The Creative Approach:
In developing a client's new Website or product, WHITCOM uses a
six-step process to ensure we create an environment that ultimately
meets the requirements set forth by our customers. This is the "marketing"
homework that must be done before the first line of code is written.
| 1. Define the target
audience: |
| To ensure the client's message and features are
appropriately articulated, the audience must be clearly defined.
|
| |
| 2.Find the Inherent drama
of the client's story: |
| With a focus on the targeted audience, what differentiates
our client's offering from the competition? |
| |
| 3.Translate that inherent drama
to a believable benefit: |
| How does this help the customer? What are some
examples of how they can use it? Is it easy to use? Does your
company use its own product (referred to as "eating your
own dogfood")? Prove to your customer that what
you have to offer will make a difference. |
| |
| 4. Get the targeted audiences'
attention: |
| In addition to developing a visually attractive
Website, WHITCOM Websites will keep the target audiences' attention
by focusing on what interests these visitors. |
| |
| 5. Motivate the audience
to act (and make it easy to do so): |
| What is the appropriate call-to-action? Place
an order; make a reservation; make a call; send an email; request
more information; etc. |
| |
| 6. Measure response: |
| How will you determine if the site or product
is a success? Examples; feedback from users, log analysis, sales. |
We go through this process to ensure we meet
the goal of EVERY Website in the world:
