Marketing services for strategy and practice

Marketing-Contor offers you a wide range of solutions for tourism marketing in companies or organizations. Service and quality are central principles of our services, based on solid know-how and experience, with special focus on pragmatism and innovative approaches.

Marketing-Contor is a small, efficient marketing consultancy based in Lüneburg close to Hamburg. Tailor-made solutions are developed in flexible teams. This results in the advantage of individual services for you as a customer, instead of standardized template-style solutions, which is rather common with many large consulting firms. Thus, our approach offers high cost efficiency with short start-up times.

While Northern Europe has traditionally been particularly important as a market and destination, our range of marketing services now includes a variety of national and international markets and target areas, cities and regions as well as tourism & travel suppliers.

During the last few years, the main areas of work have been product management, concepts and innovative projects for target areas, lectures and seminars and sales promotion projects. The scope of business areas and activities is currently extended, with a clear focus on project management, market and business analyses and representative tasks.

Our History

The agency was founded as a consultancy under the description ”Tourism & Marketing Services” in 1995, when the European aviation industry was constantly struggling with structural problems and the new competitive situation in a liberalized market. Staff shortages and the urgency of new structures and strategies on the part of the airlines formed the occasion to work on numerous projects for various airlines, from marketing planning to sales promotion projects and economic analyses of regional markets to route target analyses for individual destinations and complete markets.

We have been operating with our brand "Marketing-Contor" since 2001, and the name is symbolic in several respects. Contor (Kontor) is the traditional name of a branch of Hanseatic merchants. Today the term is still used by merchants in Hanse cities. In this tradition, based in the Hanse city of Lüneburg, we also see our natural obligation for quality, reliability and commitment to our customers, whether in the region or internationally.
In October 2006 we founded the special tour operator VinTour as a new business area with a worldwide range of wine and culinary tours. With this business area we want to prove our competence, our strategies and concepts in the area of ​​target group-specific marketing in the tourist practice as well. Too many consulting firms wander from client to client with standardized solutions "out of the drawer" without any demonstrable reference to practice or the needs of the clients, and without a guarantee of success.

We want to underline our experience and practical competence with VinTour, and of course economically successful. And admittedly, the combination of wine and tourism is also a very pleasant business activity.
