Generic Starter Plan Example
This generic example Starter Plan trip diary has 3 diary entries below that show picture presentation options. Each trip diary has a map that allows you to set the exact location of each diary entry right down to the street level using a road-map, satellite, or hybrid view. Potential customers can click on the your markers to "experience" your business' products and services to attract and upsell customers.The Starter Plan presents your customized branding: your business logo or a picture from a diary entry is placed in the "Your Logo or Custom Picture" box in the top banner; and your business name and tag line are featured prominently at the top of the main column and replace both existing titles. You also have the option of having up to 3 separate diaries to market your business. Unlike the Advanced and Comprehensive Plans, this plan includes TripDiary.com-placed advertising in the right column of the site versus presenting your own fully customized top banner and right column with your marketing materials (e.g, promotions, rewards, company news, etc).Key marketing highlights are: immediately below your business name and tag line, you have an excellent "advertorial" opportunity to showcase your business to prospective customers. You can link to your web site to drive traffic to it and leverage its marketing materials. If you don't have a web site, your trip diary can be used as your business' web site and blog - which you can update and maintain in seconds. "Testimonial" pictures, quotes and voice clips from your customers can readily be included to accelerate sales. You can strengthen relationships with prospects and customers by informing them about TripDiary.com's free consumer service so they can share their vacation experiences with family and friends - and therein naturally market your business to them. And the simple audio narration function allows you to literally speak directly to your audience. (To hear an example, just click the "Voice Clip" icon at the bottom of the first diary entry below.)
