Amish Acres and Convention Bureau enter Marketing Partnership

A new marketing partnership between Amish Acres and the Elkhart County Convention and Visitors Bureau will be launched on April 5th. The campaign will cover twenty nine weeks and nearly one million email-blasts will be sent through the Chicago Tribune to opt-in addresses in Chicago and its suburbs. The concise ads will feature Northern Indiana Amish Country and promote the CVB's award winning Quilt Gardens along the Heritage Trail and Amish Acres $99 Overnight Getaway Package.

"The Tribune's ability to target the demographics of the recipients who are most likely to be interested in our experiences make this an excellent advertising campaign," said Janis Logsdon, Director of Advertising, Sales and Leisure Marketing for the Bureau.

"Partnering with the CVB we are able to double the exposure to all there is to experience in Northern Indiana Amish Country," said Richard Pletcher, Founder and CEO of Amish Acres, "Chicago is our biggest market and close enough to be appealing to many who want a short getaway throughout this coming summer season." Amish Acres Historic Farm & Heritage Resort was created from the farm's last Amish owner 50 years ago this year. It is now listed in The National Register of Historic Places. The attraction features guided tours, horse drawn rides, domestic crafts, family style restaurant, wine tasting room, live musical theatre, shopping and lodging on the preserved and restored 80 acre farm.
