Get social!
Being active on social media is vital to your small business. Your intentions should be to engage and build trust and brand loyalty. Meaning, promotions should constitute 20% of your social media marketing campaign; the ‘social’ aspect should make up about 80%. Your efforts should be focused on creating content that will resonate with your target audience.
One of the things I like to tell some of my clients is sell without selling! So instead of telling people how amazing your camp is & why they should send their children there, rather share an awesome picture of kids having fun at your camp. They will want the same for their children.

What’s your email?
Email marketing is a must in this ever-changing, digital world. Almost everyone has an email, and they check it. If you want to drive traffic and increase sales, email is a great start. Whatever you do, don’t spam your customers. Send newsletters, special offers, and/or coupons to peak their interest.
Start by making sure you're capturing email addresses on your site through a newsletter sign up form. You could also hold competitions etc to entice people to sign up.

But first, your website.
It’s imperative that your website is in tip-top shape; this is where it counts. According to Impact, long load time, crazy colors, your logo, layout, popups and ease of navigation can all play a factor in your visitor’s first impression of your website. You should have a mobile-friendly site with a modern, clean design.
Your visitors should know exactly who you are and what you offer the second your page loads. Get the most important info above the fold on the home page. Videos have been shown to slow down load time and people seldom watch them. Investigate & find out what your website bounce rate is. perhaps test 2 different versions of your site. One with video & one without. See in which version people spend more time on your site before leaving.
