3. Understanding of Current Situation

Background Rose Valley wants to be the leader in different sectors such as Hotel and Resort, Healthcare,

Insurance, Real Estates, Publication, Media, Entertainment and FMCG etc. Their products are spread

throughout India. Currently the main targeted markets are Hotels, Resorts and Travels sectors:

Resorts:

Mandarmoni

Falakata

Lataguri

Port Blair Hotels

Kolkata

Durgapur

Midnapur

Silchar

Old Digha

Tarapith

Target Audiences Rose Valley hotels and resorts are very beautiful and lots of people are taking their holiday leave

there. Foreign visitors are also coming for their holiday and stay there for the quality standard and

beautiful hotels and resorts. There are a growing number of corporate offices organising their

business meetings also. The main target audience is tourists and corporations second. Most are

domestic visitors but also some foreign guests too.

Online Presence The main group websites are –

http://www.rosevalleyindia.com

http://www.rosevalleyresorts.com

http://www.rosevalleyfilms.com/

The main problem with these sites is that they’re not very visible to the target audience on search

engines namely Google, Bing and Yahoo. These are potential customers actively seeking out hotels

such as Rose Valley but because these sites are not optimised, they are not a consideration for the

searcher. In most cases, search with related keywords like – ‘Mandarmani Resort’ and it will show

the competitor sites on the top of the search results. Secondly, there are also certain non-desirable

results appearing when searching for Rose Valley that may give a bad impression to the online

visitor.

Under Standing of Marketing Strategy Rose Valley spends a significant amount of money for marketing the group through traditional TV &

print media. However it is time to evaluate if there is any other option available for better ROI and

Branding. Nowadays young affluent people are using internet for finding information and

convenience for their decision making process. We feel it is a right time that the corporate identity

and communication strategy should be empowered with a strong online strategy to capture the

attention of the growing online user base. Online channels are the most suitable media form for

customer acquisition in the sectors Rose Valley is operating in now.

Page 15: Seo proposal rose_valley

ECelticSEO - Rise Above The Rest

Proposal for an Online Marketing Strategy | Rose Valley | Confidential | 09.05.2011 |Page 15 of 48

Why is the user on your website? The design or redesign of any website should start with an analysis of existing and prospective users. A key aspect to consider is why the user has chosen to visit the website on that occasion – referred to as a site visit goal. This report considers users who are on a website for one of the following two reasons: • to gather information – looking for information such as hotel amenities, or the rates and room availability on a known stay date etc. in order to eventually make a reservation (comparison shopping) • to make a reservation There are other reasons for visiting a website – for example to make a customer service enquiry, to cancel or modify a reservation, to check the level of a users loyalty card points – but this report addresses the user goals of information-gathering and reservation-making. What is a booking process? A booking process determines how the user navigates through a series of sequential phases in an

online hotel reservation.

For example, a user may:

1. Enter required city and stay-date

2. Review options from available hotels, rooms, and rates

3. Select a suitable hotel, room, and rate

4. Enter guest and payment details

5. Confirm reservation

The figure below shows how a banner advertising system works. In this example, a company creates and submits a small banner ad to a banner advertising network and selects location, time and category as the ad promotion criteria. The banner advertising network submits these ads to multiple web sites that have agreed to be part of the banner advertising network and keeps track of the transmission, selection and response to these ads. The web site system operators insert the banner ads on their web pages in specific locations.

6. Why Online Marketing is taking Over Other Media Traditional Print, Radio and TV media is very good for ‘Local’ branding and has its own merits. The only issue with this traditional form of marketing is there is no direct measure available for return of investment. Also someone needs to pay a premium price or investment in putting their ads in these places If we take an example of Print Magazine –

Print Media

Anandabazar Patrika

Circulation

Print Circulation - weekdays: 1,120,420

Print circulation – Sunday: 1,627,062 Cost

Anandabazar Patrika Full Page Ad – 25 lakhs per day and more for whole West Bengal

