Pitch Letter
November 7, 2008
Dear Bryan Penttila:
According to the United States Department of Labor, real earnings for Washington and Oregon workers have decreased since 2007. The price of oil continues to fluctuate, according to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, and gas prices have reflected this trend. According to Hospitality Net’s Web site, there remains a demand for leisure travel despite the turbulent economy, but consumers are shifting their focus toward better values.
One value saving trend currently flooding the hospitality market is the staycation, or home-based vacation. Staycations take place within a relatively short distance from home, and can save a consumer money, while providing a needed escape and benefiting the local economy.
Pacific Inns, LLC, along with its affiliated properties, is proposing that Northwest Coast magazine initiate a review series of hotel properties located in the Northwest. The articles would benefit the magazine’s readers on a budget who might enjoy a staycation.
Northwest Coast magazine could explore the following in southwest Washington and northwest Oregon:
Unique hotel properties
Hotels of different qualities with varying room costs
Surrounding attractions
I would be willing to contribute as a practiced researcher on the topic and help further research as well as arrange interviews with hotel properties where appropriate.
I will call you in a week to discuss the willingness of our company to assist Northwest Coast magazine in this project. In the meantime, we are committed to accurately providing you with any information you may need.
Sincerely,
Emily Taflan
