Website launch is only
the first step in the realization of the online business objectives. Once
the site "goes live," the actual work of meeting the business
objectives begins. Only effective ongoing management, administration,
and measurement strategies will guarantee the success of the ongoing business
strategy.
Web Philippines, Inc.'s
brand management service is guided by five (5) basic steps:
Step 1. Continuous
evaluation of progress relative to justification objective
Step 2. Rating of site's current status
Step 3. Identification of unexpected results
Step 4. Evolution of features/content
Step 5. Revision of sales/marketing strategies
The service is grounded
on three (3) core strategies:
Marketing
Marketing develops awareness through promotional programs, both online
and offline. Once awareness is created and people begin to visit the site,
effective marketing will ensure that the needs of the user are met. Marketing
will then be responsible for developing new programs to draw in new users
as well as to encourage existing offline users to take advantage of the
site's benefits.
Sales/Operations
As the site falls into a day-to-day routine, tracking of business results
begins. By monitoring the results in the early stages, the online strategy
can be modified as appropriate.
Administration and
Maintenance
Administration of the site includes not only the daily maintenance of
site content and user expectations but also a regular program to assess
the macro issues of positioning, competition, and user experience.
Maintenance includes
the ongoing functionality of the site as users' needs change and the user
base grows. It also includes responsibility in the area of security and
client confidentiality as the data about each user continues to evolve.
