2021 RGV Virtual Field Trip
Staff created an engaging Virtual Field Trip for students at four school districts in the Rio Grande Valley. The 53-minute program included Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills aligned content (state standards for what students should know in the classroom) at the Alamo, SeaWorld San Antonio, Mission San Jose, San Antonio Zoo and Six Flags Fiesta Texas. The program included activities for students, programs for teachers and student-related itineraries for parents. Campaign results include:
- 15,083 pageviews of the dedicated landing page, a reach up to 11,000 students.
- More than 2.7 million impressions from paid social media and cross-platform programmatic digital ads, as well as local reach on broadcast TV.
- More than 5,000 visitors from the targeted areas during the month of March.
- $1.5M generated.
- ROI of 39: 1 as of the end of March.
Staff will be reaching out to other drive markets to begin discussions on when we can roll out the Virtual Field Trip programming. If you have any questions or would like more information about this program, please contact franciscogallegos@visitsanantonio.com
