Campground Owners of New York announce marketing award winners during banquet

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Pittsford, New York, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) December 5, 2011 -- Niagara Falls, New York – Campground Owners of New York (CONY), a trade association for privately owned campgrounds, honored three member campgrounds with marketing awards at the association’s awards banquet held during its 48th Annual Exposition for the Outdoor Hospitality Industry, at the Conference & Event Center at Niagara Falls, New York, November 5, 2011.

Awards were announced for the following categories: Website design; simple brochure, and mailer piece. A panel of independent judges from other states campground associations reviewed all submissions and picked the winners for each category.

The judges created criteria for judging each marketing product. The criteria included ease of use, photo quality, useful information and other product specific categories, with each category rated 1 through 5, lowest to highest. Highest cumulative scores determined the winner for each category.

According to Donald Bennett, Jr., President and CEO of CONY, campground owners are working hard to educate themselves and be aware of the trends in marketing and design.

Bennett remarked, “In addition to making improvements to their parks, each year I notice more campground owners making an added investment in the quality of their marketing pieces, such as their websites and brochures. I believe these increased efforts to showcase their campgrounds are paying off for our members, and I think our three winners this year set a great example for quality marketing pieces.”