Sananda

Circulation

Monthly Circulation: 30,000

Mostly women subscriber Cost

Sananda Magazine Full Page Ad – 1 lakh

Times of India

Average paid Sunday circulation is 10,19,388 and Monday - Friday circulation is 7,23,181

TV Channels

Star Ananda

Average No of Viewers: 430,00,000 TV ad production cost – 4 to 6 Lakhs Depending on the time and program the cost varies. Star Ananda charges Rs 4000 per 10 second each time the ads are showing on the TV. General Ad lengths are 20 -30 seconds and the ads needs to be showed various times during the day/month. In general you need to give 5

Page 31: Seo proposal rose_valley

Proposal for an Online Marketing Strategy | Rose Valley | Confidential | 09.05.2011 |Page 31 of 48

Even with all this cost you are never sure how many readers/viewers is actually becoming your customer.

Why Web Marketing Is Better than Print Media?

Ads are interactive

In the same place, you can place multiple ads with different caption, colour, image for

different user group

You can update the ads immediately with user input

Your company displayed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 12 months a year in any part of the

World. While in newspaper your ad will be gone next day

Online media is going to overcome print media (http://www.pwc.com/gx/en/press-

room/2010/E-and-M-players-seek-new-roles-digital-value-chain.jhtml)

7. Estimated Budget and Mile Stones Web Marketing & Search Engine Optimisation takes time to show its result. We usually execute

plans of six months with monthly progress meeting where we show the improvement from the

initial bench mark phase. In General there is not much difference noticed in the first couple of

months but from the third month, we can see steady improvement.

We propose that Rose Valley Group might need to spend at least 25 % of their total marketing

budget online. Following activities should be carried out –

Development exiting sites( Rose valley Group site, Hotel & Resorts and Travel is our

first preference than client request we will start work on other sectors)

PPC campaign of Rs 1,00,000 every month for hotel, resort and travel.

Banner and Rich Media ads of Rs 1,00,000 per month.

Reputation Management, SEO & Social Media - Rs 1,50,000 Per month

Developing mini sites & improving existing sites – this will vary case to case basis

The above figures are ball park estimates for the whole group activities. It could be modified

depending on the budget Rose Valley wants to allocate in different areas. Higher budget will bring

better result and more customer acquisition.

Detail monthly goals will be set after initial discussion with the management and before starting the

project. The following would be done within first six months –

In general 10% increase in monthly visitor volume from 2nd month. Ongoing

visitor increase rate in general will be 3% – 5% per month from then on.

20,000 – 25,000 followers in social networks after first six months

Removing most of the existing non favourable remarks from coming in the first

page of Google search

New good remarks would be coming up in the first couple of pages when some

search with Rose Valley

Ranking in the first page of Google and other search engines with the agreed

keywords

Increase in hotel booking ( would be decided in initial goal setting meeting)

8. Our Project Management and Execution Approach

Operations Process Overview We understand the needs of Rose Valley from working with similar high profile clients in previous

projects and know the best practices that Rose Valley expects in operation, consistency of delivery,

and support. So throughout our project execution we will have the operational objectives of:

• On-time project completion

• Meeting our targets per month

• Increase target visitors and their business by converting visitors to customers.

Project Planning and Management While a project is being executed, eCeltic follows a set of documentation, project development

methodology and testing techniques. We utilize different tools and utilities to produce the

documentation like HTML help, Visio and different utilities of MS-Office. We use e-Collab to

enumerate the work breakdown structure, for resource allocation, for milestone-based project

scheduling, collaboration and progress tracking.

Monthly reports of the project will be provided, which will give details of each and every aspect of

the project. However, any problems or issues will be communicated directly by the project manager

to the Halpern Cowan contact person and not left until the monthly report is published.

Please see our online collaboration tool given below for more detail.

Detailed Analysis & Project Benchmarking This involves the study of project requirements. Documented inputs provided by the client and

technical resources collected during project estimation phase are passed on to the project team. The

project manager’s understanding is transferred to the project team through a series of knowledge

transfer meetings.
