You must provide the evidence utilized in determining your projections. Response 2.1: 1. Away fromtheir place of residence or business and staying overnight in paid accorrnodations: Projection* We project 442 person -nights. Assuming on average 2.5 persons per room, that would be approAmately 176 room -nights. 2500 character limit Response 2.1: Our projections for the 2019 year are derived from the relationship between the Evidence * requested additional dollars of advertising ($6300) and the resultant visitors per dollar of additional advertising. We used the visitors/dollar of advertising averaged across the last four years that we advertised broadly (2010-2013), rather than advertising specific events, as we did from 2014 to 2017. The resulting average value is 2.34 visitors per dollar of ads.. The calculations are presented in Table Below. TABLE 3: Calculation of Visitor/Advertising Relationship 2010 2011 2012 2013 Annual Total Visits 3725 4320 5098 7315 Advert Budget $ 1384 2888 2074 2575 Visits/$ Advert 2.69 1.50 2.45 2.73 2.34 Row Avg To err on the safe side, we use only 1/3 of that 2.34 relationship. Therefore, if we are to increase our marketing by $6300, we estimate that this will increase our visitations by: $6300 X 2.34 X 1/3= 4914 Total Additional Visitors. Next, we also used the logbooks' and surveys' values of 18% of total visitors who noted that they did stay overnight. Unfortunately, we did not query as to whether these guests stayed at paid accommodations or with local families. Therefore we assumed that 1/2th of the 18% overnighters were in paid lodging. Therefore, 18% of the total 4914 additional visitors, or 884 stayed overnight. And 1/2 of the overnighters, or 442 would pay for lodgings. A little more than 1 person/day. 2500 character limit Response 2.2: 25b a place fifty rriles or m re aw ay fromtheir place of residence or business for the day or staying overnight; Projection* We project 2307 persons. 2500 character lirrit Response 2.2: According to the ZIP Codes listed in our visitor logs, as approximately confirmed by Evidence* Zip Codes of attendees at our Antiques Show, 55% of our visitors came from more than 50 miles away. Therefore: 55% of 4914 (new visitors) = 2307 new visitors from more than 50 miles away.
