Longer stays
Maastricht Marketing's main objective is to extend the length of stay, focusing on promoting weekday stays among specific target groups. This is embedded in all campaigns and marketing activities, which we carry out in coordination with Stichting Samenwerkende Hotels Maastricht (SAHOT).
Remote and reload
Maastricht Marketing has been committed to encouraging weekday stays for years. At the same time, many people find it difficult to plan a city break between Monday and Thursday. Research shows that a change of scenery contributes to productivity as well as work happiness. Moreover, remote working has become the norm in more and more professions. These developments formed the basis for Remote and reload. With this new communication line, we focus on workers looking for a better work-life balance.
Cooperation with happiness psychologist Josje Smeets
A mini-work station in Maastricht combines work with nature, culture and gastronomy. Especially during the week, when the city offers space for focus as well as relaxation. In cooperation with happiness psychologist Josje Smeets, we researched how a mini-work station can contribute to happiness at work and why Maastricht is a suitable environment for this. In this way, we underpinned the campaign with relevant insights and data. The campaign was visually supported with new imagery, focusing on remote working and staying overnight in the city.
Josje wrote a blog about remote working in Maastricht. You can read this blog here.
