Internet Marketing

Mike Saunders is a marketing consultant who specialises in internet marketing and social media campaigns. He started his business at the beginning of 2010 and decided to use the Unisite Business Software to manage his financial admin. Mike uses wordpress as his blogging software and was pleased to see how the unisite integrated into Wordpress and started using the websuite wherever the wordpress software was not flexible enough to display his content correctly.

We are excited to see Mike using the Unisite Business Suite because it proves the value if the system to small business in South Africa.

Glamour Bride is the latest internet marketing concept from Mike Saunders and is targeted at the Wedding Industry niche. Promoting the wedding industry in South Africa online through search engines and social networks. The big difference is that Glamour Bride are more interested in providing a wonderful experience for the bride by producing quality content. Glamour Bride is not an advertising portal, its a place to find organised information about the wedding industry in South Africa.

So what does this have to do with Unisite and Sesalos.
Simple! Glamour Bride was built on a Unisite platform and design by Vaughan Marias at Sesalos. The Unisite was seamlessly integrated with the Wordpress blogging platform. The blog designs started with WooTheme templates that were customized to match the Unisite design.
Another example of the flexibility of the Unisite Content Management System.

The growth of the internet has been primarily attributed to the decreasing costs in bandwidth. However with further growth opportunities on the horizon concerning the internet it has become abundantly clear that the internet in South Africa is fast becoming a necessity to sustainable business growth.

The Durban Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce that in September 2008 the new upgraded Chamber website will be launched with a particular focus on making the website more user friendly and informative.

The website is an extension of the Durban Chamber and therefore serves small, medium and large enterprises across all sectors of business in the greater Durban area; offering profitable networking opportunities locally, nationally and internationally extending the reach and influence of business in Durban. The website is not simply a brochure that outlines the Chamber service offerings but has now become an effective channel to interact with various aspects and departments in Chamber network.

A great example relates to the Committees that run within the Chamber. Chamber committees have the task and responsibility of lobbying government on behalf of business in Durban. Using the Chamber website allows you to interact with the committees. You can view meeting schedules, agendas and minutes of all committees. More importantly, you are able to submit issues that you would like to have raised and actioned by the committees.

One of the most exciting opportunities that was designed for the website was the ‘Member to Member Quotelink.’ The Member to Member Quotelink is a resource available to members of the Durban Chamber. This resource makes quote requesting an easy and efficient task. Essentially you are able to send one quote request to an entire industry of professionals which saves you substantial time in requesting quotes for your outsourcing needs. Harness the power of the Durban Chamber Networking through the Durban Chamber Member to Member Quotelink and save yourself valuable time and energy.

All the functionality used by the Durban Chamber of Commerce is part of the Unisite Business Suite. Therefore the Durban Chamber will experience constant updates on all their purchased software which is a standard practice for all Unisite Business Suite clients.

What makes this website different to most ’systems rich’ website though is that it has a specific focus on meeting and interacting with its audience. This is done through a strategic content plan that guides website users through the vast array of the Durban Chamber services and products. The Durban Chamber made special use of the consulting service that comes alongside the Unisite Business Suite to ensure that their website was attractive to both a human audience and a search engine audience.

The reasons were simple! To have an easy to use content management system was of utmost importance, and the on page management concept made it easy to understand the system quickly.

Further than content management, the Unisite Business Suite offered a complete client database management system that integrated email, SMS and fax communications to all clients and internal staff members. Most of the marketing aspects of The KZN Top Business Portfolio were now taken care of with the Communications systems and the Complete Website Package.

KZN Top Business Portfolio (KZNTBP) are also making use of the Sales Suite which uses the existing Client Database and manages the Sales Process ensuring that clients are never forgotten. The sales process is completed with the Invoicing Suite which ensures a smooth transition between the closing of a sale and the payment/billing process. The great benefit for KZNTBP was that all this software that their business now runs on is available anywhere through and internet connection and a secure online environment. This means that their office is now truly accessible from anywhere in the world.

This trend to move business management online is not a new concept and is being adopted worldwide by many large enterprises. This is mainly due to advances in security online and also with the increase in the speed of the internet through broadband technologies.
