We’re at the half way point of our 12 days of Valuable Content Awards, and today we’re giving a very well deserved award to Canopy & Stars – Sawday’s glamping team – for one incredibly useful and very beautiful checklist.
Sometimes the most valuable content is the most simple. That’s good to know, isn’t it? Especially if, like us, you’re feeling overloaded with advice and ideas and things to do. So if you’ve reached the point of running to stand still, then this example is for you.
The Canopy & Stars Checklist sets out all you need to pack for your weekend, together with a few suggestions of things to really make the most of your time away. Designed to send to guests before their glamping adventure you could say it’s a customer services piece really, but like much of the best content its reach has extended much further than that and it works incredibly well for marketing purposes too.
Check out the whole infographic below and you’ll see why. The simple ‘how to light a wood burner‘ is the kind of information that can make or break your glamping holiday. It’s the difference between a cosy night in front of the fire, and a freezing evening in a smoke filled room! We love the photo taking advice, and the what to look for wildlife tips too.
What elevates the checklist out of the ordinary is the design love that has gone into it. This is a gorgeous piece of art work – content that’s both useful and beautiful is genuinely winning stuff.
Congratulations Canopy & Stars! We’re mighty impressed. Your Valuable Content Award badge is on its way.
