30 Success story: the Trapp Family Lodge How the Sound of Music family used social media to grow their business When luxury travel took a hit in the midst of the recession, Vermont's Trapp Family Lodge rethought their digital and social marketing strategy, capitalized on the renowned family name, and continued to reap the benefits. Targeted Facebook Ads Use of blog, Twitter and Facebook Shared personal stories through e Newsletters and blog posts Hired a full time social media manager At first the family was not sure if social media was the best method to reach people, as we feared it would be too cold and impersonal, but it has enabled us to draw more people into our world.
