GWR LOCAL TRAVEL DOOR DROP

Great start

A family summer to remember begins right on your doorstep with Great Western Railway.

The brief

To increase leisure train travel over the summer holidays.

The insight

Children love freedom of train travel but parents want short, hassle-free journeys.

And Marketreach research told us that mail is revisited four times on averag, and it stays in the home for at least a week.

The solution

We created geo-targeted interactive maps, each with three places to visit by train in under 90 minutes. Each town/city itinerary included a range of sites from history and a family fun activity to food and drink.

We went further for parents – we provided super useful geo-tailored content, such as public transport info and parking costs.

And for the kids? Stickers to mark up where they’ve been. The door drop map was perfect to stick up on the fridge for the whole summer and inspire the family’s next trip with GWR.
