<description>How a trade show could recruit buyers with the offer it already makes. IBTM World's post got 5 likes on 16,000 followers. The hook is the headline. Your flight to Barcelona is on us was buried in the caption. Now it is the biggest thing on the post, in the brand's electric blue. Barcelona, not Toronto. The city the show is in replaces another city's stand, and the gradient wash is gone so the photo can do its job. One line of details. The hotel, the dates and the venue sit in one line under the hook, with a button that says where to apply instead of a fake web button.</description>

<description>How the council that writes the standard could fill a free training day in Bangkok. GSTC's post got 5 likes on 5,900 followers. Three words that fill a room. Free, one day and Bangkok are the reasons someone registers, so they became the headline instead of the course's formal title. A real traveller, a real place. A woman in a wheelchair on the canyon rim replaces the cartoon tiles, and the post is 4 by 5 so it fills the feed on a phone. The facts in a strip. When, where and who teaches it sit in one clean strip with both logos, and the fee waiver moved from the caption onto the post.</description>

<description>How a hotel group could sell a spa offer with the one view only it has. PARKROYAL Hotels and Resorts's post got 3 likes on 13,000 followers. A view only this hotel has. The sky garden pool at Pickering replaces a spa photo that could be any hotel anywhere, and the property is named under it. The offer as one number. 25% is the biggest thing on the post after the headline. The loyalty frame became one line of small type above it. Air around the photo. Cream margins, one serif line and the hotel's own logo, so the post looks like the hotel rather than a programme announcement.</description>

<description>How an expedition operator could make its impact number the one people remember. Aurora Expeditions's post got 21 likes on 54,000 followers. The forest, from inside. A kelp forest in the light replaces the murky top down shot, so the post shows the habitat the number is about. The true number leads. 17,300 plants is the fact. The bathtub maths is gone, and the area becomes sixteen tennis courts, which anyone can picture. The caption's facts on the image. The square feet, the coast, the partner and the line that every passenger funds it moved from the caption onto the post.</description>

<description>How a tourism board could announce a new route by showing the place, not the plane. Belize Tourism Board's post got 104 likes on 157,000 followers. The place is the hero. The Blue Hole fills the frame. Nobody books Belize for the aircraft, so the plane became one small icon on the boarding pass. The facts read like a ticket. Airport codes, the airline, the days and the season sit in one boarding pass block at the bottom, in the order someone checks them. The brand's own colours. Teal, mango and sand from the Belize brand replace the royal blue and orange, so the post looks like the board and the website.</description>
