Strong solidarity between city and region: campaign Dein MünsterLand Moment #dasguteleben

Joint advertising strategy of Münsterland e.V., Münster Marketing and ISI Münster.

The Corona crisis hit and still hits the leisure and tourism industry particularly hard. After the first easing measures in summer 2020, this sector therefore became a particular focus of Münsterland e.V.: In a joint effort with Münster Marketing and the Strong Inner City Münster initiative, the regional management organisation launched a campaign under the title"Your MünsterLand Moment #dasguteleben" to revive tourism and whet the appetite of tourists, day visitors and locals for THE GOOD LIFE in the city and the region. The campaign ran again in 2021 and 2022 and encouraged excursions in the region.

Inspirations online and in magazine form

Ideas for beautiful moments in the city and in the countryside were presented online at www.DeinMünsterLandMoment.de and in magazine form - with meaningful images and motivating texts. The campaign showed what the region has to offer in terms of highlights, natural beauty and hidden treasures and how best to combine them: from dreamy moated castles to cultural treasures behind monastery walls to farm shops with regional products.

Activities, accommodation, shopping tips, excursion destinations and culinary recommendations were bundled into very specific tour tips. Guests could filter the offers on www.DeinMünsterLandMoment.de according to interests such as shopping, nature, culinary, culture or activities and the duration of their stay and then find the right offer: no matter whether it was a tour on an e-bike or shopping and a visit to a museum that were in the foreground - no matter whether one was planning a day trip, a weekend or had longer time.

Broad marketing

The holiday ideas were tailored to specific target groups: for families or for couples, groups or friends. Sometimes they went to the weekly market in Münster or to a Michelin-starred restaurant, sometimes on a cycling tour or a horseback ride, sometimes to a museum or a guided tour of the city. Not only were special sights of the region visited, such as the Prinzipalmarkt in Münster or Haus Marck in Tecklenburg, but also exciting insider tips, such as a visit to the flamingos or an overnight stay in a tepee.

The central campaign website was continuously filled with new content and marketed to all relevant target groups, both digitally and analogue. In addition to the people in Münsterland, it also addressed people in neighbouring regions such as the Ruhr or the Rhineland and also radiated beyond the state borders into other federal states such as Lower Saxony, Hamburg, Bremen or Hesse.
