutdoorNI.com • Add a blurb for each of your events – this will appear in the events summary page o The blurb should be one line to catch the attention of the consumer to draw them towards your event to find out more info which is still contained in the description • Indicate a FROM PRICE for your event • Please indicate which Cluster i.e. mini-destination the events applies to – this will ensure this offer appears in the new ‘Where to Go’ section • If you already have an event in place please ensure to go back and make the necessary updates – i.e. add blurb, add price, enter cluster/mini destination area NEW SECTION ON OUTDOORNI.COM – ABILITY TO UPLOAD PACKAGES PACKAGES -This section will feature prominently in the new ‘Where to Go’ section. See add New Day/Short Break under offers and packages in trade log in section • The fields are self explanatory and the purpose of this section is to inspire the consumer to enquire about a tangible package. • Feedback from consumers has been that activity providers profiles are too general (i.e. they explain you can do a wide range of things) whilst events are sometimes to specific (i.e. only on a set date). It also means you don’t have to provide discount as required in a Special Offer • Packages should be a way of inspiring the consumer to enquire about a programme you can offer on a regular basis whether it is a short break or a day trip. • For example you may want to tell a family coming to Fermanagh that they can book a canoeing session or highlight to a couple coming to the Mournes that they can stay for two nights whilst taking part in three different activities. See example below: Name Mournes Adventure Break Type Short Break From Price £ 99pp Blurb Mix mad activities in the outdoors with the ease of self catering accommodation Description The Mourne Mountains are Northern Ireland’s crowning glory and an adventurers paradise. Let the surroundings inspire that sense of adventure during the day, then chill out and enjoy the atmosphere in excellent bars and restaurants at night.
