Facebook & Instagram Ads
We run Meta ads for Murree hotels and guest houses in short, well-timed bursts: before summer holidays, Eid breaks and forecast snow. Ads target families in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore and other cities, show real rooms and views, and open a WhatsApp chat so your front desk can quote and confirm. Ad spend is paid to Meta separately.
On the Pro package, PKR 70,000+ per month. Ad spend is separate and paid straight to the platform.
Why it fits
Murree demand is predictable in shape but sudden in timing. Families commit to a snow trip when the forecast changes or a holiday is announced, and the hotels already sitting in their feed get the first messages. Meta ads suit this because they can switch on within hours, reach the cities visitors come from, and find people by interest in travel rather than waiting for a search. They also work midweek: a sensible offer for Monday to Thursday stays can fill rooms that otherwise sit empty while every weekend is sold out.

Illustrative starting points, not results. The audit decides the real first move.

A targeting split we might try
One ad set for Islamabad and Rawalpindi families planning a same-week trip, another for Lahore and Faisalabad visitors planning a long weekend ahead, each with its own creative and timing.
In the weeks before demand peaks and whenever snow is forecast. That means late spring for summer holidays, before each Eid, and from December for snow. Outside those windows a small weekday campaign can still earn its keep. Constant spending through dead months wastes money that would fill more rooms in season.
The cities your guests already come from. For most Murree hotels that means Islamabad and Rawalpindi for short-notice trips, plus Lahore, Faisalabad and Peshawar for planned family holidays. Check your own guest register first; if most guests arrive from Lahore, that is where the budget belongs.
Pitfalls
The city
Murree is one of the towns we drive to. The first meeting and the shoots happen on your premises, timed for clear weather and empty rooms, ideally before the season starts. After that the work runs from Islamabad over WhatsApp and a shared Drive folder, and we come back up when the next batch of photos or video is due, including a snow shoot when the first fall arrives.

These are the questions we get on WhatsApp every week, answered the way we would answer them there.
WhatsApp usNo fixed amount is required. Start small, measure how many WhatsApp chats turn into stays, and increase only when the numbers justify it. Ad spend goes to Meta directly and is separate from our management fee.
No, and they should not try. Ads can show snow you have genuinely had and say rooms are free for the weekend. Promising snow on particular dates leads to disappointed guests and bad reviews when the weather does not cooperate.
