After you place your order online we will get in touch with you and send you our Website Content Pro Forma document. Once this is filled in it will normally take around 2 weeks to create your site.

I have my own logo. Can I use this on my website?

All you need to do is provide us with an image file of the highest resolution you can find. The best resolution for using images on the web is 72 dpi (dots per inch).

RAISING PROMOTION EFFECTIVENESS

Pub A's customers are predominantly in the 25-44 year old market, they don’t have a website and are planning on running a promotion on a Monday night on behalf of their drinks supplier targeted at their primary market. They received some posters by post and have put them up the previous Friday afternoon.

Pub B know that most users on Facebook are Female and are in the 25-44 years age bracket. They have a Facebook “Group” with over 650 “friends” and posted an “Event” on the previous Monday as soon as they confirmed the promotion with the Sales rep. The Pub post a News Item on their Group page which instantly appears in all their customers News Feeds with a link to Pub B's website. A form has been added to the Group page requesting confirmation of attendance, offering a free prize entry for those replying. To encourage early attendance and for spin off revenue a link to the Pub website advertising a Special Meal deal for those who want to get some food before the event kicks off.

Outcome
Pub B is in a far better position to increase footfall and plan for staffing. Pub A is relying purely on footfall over the 3 days which is not giving their customers much time to plan. Using a website in conjunction with Social Media creates an extremely powerful e-Marketing of the Event versus Traditional Media. This results in increasing the probability of a successful event.

CAPTURING THAT ENQUIRY

Pub A doesn’t have a website and is regularly asked over the phone for menus to be sent out to local schools and offices. They receive calls over the phone with booking information however when customers call the phone is often engaged or there is someone waiting to be served at the bar.

Pub B does have a website, which is mentioned during the answer machine message. Their “Food Page” is Search Engine friendly so that potential customers searching for FOOD LUNCH YOURTOWN will be easier to find. They have a downloadable Booking Forms (incl Menu) for Lunch or Evening. They also have information on when meals are served. They also run a separate catering service and contain all Pricing and Contact information.

Outcome
Customers can instantly email you via a contact form when it's suitable for them and fresh in their mind thus increasing the number of bookings. Eliminating Phone Tag and capture that enquiry.

Tips
If customers phone you and the line is engaged, change your message to refer them to your website where they can submit their enquiry. Highlight if you have a Children’s licence and offer to reserve High Chair.
