How has this year been for you?
Are you more or less inspired in 2010?
twitter: #NFRA | @FUZE
Some of the things we’ve learned…• Being complacent, rolling with the herd, gets you no-place
• Doing nothing, also gets you no-place
• Your reputation and your brand are critical
• Authenticity and sincerity will always win
• Unless you truly forge a relationship, you are only as good as the memory of your last transaction

The world vs. your world
twitter: #NFRA | @FUZE
A new world view…• Economics have changed our values and what's important to us
• We have returned to our safe zone, family
• We favor intimacy over excess
• We seek activities closer to home; exploring our own cities
• We seek economical holidays
• We have a renewed interest in the past
• We have a new relationship with the environment
• Others??
twitter: #NFRA | @FUZE
Bottom Line:
These changes work in favor of every person in this room.How will you capitalize on it?

What else has changed?
twitter: #NFRA | @FUZE
What else has changed?
The way we search, research, the devices we use, and the future generations.
twitter: #NFRA | @FUZE
What people expect• We connect on new devices; smaller and different screen
• We expect relevant and consistent experiences
• We expect speedy access
• We expect clear content developed for us
• We expect things to be where we anticipate them to be
• We trust the opinions of others like us– More than we trust you
• We expect honest presentations
• We have very little patience

Back to reality…
How do you find your customers?
…or your thoughts on how they find you?
twitter: #NFRA | @FUZE
How do you find[and keep] customers?• Traditional Marketing
• Search Marketing
• Co-marketing
• Traditional advertising
• Social Media
• Word of mouth
• Loyalty programs
• Reengagement campaigns
• Retargeting
• Referral programs
• Communication plans
• Unique positioning statements
• Partnering

Site reviews…
Quality is subjective, but all over the board.
twitter: #NFRA | @FUZE
What features do customers care about?Give them what they want…don’t try to steer from the passenger seat.
twitter: #NFRA | @FUZE
I argue, people only want this from you• Realistic presentation of what
you offer
• Professional and clear photos & videos– If low-fi, then they better be
from real people
• Usable directions & maps
• Reservation options (preferably online)
• Real time communications
• Actionable promotions`
• Ways to connect with you and stay in touch, passively
• Light reading, zero thinking
• Seasonal information
• How to prepare for current conditions
• Reviews and real peoples perspectives
• A tour of some sort
• A way to plan/share a trip
twitter: #NFRA | @FUZE
What they don’t probably care about…• Your assumption of what they should be looking for
• Ornate presentations
• Music and spinning objects
• Lots of copy and content (a picture is worth a thousand words)
• Last update 2005
• Irrelevant photos
• Having to keep up with you on their own
• Your website the only source of information
• Your history (unless its relevant to their experience)
• Your corporate structure
twitter: #NFRA | @FUZE
If your online strategy doesn’t match what customers want, what are you doing about it?[insert excuses here]
twitter: #NFRA | @FUZE
Justification[excuses] for non-action• It’s too expensive
• I can just do it myself
• I don’t want to do it myself
• Nobody cares about this
• My customers are older
• That’s not where my customers come from
• What we have is good enough
• I am not tech-ie
• I don’t have time
twitter: #NFRA | @FUZE
Maybe some of those are true, today.

MicroSites
Sometimes you need a specific place to tell a story. For advertising, for niche, to develop more content, SEO…lots of benefits.

Research
It’s a vast universe of information out there. Don’t make uninformed decisions. And remember, your best source of information may not be in your own industry/niche.

Analytics
Absolute necessity…we are just at the beginning.
(fyi – google isnt the only option)
twitter: #NFRA | @FUZE
More than tools• Do you track how your site is trending?
• Do you know what your top products are by sales, by channel?
• Do you know what your ROI is on your PPC terms?
• Are you looking for click-fraud?
• Are you reacting to interim interest?
• Are you customizing your site based on what you know about someone?
• Are you tracking what people say about you/your brand?
• Are you monitoring your competition?
• Analytics are more than hits & visits and 1-size does not fit all
