What do you really type into Google when you start looking for a ski holiday?

If that's a serious question, I don't think anyone on here ever would!

Decide where to go first, then visit igluski website first, before also looking at crystal, inghams and neilsons websites.

There's a few smaller operators whose sites ill use if they go to certain resorts.

I tend to get the info I want from the WTSS book.

Ask someone who's been where we want to go, ie ask a question on here.
I'm not particularly interested in resort websites as they are only going to give one side. Other that factual info.
Other than that look for what is available from a TO I trust.

*if* this post is help you decide what "key words" to choose for your website's marketing (i.e. for google search (adwords)) then why not use google's FREE analytics tool, that will tell you the rankings for all searched words and how much you'll need to bid to get 1st page rankings.

(my apologies if I have misunderstood the reason for your question)

Smartski...you are absolutely on the nail! That is the exact reason for posting the question. I have spent a lot of time using the Google Keywords. However, I thought asking the question here would be an interesting 'real' way of finding out how skiers arrive at their conclusions!

Please read the Forum Rules below before posting further.

If you want to advertise your business, then do so (the link is below) but the forum is not the place for that.

I don't think it's advertising, just a marketing research:) Like when you want to advertise online you want to ensure that the words used are those that are commonly used in searches.

Agreed for the most part, but the post I removed was very specific and crossed the line.

...back on topic (in a generic, not-advertising sense... :lol: )

OK, OK! My error, I am genuinely trying to discover how to, where to, who to sell my new ski product too and test our theories against reality and my request had this sole objective.

Admin - how best do I gain market information using the J2ski forum?

Thanks, Tim

Why should Admin provide you with a free facility for doing this?

J2ski is a biz, and quite a busy one too.

Maybe they shouldnt? I simply asked the question, which was the right thing to do?

I can't speak for other J2skiers, personally I don't post here in order for my ideas/thoughts to be harvested by an outside organisation which is undertaking market research on a commercial basis.

It doesn't come across as very professional, I wouldn't want to book a holiday through a company like that.

Thanks for the thoughts. I take them on board.

I'd imagine skiers would be a good target audience...

You don't. That's not what it's for, and I think the answers you've had above are self-explanatory.
