Increasing numbers of people now purchase all their photography solutions online. However, finding the right make and model for your specific requirements via the internet can be difficult.
The new Wilkinson Cameras website www.wilkinson.co.uk designed by Motionlab seeks to make the online buying process simpler than ever before for customers.
Wilkinson Cameras are one of the North West’s leading stockists of compact cameras, camcorders and other photography-related products and felt that their current website didn’t exhibit their full product range as successfully as their nine superstores.
Following months of hard work and a tremendous amount of dedication shown by our web design team, the new site now beautifully complements their stores as all their products are given their own individual page. Online users can also get a better feel for their chosen product as they can focus on images from numerous angles, giving them more confidence when they buy online.
We all tend to have our favourite brands and the same theory applies when buying a camera. This has been taken on board with the introduction of a ‘brand’ page so that customers can locate their preferred brand within seconds.
Any customers needing online assistance can call upon the ‘live help’ option which will put them in direct contact with a member of Wilkinson Cameras highly qualified team of photography experts who are on hand to help with the decision-making process.
Wilkinson Cameras are renowned for offering customers deals on brands that they wouldn’t be able to find elsewhere. The ‘weekly offers’ page will give them the opportunity to promote such discounts on a regular basis.
The SEO team have applied the finishing touches to the site by ensuring that content throughout is as search engine friendly as possible.
Internet outstrips TV ad spend for the first time
Thursday, October 1st, 2009The rise of the digital age was highlighted yesterday as the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) released their half year figures for 2009, showing that Internet ad spend had overtaken TV advertising for the first time in the UK.
Internet advertising was shown to be the only sector to have grown in the first half of 2009 taking a total of £1.75bn, a 4.6% growth. The figures take into account all forms of online advertising, PPC paid-for search, SEO, display and classified adverts.
The growth in the market further emphasises the importance of ensuring that your advertising campaign is considered, targeted and positioned correctly. The growth in the market suggests a greater dependency for online advertising moving forward with marketers recognising the increased measurability of the internet against other media. This is further highlighted by the overall decrease in advertising spend, across all media, by 16.6% in the first half of 2009.
Reasons for the growth and how to apply it to your business:
There are a number of significant factors to the growth of the sector. Consider these reasons when you are planning your next marketing campaign:
Direct Response: This year has seen marketing budgets being stretched to their very limits, and online has proved its worth, providing more accountability, measuring and clearer targeting.
Display Formats Developing: With the increase of videos being added and viewed online, the internet has become a highly engaging entertainment medium. Growth of 195% year-on-year has shown more and more companies are willing to engage in the interactive multimedia content.
E-commerce Booming: The recession has had a significant impact on consumers purchase decisions, reducing the amount of hedonistic high street purchases as consumers take to the internet to search for the best deals. With a greater amount of choice, supported by price comparison engines and efficient e-commerce systems consumers are switching their attentions more towards online, allowing retailers to expand and improve their online presence.
Broadband Changes: 92% people in the UK now have a broadband speed of over 2MB and 56% of home broadband users now have wireless broadband driving audiences online allowing advertisers to provide customers with richer content in their campaigns.
