The major  promotional project for  the Vermont
        Campground Association leading into its members’
        2022 season has been a new four-color brochure
        that  is replacing the larger directories  that  were
        printed annually until recently. When the pandem-
        ic cancelled camping shows and closed down the
        Vermont tourist information centers in 2020, the
        production expense and advertising support could
        no longer support the conventional guide book for-
        mat.

        The new brochure, with an attractive cover design,
        fits into standard literature display racks and lists
        every  current member campground, with each
        park’s name address, phone number, website URL,
        season open dates, a descriptive paragraph of text,
        and a representative photo.  The directory also in-
        cludes a map of the state of Vermont, divided into
        its three tourism regions and showing the locations
        of member parks, as well as over a dozen photos
        of  member  campgrounds and popular statewide
        attractions. It also includes links  to the associa-
        tion’s website at CampVermont.com, where users
        can  obtain more  information  on  each  member
        campground, along with additional vacation plan-
        ning resources.

        The brochure was designed and printed by Pelland
        Advertising and is based upon a similar brochure
        that the company produced earlier this year for the
        Maryland Association of Campgrounds. In times of
        fiscal challenges, it is sometimes necessary to find
        newer, more cost-effective ways to meet marketing
        objectives, and it is hoped that this new brochure
        will be well-received by the camping public and will
        drive new business to VCA members.
