Ft Myers, Florida SCUBA Marketing Case Study

I had a great opportunity fall into my lap a couple of days ago. A local, avid diver contacted me to let me know that he would be travelling to Ft. Myers, Florida this weekend for work, but would be free either Friday afternoon or Monday evening. He was interested in going into a dive center and discussing marketing. We will then put together a basic marketing plan, provide regular support and guidance and see what we can do in about 5 or 6 months.

So, if you are a dive center owner or employee in the Ft. Myers, Florida area, can be available Friday afternoon AND Monday evening (since we’re not sure exactly which will work out yet) and are interested in having your marketing efforts analyzed and some one-on-one guidance given, please fill out the form below.

The results of the interview will be posted on the site as well as the action plan. The action plan will be easy, even for the non-tech-savvy and I will provide support along the way. At the end of our little experiment, we will publish results. You must agree to these terms to be considered. The cut-off to sign up is Thursday evening. If no one signs up, our “reporter” will pick at random.

So, if you’re interested, sign up here:

  • Reviewing the Traffic Funnel

    To fully optimize your use of social media, you have to look at it as a funnel. The large, open end of the funnel is your social media presence. It is your job to drive traffic from all of those sources into the small end of the funnel. That small end of the funnel can be a class, a product or a group of products. The bigger the large end of the funnel, the more traffic you can drive your way. In other words, the more social media accounts you have, the larger your funnel.
