Chicago Tours, come along (the process)

[BellaPippin]

Look at me creating an execution post.....I'd really like it if this one worked. But I want to share it because I want all your suggestions/feedback so that it does work. And if it doesn't well, you know what NOT to do.

Remember the exchange students? Okay, here's the take #1000th on what to sell them. Yesterday in an impulse I half-baked an idea and I'm pulling that Noah Kagan thing of ("OH LEt'S just SHaRe IT aroUNd tO A cOUPLE frIends" --> ??? --->profit)

I've arranged a weekend getaway to Chicago where I hand you everything you need to have and know for a cool getaway without the trouble of booking/researching places/following tour guide people etc. Only for this niche.

I posted the following (with some nice images) to my 3k followers FB page, boosted the ad for a week, and made an Insta with the same post and hashtagged the shit out of it (amazing marketing strategy, I know):

~ FALL GETAWAY TO CHICAGO ~ $800
**EVERY WEEKEND IN NOVEMBER, FRIDAY TO SUNDAY** Groups of 2 and 4 (AU PAIRS ONLY)
Put together by me, ex AuPair living here for 6+ years.

Includes:
-Flight
-Downtown Accommodation
-Public Transportation Weekend Pass + Guide
-City/Lake Cruise Tour
-Admission to 1 museum of choice
-One ride on Chicago’s Ferris Wheel
-All planned so you make the most of the stay

For the price of the first two only ‍
DM me for details spots are going fast!

I've asked my friends to like the post. (Not share because none of their circles is target)


My math is as follows:

Round-Trip flight to Chicago from a few cities: $300ish tops
Hotel (more on this below): $200ish a night (goal)
CTA Weekend Pass: $20
Boat Tour: $40
Admission to 1 Museum of Choice: $25 (cheaper online)
One ride on the Navy Pier Ferris Wheel: $18 ($16 buying online)

Total: Let's say $650 in costs ...

I put it for $800. I looked for vacay packages from different states and I only found flight and hotel starting at $750.


If I get enough orders I'll go to this cute downtown hostel I picked and try to cut a deal/make a partnership. Also set up a Shopify for secure payments, and make a dummy-proof small printed guide for better experience as time approaches to give with the admission tickets.

If I don't get anything or can't make the numbers work I can say it's sold out.

Now we wait....

Throw me everything you've got, I need this.
