why promote your business with devonoutdoors.com?
|
|
|
|
|
|
We're not an advertising agency based in some far flung corner of the
country, we're in the heart of Devon itself and we're local. We have a passion for Devon, its dramatic scenery and some of the many outdoor pursuits which can be experienced and enjoyed in England's
largest County.
|
|
|
|
|
|
More than a website - your business is our business
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's our aim to become the leading resource for both locals and
adventure tourists travelling to Devon to participate in outdoor pursuits and extreme sports. We wish to actively seek out new opportunities for promoting our site (and in turn your business) beyond
simply placing it online.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's with this in mind that once we have achieved our initial target
of just 100 subscribing businesses who support our site, we will undertake the following:-
|
|
|
|
|
|
Find us on Devon Outdoors...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Eye-catching window stickers to be sent to all of our customers
advertising the fact that their business is listed on www.devonoutdoors.com and where to find further information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For Action, Adventure & Extreme Sports in Devon...
|
|
|
|
|
|
General advertising of www.devonoutdoors.com in the form of a window
sticker to be utilised by other services such as tourist information centres and in vehicle windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As the site evolves and expands in size we will also implement
advertising of the site itself in selected magazines and newspapers. This will help draw awareness to devonoutdoors.com and in turn, your business.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Promoting Devon Outdoors online
|
|
|
|
|

We advertise www.devonoutdoors.com on the Google, Yahoo and MSN
search engines. Through this marketing strategy we also have our site listed on the following websites.

|
:: Activity Centres & Instructors
|
|
|
|
|
|
More people than ever are exploring what they can
do in an area before they leave home and many of these wish to plan their holiday activities in advance. Your potential customers are looking for businesses like yours online, before they set off on
their journey. You may already have a website but people often research more than just one provider of a service before they make a decision and competition is fierce, even in the leisure industry! As
people browse www.devonoutdoors.com they can learn more about Devon and the activities which are available to them without having to search through many different websites to find a suitably qualified
and experienced professional who can teach them. Let us lead the way to you and your business!
|
|
|
|
|
|
:: Stores
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's true that many people will find your store by
simply walking down the high street in the area they are visiting. However, if you provide specialist knowledge and experience which can help people when choosing outdoor equipment and clothing why not
let them know before they arrive! That way they'll seek you out and ensure you're their first port of call when they need advice on what to purchase. Of course, if your store also benefits from an online
shopping feature you can further enhance your service by linking directly to it from www.devonoutdoors.com.
|
|
|
|
|
|
:: Accommodation
|
|
|
|
|
|
The majority of people will book their
accommodation before they travel. Whether they're looking for a luxury hotel, guest house, self catering or simply a campsite, people like to have the security that they'll be able to rest and relax on
arrival at their destination. This is particularly true for adventure tourists - if you have, for example, surfboard storage, wetsuit drying facilities or somewhere to keep mountain bikes safe and secure
advertise the fact! Promote on www.devonoutdoors.com and ensure your business benefits from maximum exposure online, from as little as £5.00 per month! For those who prefer to find somewhere to stay when
they arrive, let them know about your accommodation before they leave home.
|
|
|
|
|
|
:: Where to Eat & Drink
|
|
|
|
|
|
Of course, many people will prefer to browse the
local restaurants, pubs, clubs and cafes when they're out and about exploring an area. It is, however, handy for them to have an idea of what's available to them when they're deciding which area to
visit. Let them know where they'll be able to sample freshly caught seafood, experience fine wine and dining or simply grab a quick burger and a pint before heading out for the afternoon! With our
itinerary planner many people will keep a note of the eating and drinking establishments they'll be planning to visit...make sure yours is on their list!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remember...
|
|
|
|
|
|
:: South West tourism estimates that 1.1 million trips were made to Exmoor in 2003 alone. In turn this contributed approximately £70 million to the economy of Exmoor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
::
Long stay holidays to the area are in fact decreasing, however breaks for a
shorter duration, and in particular activity holidays are increasing - let your business be part of the action!
|
|
|
|
|
|
::
Advertising on www.devonoutdoors.com is cost effective. You can let your potential customers know about your business from as little as £2.50 per month! That's just
£30.00 for an entire years advertising, and to a global audience. Consider how much a typical newspaper advertisement costs, even on a local basis, which generally only lasts for the day it's been
issued. Newspaper advertising really is old news! How much business would you need to generate from www.devonoutdoors.com if your annual outlay has only been £30.00?
