Supporting the entertainment and leisure industry with audience insights and advertising solutions, allowing you to understand your target audience and increase your customer base.

Recent research from Mintel has shown that UK consumers are in pursuit of more experience-led activities. With concerts, theatres and other live music events seeing a real rise in ticket demand in the last few years.  

UK households are actively seeking out more local and national leisure activities as a family and with friends. More physical activities have seen a rise such as trampoline parks and assault courses. Group activities like tenpin bowling are back in fashion with operators improving their locations and creating a more general appeal, with improved food choices and additional activities to keep you on-site, such as live music and karaoke.

The future of the UK leisure market is predicted to be in great shape, with Brits forecast to spend an eye-watering £141 billion on entertainment and leisure by 2022.

With UK adults taking an average of 3.4 holidays a year in 2018, what to do and where to go on holiday has become more diverse in choice and value. With a rise in technology, emerging organisations such as Airbnb and comparison sites, the UK population has never had so many new ways to find solutions to their leisure needs.

Advertising Services from Whistl

As a tangible channel, advertising services such as door drop media can be used to build trust, reminding and reassuring your previous customer base of the great services they have previously used or received. With advertising mail and doordrop media, your business also has the ability to create stronger promotional messages, acquire new visitors or customers and in-turn successfully growing your profitability and consumer base.

Door drop media is a highly-targeted solution, which your entertainment and leisure business can take advantage of. With items delivered directly into the home, your message is likely to create a stronger connection to your target audience, in-turn better influencing their decision-making process and brand loyalty.
