Local community clubs and bars need their own website to help promote latest events, news and take in queries from customers. 
However the cost to setup websites that work in this sector has been high. Typically $5,000 or more, plus large monthly hosting and upkeep fees. Few owner-operator or trust run bars can afford this.
A better way to promote online
We’ve a super powerful, industry-standard platform, plus versatile design options that saves time and expense – Yet provides a stunning look and features that are hard to find elsewhere. And unlike 95% of NZ websites, ours are fully optimised for fast viewing on mobile phones and Google-friendly too.
Our most popular and recommended design theme for bars and clubs, is shown left. We customise this for each bar or club, putting in your own supplied logos, content and photos. There’s ample areas for bar food descriptions and drinks menus, to promote events, competitions, promote your sponsors and various signup forms to keep clients engaged.
Options to keep ahead of the competition
Our ‘standard’ package by itself is incredible. But the enhancements we have available with our Web 2.0 sites are almost endless – Some features costing thousands if you went elsewhere.
For example, online photo galleries can be built for all those special events and safely commented on by customers. These galleries could be made private, viewable by invitation only. All this could be worked in with local photographers, providing them a portal on your website to upload images and allow people to safely order printed versions online, with the bar/club taking a commission.
Have some event videos taken on your phone or digital camera? We can setup your own YouTube account and have them all on your website within hours. Websites with videos included typically get a 25-100% traffic boost. Videos make your website more professional and emphasizes how ‘alive’ your club is.
eCommerce upgrades. Online ordering and payment of items like tee shirts, gift vouchers, or perhaps an online reservation system for your in-house restaurant is available too as optional modules. Notifications or alerts to staff can be by normal email, mobile email, fax or mobile text message.
Keeping in touch with loyal customers by email and mobile is critical for growth and a way to quickly reduce print advertising costs. We’ll help build up your customer lists with online and offline (paper) signup forms – And a system to track everything for you. The handful of bars and clubs across NZ quietly doing this are reaping big rewards, with a steady stream of customers turning up after each promotion.
The young generation spend a lot of time here. We’ll help setup your own Facebook page that has items and promotions automatically copied from your website. Operations overseas that have a busy website PLUS an up-to-date FaceBook page obtain 30-50% more online traffic and sales. Why is this? As in traditional advertising, it’s all about exposure – The more ‘places’ you appear online, the more people you’ll touch.
Last but not least, a Google Maps/Local Business listing! This is the easiest way to get on page one of Google for local businesses and community organisations. It provides up to ten times the leads of a costly Yellow Pages listing! Details here
