| Thomas the Tank Engine steams ahead |
|
The Bellarine Railway recently advertised in the Herald Sun's School Holiday Ideas advertising feature to promote 'A Day out with Thomas'.
Excited parents and children jumped at the chance to ride the world's most famous tank engine train. The Bellarine Railway sales and marketing officer, Emma Everett, said: "We had an outstanding response to the Herald Sun ad and article; 194 bookings were taken from the Herald Sun advertisement alone so it's safe to say the ad paid for itself four times over. As you can imagine we are quite happy with this and would like to continue advertising in the School Holiday Ideas features".
School Holiday Ideas is published in the Herald Sun quarterly and gives parents ideas on how to entertain their children throughout the holiday season.
'A Day out with Thomas' offers train rides, a petting zoo, face painting, sculpted balloons, magician entertainment and much more.
The next School Holiday Ideas feature will be published on Wednesday, March 17, 2010.
