The South Australian Shorts book, produced for the intrastate
market, offers consumers a comprehensive range of South
Australian experiences, made up of packages with value-add
components built around accommodation, tours, houseboats
and hire cars.

Fax: (08) 8379 9735
The book also provides an editorial overview of each region,
including a regional map, comprehensive ‘must see, must do’
information and dining suggestions, as well as a listing of key
South Australian events and Visitor Information Centres.
About South Australian Shorts
The South Australian Tourism Commission has been positioning
the Shorts program as an ‘activation’ brand across all areas of
our intrastate marketing activity. This was extremely successful
in the market re-launch of Shorts as a South Australian holiday
retail brand, rather than just a publication.
• Full page entry that showcases one package/product
• Full page entry that showcases one operator’s
two packages/products
• Double page spread to showcase one package/product
per spread
The Shorts book is an essential tool at the beginning of
a potential traveller’s purchase cycle and our marketing
strategy aims to build on that. We plan to release Shorts
sale catalogues on a seasonal basis, based around optional
operator participation.
• Double page spread to showcase one operator’s two
packages/products per spread
• Double page spread to showcase one operator’s three
packages/products
Research has shown us that showcasing special offers
instantly triggers a consumer’s interest and prompts
a search of the program, either by book or online.
1/3rd page ads
The South Australian Shorts book is A5 in size, offering three
standard operator entries per page. Building on the success
in 2012/13, we will again also be offering full page and double
page options. Participation options for 2013/14 are:
• Standard entry (1/3 page)
The role of the Shorts brand and book has been recently
reviewed in light of certain changes, including the Holidays
of Australia preferred agent arrangement coming to an end
as of 31 March 2013. This means visitors will be encouraged
to book direct – saving you commission.
