Take it Seriously
• Online has ceased to be an interesting extra activity for a business
• It needs to be a central strategic tool for your business on two fronts:
• Marketing
• Management
• These two need to work together
![Page 5: Online Toolbox Session](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54688959af795924028b49b4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Know what you are selling
• How do your define your product?
• What is the experience you offer?
• What choice do you offer?
• What makes you unique?
• What is your value?
![Page 6: Online Toolbox Session](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54688959af795924028b49b4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Key Messages

Know who you are selling to...
• Can you describe and profile your typical client- or the one you’d like to have?
• Are you selling to more than one type of client?
• Are you using a single marketing technique to sell to all types of clients?

Profiling
• Where do they live?
• What is their family like?
• Where do they work?
• How do they have fun?
• What media do they consume?
• What are they likely to be searching for or talking about and how do they express it?

Sample Strategy• We are a family friendly safari camp in our
area with luxury tented accommodation and frequent wild dog sightings and we will target families from Europe before their school vacation period by promoting a special family offer that includes free kids ranger activities and a camp spa package, which we will be promoting through a video testimonial from a family who recently stayed with us. This will be posted on our YouTube channel, Tweeted and embedded on affiliate websites and Facebook, combined with Facebook ads and some key word ads for family breaks in our region, all of which will drive traffic to a special landing page we have created for bookings.

WEBSITES THAT WORK
![Page 19: Online Toolbox Session](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54688959af795924028b49b4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

A Site that Works
• Gives the user what they want
• Doesn’t send them to a dead end
• Never frustrates the user
• Converts to sales
• Socially Integrated
![Page 21: Online Toolbox Session](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54688959af795924028b49b4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Content Management
• Dynamic Websites are driven by Content Management Systems (CMS) which run on top of database repositories
• They provide easy to use and intuitive tools to help you manage your own website
• CMS systems let you update your website reliably and quickly
• They provide ‘Room for Growth’ – as your organization grows, your website can be easily expanded to cater to new requirements, services and needs
• Most use a simple WYSIWYG system
![Page 22: Online Toolbox Session](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54688959af795924028b49b4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Word Press
• WordPress has gone from a blogging system to the most popular Web CMS in use now
• Estimated 60% of working websites
• Extremely easy to use
• Template driven with thousands of themes
• Responsive designs for mobile
• Cost per widget and feature from a free base
• Easily transferrable to new developers
![Page 23: Online Toolbox Session](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54688959af795924028b49b4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Management
• Traditionally IT departments managed websites – but they don’t know your product or have business, marketing or PR skills- why are they managing it?
• A CMS can involve marketing personnel in the whole website management loop
• A CMS can delegate and manage responsibility
