PHUKET firms now have an exciting new way to promote their businesses.
Phuket Post has joined with Mojo Marketing Co Ltd to bring you a fantastic on-line service map of Phuket.
The map, which can be viewed either as a normal map, or as a satellite image, makes it easy for both locals and tourists to find a particular business, or to select a business from a list of categories, ranging from accommodation and education, to medical and religious services, shopping centres and entertainment.
There is also a category for government offices.
Businesses all over Phuket see the map as a great way to boost business, and are flocking to have their details included, such as company profiles, photos, email addresses or a URL link to the company’s website.
In the case of restaurants, past restaurant reviews can also be seen with the swipe of a mouse.
If someone is looking for a particular type of business, they can choose from the whole of Phuket, or from a particular area, and when they click on the business they want, a bubble will pop up giving details of the business they have selected.
For customers, it is a quick, easy and up-to-date way to get exactly what they want, and once they select a business, the map will guide them straight to it.
Mojo Marketing’s managing director, Mark Stoneham, said the mapmakers used hand-held GPS locators to record each company’s exact position on the map.
The service, which costs only 2400 baht per year, plus a one-off 600 baht set up fee, is already up and running
And you don’t have to be a Post advertiser to have your business included on the map.
“This could be a way to offset the downturn that many Phuket businesses are experiencing as a result of the world financial crisis,” said Phuket Post sales and marketing manager, Richard Valentine.
“It is great way for companies to attract new business,” he said.
“When we saw what Mojo were offering, we knew it fitted into the Post’s goals of promoting Phuket and showcasing what the island has to offer.”
“This will be of particular interest to restaurants and property developers as well as the many tour companies here
in Phuket.”
