Going from business to business all day during this part of the year is intensely hot no matter where you\u2019re from!<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Favorite part of the job: Meeting the many people from around the world employed at the variety businesses in Siem Reap\u2026 this has really improved his communication skills and he can name nearly anyone\u2019s home country from the sound of their accent!<a href=\"https:\/\/pharecircus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/street-marketing2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1097\" alt=\"street-marketing(2)\" src=\"https:\/\/pharecircus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/street-marketing2.jpg\" width=\"552\" height=\"179\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The number of hotels visited may seem high, but that number is not for all new hotels. Some of them are new, but we actually visit all of our hotels as frequently as possible, preferably every 2 weeks. This is because meeting once with hotel staff is not enough to keep us on their minds in terms of recommending Phare performances to their customers. In addition, the number of front-line staff at the larger hotels in Siem Reap is massive and Titya could visit the same hotel 4 times in a month and talk to an entirely different front office team each time! And then there\u2019s the management\u2026 getting a manager interested in Phare isn\u2019t always easy with their busy jobs, but if they are, it will mean more show-goers from the guests at their establishment for sure. Many of the managers in town do connect well with us as they know that good recommendations for things to do around town means better reviews for their hotels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pharecircus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/street-marketing3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1098\" alt=\"street-marketing(3)\" src=\"https:\/\/pharecircus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/street-marketing3.jpg\" width=\"223\" height=\"153\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pharecircus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/street-marketing4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1099\" alt=\"street-marketing(4)\" src=\"https:\/\/pharecircus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/street-marketing4.jpg\" width=\"208\" height=\"157\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pharecircus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/street-marketing5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1100\" alt=\"street-marketing(5)\" src=\"https:\/\/pharecircus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/street-marketing5.jpg\" width=\"180\" height=\"158\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Lastly, I was able to stop in to Beyond Unique Escapes (BUE) with Titya to see if their staff needed any more marketing materials. BUE is one of our largest distributors of Phare tickets in Siem Reap and they know our shows as well as we do\u2026 you might notice they have video of our performances running constantly in their office!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pharecircus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/street-marketing6.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1101\" alt=\"street-marketing(6)\" src=\"https:\/\/pharecircus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/street-marketing6.jpg\" width=\"330\" height=\"315\" \/><\/a>Their Phare page is here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beyonduniqueescapes.com\/cambodia\/unique-experiences\/phare-the-cambodian-circus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.beyonduniqueescapes.com\/cambodia\/unique-experiences\/phare-the-cambodian-circus.html<\/a> and you can link to a variety of their other tour options as well.
