Photos and Videos
-
Photos do not need to look perfect—people trust images taken by locals and guests. That is why user-generated content is so popular with consumers. Photos that capture a unique food item, images of people laughing with a coffee or drink in their hand, action shots to help the consumer feel what it’s like to experience the activity, and poses with a sculpture Downtown all provide fantastic and inspirational content.
-
We are always looking to update and share photos. Images must be sent to us via this link, with no exceptions.
Blog Content
-
Visit Grand Junction is always adding new blog content and looking for new ways to highlight local businesses.
- Note: By replying to the monthly PR eNewsletter and sharing information about your business, it helps us to know what you’re offering and where we can include you in blog content. Sometimes stories that are unique about a business don’t get picked up by press but are perfect blog opportunities.

Monthly eNewsletters
-
Visit Grand Junction sends out three email campaigns a month. The Stakeholder and PR Partner eNewsletters are opportunities for Visit Grand Junction to share recent work and accomplishments. Information includes earned, owned, and paid channels, events, media coverage, partnership opportunities, lodging tax reporting, and important information for tourism partners to be aware of. Additionally, Visit Grand Junction sends out a monthly Marketing eNewsletter that is distributed to both visitors and residents - worldwide. This eNews highlights upcoming local events, things to do, blogs, itineraries, and social posts. We recommend that you sign up for all three. We remove duplicates, so if you are not sure, we encourage you to sign up!
Public Relations (PR)
-
Be sure you are signed up for all three monthly eNewsletters (see above question). In the monthly PR eNews, topics will be shared with requests for information. Your response will be shared with national media that Visit Grand Junction is partnering with, including the Colorado Tourism Office. The press generally will only pick up an item that is new, unique, or trending, so try to think outside the box to help your chances of press including your offering.
