Website - your window to the World
the best investment you can make in your business
Your web presence is your window to the world. Clients
need to be able to locate you on the internet and navigate
your website with ease – or they will go elsewhere.
I’m not an expert in this area, but through maintaining
and improving our own site I have picked up some helpful
tips detailed in this article. However we recommend you
always check with your IT provider.
Motels perform better if they have a strong web
presence
We have studied the books and performance of a great
many motels over the years, it is clear that moteliers who
‘work’ their website perform better than those that don’t.
But no need to panic - you don’t need to be an expert
and it is not as daunting a task as it can appear. It has
become clear that many people prefer to book online, so
it is important to be highly visible and ensure you have an
online booking system. These are great, convenient for
the guests and means that there is no negotiation on the
rate, as is often found when personal contact is involved.
You must be easily found
It is important to be found. If you don’t come up on the
first page of a search inquiry you will miss out on a lot
of business. To test your visibility use someone else’s
computer and type in your motel name in both Google and
Yahoo and see if you come up on the first page, then try
motels and accommodation in your location. If you appear
near the top of the list then you have a well optimised site
from a visibility perspective. If not then you need to look
at optimising your website. You can do this through simply
ensuring you are using ‘key’ words on your site. Your IT
provider will be able to assist in this.
Website costs
We know that so many of you are reluctant to spend a
lot of money on your websites, we see many examples of
static one websites that obviously cost only a few hundred
dollars. This is not acceptable in today’s market and
your potential customers will not be impressed. They
want to see more. They expect current photos of rooms
and facilities as well as detailed information on rooms,
facilities, services and local tourist attractions. Generally
sites that are not dynamic will also not attract the search
engines so your visibility reduces.
A good website could cost you around $4-6,000 but
if you want a really good site it will obviously cost you
more. Whilst this might seem like a lot of money it is an
investment you can’t afford NOT to make. In your brief
to your designer you should

seek the ability to change text,
who ‘work’
photos and specials yourself so

and fresh, without being a huge
perform better cost to yourself down the track.
than those that
don’t”
Exposure on other sites
In the old days before the
explosions caused by the
internet, mediums such as AA and Jasons were absolutely
essential in advertising your business, but their importance
has reduced. I would ask you to consider the investment
you make in these and other websites each year. It might
be possible that you could reduce your spend on other
peoples sites and invest that money into improving your
own.
If you can, you are better off getting the business direct
from the customer to YOUR site, rather than pay annual
fees, commissions or be forced to offer ‘sale’ rates from
advertising on other websites.
Online reservations a must
Today an online reservations system has become a must
– it is so convenient for your customers and they know
immediately that they have a booking, the room type of
their choice and the cost. From your perspective you
don’t have to negotiate rate. More and more people are

should be prominent on
your home page but thought should be given to having it
on all pages.
Clutter free home page
Try not to have too much going on your home page – this
is your chance to capture the viewers interest and guide
them easily to other information they require.
Focus should be on the ‘sell messages’ or special
features (such as location, views, wifi etc) that make your
accommodation the ideal place for them to stay.
Visually exciting
You can liven up your site through the use of quality
photography. We can not stress enough the importance
of quality photos. It can literally be the make or break
for someone choosing your business/property as their
destination. We highly recommend hiring a professional,
it may not be as expensive as you think, and worth it.
An idea would be to look at hiring a student as they will
often do it for free in return keeping the photos for their
portfolios. Another fantastic tool to use is google maps on
your location page.
All pages should be consistent in design, keeping in
mind your target audience in terms of colour, font types
and sizes, and general layout. Your website should be
uncluttered, attractive and easy to read and navigate.

