A spectacular family vacation depends on three things – the time of year you go, where you go and where you stay. During the winter months, there is nothing like taking the family on a ski trip where an immense amount of fun is packed into ordinarily no more than a week. Ski resorts are abundant in North America and many of them have atmospheres and activities that cater to families.
At most ski resorts, there are also the standard ski resort hotels that offer very nice accommodations along with very nice prices to accompany said accommodations. However, as an alternative to cramming the entire family into a small hotel room, many families seek out vacation rentals in and around the resorts so that they can spread out and truly enjoy the week.

As I did my daily reading of blogs, news, and other industry topics I came across this amazing infographic designed to help you understand Inbound Marketing and how it can be applied to your vacation, I couldn’t help but feel like something was missed. Here at Barefoot, I personally oversee our inbound marketing plan and it has garnished some great success! We have moved to the first page of google search results, we have seen a 70% increase in contact rates and most importantly, our content has never been fresher. All of this was thanks to an inbound marketing strategy implemented here so naturally, when I saw someone made an image to help you out there do the same, I was excited to read it.

In short, yes, but let me elaborate. Last week the Barefoot team travelled to the VRMA conference in Nashville TN.
