Smokies Web Quarterly Newsletter - October 29, 2001

The following lists all our services—everything you need for a successful web presence. To the best of our knowledge, we are the only area provider who offers such a complete and effective package of services.

Smokies Web Services
Smokies Web delivers a complete range of professional services --we add new ones as they are needed to stay competitive--developed to provide you with an effective and economical web presence. We believe the future of your Smokies business is online—primarily because the web is proven to be the most cost effective means of reaching your market, but also because a growing number of consumers are relying on the internet to plan their vacations. Smokies Web has been successfully competing in the Smokies market for over 5 years—a lifetime on the web—and we utilize our accumulated skills and knowledge to make sure we and our clients stay ahead of the competition. We now offer all of the following services:

Pay For Performance
Are you tired of spending your advertising dollars on ineffective, disappointing marketing efforts? Would you rather pay only if you get results? Smokies Web is so confident we can deliver visitors and ?bottomline? results for your business that we guarantee to deliver specific results or you don?t have to pay us!

Online Booking
Set your company apart from the competition, and increase profit margins, by marketing your properties, booking reservations, and accepting deposits, online, 24 hours a day. We can provide you with a fully customizable, secure, online reservation system that will work with your current web site and can be implemented immediately to service your clientele without the need of an in-house server, T-1 lines, or expensive maintenance. Includes a full accounting system, housekeeping, maintenance functions, and more. An added bonus: if you choose our affiliate to provide online reservations capability, you can also be included in our publications and convert our traffic directly to online bookings!

Guaranteed Search Engine Results
We?re so confident in our ability to get your web site on the first page of major search engines, that we guarantee our results! If we don?t perform, you don?t pay. And when we perform, this service pays for itself time and time again. In addition, we will assist you in choosing the correct search terms for your business, and submitting your site to the major search engines effectively.

Publications
Need more traffic to your web site? Smokies Web publishes 9 online guides specifically designed to push traffic to your site. Publications range from RodsGuide.com, the #1 overall Smoky Mountains portal site, to sites specifically aimed at the vacation rental companies (such as eSmokyMountains.com), and to wedding services portals (GatlinburgWedding.com and WeddingsintheSmokies.com). These sites collectively receive thousands of vistors daily, which we push to your web site.

Design/Redesign
Smokies Web designs effective new sites that can be found in the major search engines and introduce your service to consumers. We can also accomplish a redesign for an outdated, ineffective web site. The world wide web has changed dramatically over the past few years. A site that was acceptable only two years ago might no longer perform effectively in the major search engines or be as presentable as consumers expect. We are available for consultation to identify the strengths and weaknesses of your existing site.

Web Site Hosting
Our super-fast server, with limited accounts, means your web site is fast loading for visitors. Our secure servers are monitored 24 hours a day, which is why we have experienced 99.9% uptime over the past 5 years. Our server provides you with all the tools you?ll need to run your business online.

Professional Stats
Have you wondered how many people visit your site; how long they stay; and how they found you? Do you know the difference between ?hits? and ?unique visitors?? If Smokies Web hosts your web site, you get easy, 24-hour access to professional-quality statistics that actually help you make business decisions such as where to budget your advertising dollars.

Site Maintenance
Smokies Web has been maintaining Smoky Mountains related web sites on the World Wide Web for over 5 years. We know that fresh and up-to-date content is needed to please your clients and web site visitors, and guarantee that changes to your web site will be executed quickly and correctly.

Site Self-Management Tools
Smokies Web now offers you the ability to edit and maintain your own website right from your desktop computer. There is no need to purchase expensive software, or a new web site, in order to use these tools. Naturally, you can also continue to exercise the option of having Smokies Web maintain your site.

Domain Names
Are you looking for a good first, or supplemental, domain name that helps deliver traffic to your business? Smokies Web can register new domains at a discount. In addition, we sell premium domain names selected to do well in the search engines, and we even lease established domains with existing traffic so you get finely-targeted traffic immediately.

e-Commerce
Smokies Web can provide any eCommerce solution you need, including a web site to display your products or services, shopping cart feature, credit card approval, and secure server. Combined with our pay-for-performance promise and supplemented with advertising in our online publications, you can have an extremely effective online presence.

Digital Photography
Are the images on your site dark, out-of-focus, disappointing? Smokies Web uses the latest digital technology, lighting, and techniques to provide high-resolution, well composed, digital images necessary for that good ?first impression? you need to appeal to site visitors.

Image Scanning & Optimization