hesitate to contact Gordon McGregor on 021 99 88 10

improvement in demand for Tourism industry
Listing your property for sale
It has been a long time coming but it is worth the wait.
We have all endured the last 3 years of uncertainty due to
the Global Financial Crisis and are now starting to see some
light at the end of the tunnel.
Whilst we don’t hold ourselves to be experts in world
economics, I believe Resort Brokers are a fair barometer of
what is going on at the coal face.
Over the last eight to nine months Resort Brokers have
experienced a monumental change in activity within our
industry. This stems from the initial inquiry right through
to settled sales, there is no doubt that there is significant
confidence returning to the market which will reflect in
future sales.
The demand for Motel and Management Rights businesses
continues to grow and Resort Brokers results for the first
quarter of 2012 show that we have achieved a record
number of sales as compared to previous years for the
same period.
Furthermore, we have had a fantastic start to the new
financial year. I can report to you that we have unconditional
contracts for April to the value of $7.75 million and a further
$2.3 million under contract, subject to due diligence, total
deals done so far for the month of April is 11.
We don’t often get to blow our own trumpet but I need to
give credit to our team of salespeople who have continued
to pound the streets and offer you the service to which you
are accustomed. We are also thankful of the services of
Strata Funding, who have sourced finance for many of our
purchasers.
Resort Brokers are excited about the new sales cycle we
are experiencing and the market ahead of us. Whether you
are looking to purchase or sell, please call one of the team
and take advantage of the years of knowledge that we have
between us.
As a follow on from the previous article, I think it is worth
passing on an explanation as to how our success has
come about.
When I quantify those last 11 properties we have sold
it is clear to see that it was a real team effort between
ourselves and the owners of these businesses. Seven of
those sales went according to plan, the others were a lot
more difficult.
Those seven owners were well organised with the relevant
and up to date information that a purchaser and their
professional advisors are going
to require in order to make a
“team effort decision, while the other 4 were
between the not.
Our experience is that when
Vendor and
a purchaser comes to Resort
ourselves”
Brokers, 65% of them want to
purchase now and the other
35% are at an early stage.
The majority are people who have educated themselves
in the market place, all they are focussed on is to narrow
down the choices available to them and commit to buying
a business. It is important at this stage that we, as your
nominated broker, are able to supply quality information
to enable the purchaser to make a decision.
Within a day or two of listing we will give you an itemised

business. We will also critique your accounts and make
recommendations to ensure they are being presented
correctly for sale purposes.

It is important to have
the property looking

Selling tourism property and businesses is a specialised
industry. We very much take the view that it is a partnership,
the team effort between the Vendor and ourselves which

We appreciate the continued support that all of you give to

to you in the future.

FMG – providing specialist advice for your business
FMG is New Zealand’s leading rural insurer with over 100 years of knowledge and
experience. We are also this country’s largest remaining mutual insurer; we’re 100%
New Zealand owned and proud of it.
As a property owner, a key area of cover will be your buildings and chattels.
Our Material Damage policy doesn’t just cover these, it also includes cover for:
Our roots may be in rural New Zealand but we’re not just for farmers. We’ve made a real
commitment to growing our specialist commercial team to provide you with the same
high level of service and expertise our farming clients have come to enjoy.
. Alternative accommodation for your manager following a loss
. Earthquake damage for you swimming pools
. Accidental loss of guests’ goods up to $10,000
. Locks and keys if your keys are lost, or stolen
FMG has a nationwide team of Commercial Managers. At FMG, our focus is on working
with you to understand and manage the risks and challenges facing your business,
which is why our managers can provide an on-site assessment to ensure your entire
operation, from assets to profits, is adequately protected.
If a large loss temporarily closes your doors, it’s important to have financial protection.
You can choose cover from a range of options under our Business Interruption policy
including gross profits, loss of rent and additional increased costs of working. Cover is
also included for up to $10,000 per event each for:
. Financial loss as a result of prevention of access to your premises
. Financial loss caused by a loss of power, gas, water or sewage disposal
. Increased cost of working to resume or maintain business operations
Our service doesn’t stop there; we also have a centrally based team of Commercial
Consultants, dedicated to looking after you. They’re backed up by our knowledgeable
claims team and in-house assessors, so if something does go wrong you can rely on us
to get you up and running again as soon as possible.

of products from buildings, to business interruption, to liability.
