Get “Mocial” With Your Email List

Recently we’ve discussed the importance of incorporating newsletters into your marketing plans and how to make them great.  Well, great newsletters need readers, right?  But of course!
If you’ve already started using newsletters to communicate with your current and potential customers, you most likely have some sort of call-to-action on your website urging new visitors to “sign up” or “join” your mailing list.  But it doesn’t have to stop there.  It’s time to get “mocial!”
What in the world is “mocial?”  In a nutshell, it’s a silly sounding word that summarizes the wave of the future.  The world is mobile and interconnected personally and professionally through social media.  While most companies are engaging with consumers online, very few are using these channels to grow their opt-in lists.
As luck would have it, we’ve found a handy-dandy infographic that shows how your company can use these social media apps and mobile tools to get “mocial” with your email list.

Make Your Website Mobile Compatible: Responsive Design

Close up view of a businessman using a smartphoneDo you know where your clients are? Although some of them may be walking by your shorefront or googling your services on their laptop, most of them are reaching into their pockets for their cellphones. Phone in hand, they are looking for your business. When they find your website, will they have to zoom in and out as they struggle to hit small hard-to-see links? Will they eventually get discouraged, close their browser and move on with their lives? Or, will they have an incredibly enjoyable and informative experience because you have made your website mobile compatible?

Your Customers Are On Visiting Your Web site From Their Phones

According to Dzinepress, eight out of 10 Internet users access the web over their phones. One out of every seven searches are done on a phone, and four out of five smartphone users shop on their cellphones in the U.S., according to MozakDesign. According to iBlogZone, 40 percent of those people claim that they will turn to a competitors site if they don’t have a positive mobile experience. The importance of a user-friendly mobile-compatible Web site is clear from the numbers, but creating the perfect site isn’t always easy.

Start With A Decision

Decide whether you want to copy your original site or make a completely new one. If you decide to copy your current site, certain design elements may not transfer easily to a smaller screen, and these elements may need to be adjusted to make your mobile site attractive and compelling. In most cases, you will also need to drop a lot of content. According to TechRadar, identifying the important content and removing superfluous copy is one of the most critical parts of this process.
Although you may end up removing parts of your website, you will get to add a lot of great features at the same time. Mobile sites can provide a higher degree of functionality than most desktop sites. With the click of a button, prospective clients can get directions to your store, call you, add your app to their phone or add your details to their address book. According to TechRadar, with the right knowledge, you can even customize your mobile site so it offers different products and services to different users based on their location.

How To Make The Change

If you are comfortable with programming languages like HTML, WML, Compact HTML and XHTML Mobile profile, you can easily make a mobile-compatible website, and you may even be able to add features like live chat, which can increase conversion rates by 20 percent, according to LivePerson.com.
Thanks to Google, making your website mobile compatible can now be a DIY project regardless of how tech savvy you may or may not be. The Internet giant recently paired up with DudaMobile to create a free mobile site builder. According to a review at iBlogZone, using the program is simple.
Users simply need to type in the URL, and then they are lead through a process that allows them to select themes and tailor features to meet their needs. The program makes it easy to upload logos, graphics and links, and it only takes a few minutes to complete.
Once your mobile site is live, take a few extra steps to ensure that your clients can find you. Ideally, according to hireawiz.com, you should update your info in any relevant databases like Yelp, and you may even want to hire a mobile SEO guru to help tweak your site’s final details.

What is Bareboat Yacht Charter ?

image

















Bareboat Yacht Charter is just like renting a car. You sail her yourself. You are the skipper and therefore you can go wherever you wish, at your own pace, no fixed itinerary, just go where the wind, fany, takes you. Bareboat Charters run from Saturday to Saturday (usually), with embarkation being around 5pm and disembarkation around 8am. - 9am, in most cases you are expected to return the yacht the evening before you depart. Most charters are round trips, returning to the base from where you started, although if you book early we can usually organised one -way charters if required.

At least one member of your party must hold sailing qualifications equivalent to RYA/DOT Day Skipper level (in some cases, usually only Turkey, if you can provide a resume detailing adequate experience of skippering a similar size yacht in similar waters, this may suffice), for Greece, a second person must be qualified, or experienced, to RYA/DOT Competent Crew level. For Croatia the Skipper must also hold a VHF license. ( In all cases, the yacht owner/operator reserves the right to insist you take on a skipper, at your cost, if they feel you do not have adequate qualification, experience, or skills. - so please, if you are in any doubt please clarify this with us before hand).

If you feel you under qualified, or would just prefer to have a more relaxing time, then why not rent a  skipper, who can take over all the responsibilities of the yacht, as well as acting as a guide, taking you to all the best ( and often known only by the locals) bays and anchorages.

All our yachts come fully equipped with everything you will need, from safety equipment to galley equipment, dinghies, outboards, bedding, linen & often towels.
