Get found by travelers before they land.
MadSpring makes video and marketing for the resorts, transfer companies, tour operators and attractions near major airports. Your business is shown to travelers inside the airport guides they watch before the trip.
MadSpring is new. The first trips are on the calendar.
A little Madness in the Spring Is wholesome even for the King.Emily Dickinson
People who work hard should take a break and have an adventure. MadSpring helps the businesses on the way there get found.
A traveler's first hour
The Find Your Way Travel guides walk a traveler from the gate to their first day. Each step is a place a local business can be shown, by name, at the moment the traveler is deciding.

What you do, and what we do

-
YouSend one email. Tell us your business and the airport you're near.
WeReply with the package that fits, a price and the next trip date.
-
YouSign a short agreement and pick a time that suits you.

YouCarry on as usual while we film.
WeFilm, edit and publish your place in the guide, with a line saying you are a paid partner.
-
YouGet your video and use it on your own site and channels.
WeDeliver your cuts two to three weeks after the trip, then send a report of views and clicks at 30 and 90 days.
What to expect back
A place in a guide pays back in three ways.
Bookings from the guide
The people watching are planning a trip through your airport. Your name and link sit at the step where they need you.
Video you keep
Every package includes cuts for your own site and social channels, made by a production company, not a phone.
A long shelf life
Travelers find these guides by searching, so a guide keeps sending people your way for as long as it is current.
How the math works
An example for a transfer company on the Arrival Partner package, in a guide that is watched 100,000 times in a year.
These are example numbers to show how the math works, not a promise. Your 30 and 90 day reports show your real ones.
| Guide views in a year | 100,000 |
|---|---|
| Viewers who click your link (2 in 100) | 2,000 |
| Clicks that become a booking (3 in 100) | 60 |
| Average booking | $100 |
| Bookings from the guide | $6,000 |
| Package cost | $1,500 to $3,500 |
The one thing not for sale
You can pay to be featured. You can't pay to change the facts. If the taxi line is slow or the walk to your desk is long, the guide says so.
Travelers trust these guides because the facts are not for sale, and that trust is what makes a place in one worth paying for. It is written into every agreement.
Who is behind it
I'm Ammon Ehrisman. I own BlueForest Studios, a video production company in the Raleigh, North Carolina area, and I film the Find Your Way Travel guides myself. I've worked in video since 2002, and in that time I've made more than 750 videos for more than 300 clients.
MadSpring is new. There is no partner work to show yet, so judge the video by BlueForest's.

Tell me which airport you're near
Send a short note with your business, the airport and what you'd like travelers to know. I'll reply with the package that fits and the next trip date. If it isn't a fit, I'll say so.
