Hinweis der Redaktion
Marketing control is essential to ensure effective marketing strategies for achieving company’s overall objectives. Various evaluation methods have been developed to monitor the effectiveness of marketing strategies implemented for Uniqueness. Post-tour questionnaire will be distributed to the customers for gathering useful feedbacks. It provides comprehensive information about their satisfaction towards the tours, suggestion for the itineraries and identifies effective partnerships as they have to state through which means they know about and join our local tours. Apart from gathering information from customers, internal audits are vital. The internal audits include reviewing monthly sales, checking monthly website traffic and monthly budget control. Website traffic indicates the effectiveness of our e-marketing strategies like Facebook/WeiBo promotion and Yahoo searching priority. Sales and budgets are strictly monitored to assure they are keeping within estimated range and moving towards the objectives. Monthly control will be carried out as newly established business would have higher uncertainty and any inefficiency can be immediately recovered through adjusting the marketing components.
