Ways Visit Occoquan can Help Market Your Events:
NEW! Partnered Reel Marketing

 

Partner with us on a collaborated Instagram reel to help promote your upcoming event, a sale, or your business in general. These paid opportunities allow businesses to tap into our targeted local audience.

​

How it works:

​

  • Someone on the paid Visit Occoquan social media team will hold a brief 15-20 minute call to discuss your goals of the campaign, a time frame for the reel to launch, and to schedule filming time.

  • Visit will film and produce the reel, showing a draft to the business for one round of changes, before it goes live.

  • When Visit posts the reel, it will be collaborated with the business (meaning it will show up on both account feeds). There is also an option for the business to promote the post through Meta, for additional traction and views.

​

Investment: $250 covers the time and expertise of the social media person to consult, film, produce, edit, post, and manage comments on the reel. A portion of that fee also helps Visit Occoquan's general budget. Email Sarah at sarah@visitoccoquanva.com to get started.
