Thanks everyone!

Here are my notes from today's meeting.  Please add to it if I missed something.  Great meeting I thought we covered some great stuff.

Meeting for Wander ways website and advertising.
 
We started the meeting by going over an outline that Marisa put together for content and a site outline
 
Marisa also did research on marketing for our target audience and the different marketing targets that we need to build for.
- We need to make the page for a target audience of the older generation but we need to make sure that the tool and client websites can cater to millennials  and gen xers as they make up about 3/4 of the population of the current campers and prefer technology to talking to someone.
- Marisa also sent out the outline of her research for us to look over.
- We discussed intro verbiage and how we want parts of the tool to be marketed on the website
- We looked over the different benefits Marisa showed us and will add to them if we think of anything else.
- We also talked about the about us page and how to hook in powered by adilas
 
Chuck covered some research he did on some of our competitions websites and selling features
We discussed
- What we liked and disliked about each site and what we would like to see form selling ideas on the websites what to avoid and style.
- We talked about pop ups and list building strategies and decided to include a pop up (main modal that would go away if refused and set a cookie so as to not return) and to have a small one on the side of the page to help with list building. 
-- We want to make sure that all pop ups are both respectful or useful.  For example we talked about how some make you feel "dumb" for not wanting to sign up for their newsletter, or how on some sites pop ups can be overly pushy or annoying.  We want to make sure we are still getting list building but that we are respectful and help the client feel they can trust us.
- Marisa is also going to look into what we can offer in exchange for a potential customers email and content information for help with list building and sales leads.  For example a free ebook on how to maintain or run a campsite.
- We also talked about call to actions on websites
- We also discussed what we can do for testimonials and case studies and how some of them fail (bad website from the client giving a testimonial).
- We decided that we liked ideas from the roverpass website on sales and ideas on style from the campterra example website.
- For color portfolio we are looking at using colors from the wanderways tool to help tie in the website and show off our tool as well
- Danny wanted to make sure on the website we use the verbiage benefits instead of features to help speak to the client on a more personal level.
- Chuck sent out the links to the different websites he researched to help the team with ideas

Email from Chuck to the team...

I had a couple of thoughts when I went over the script (referring to a script sent over by Marisa and Danny for advertising). 

On Danny's he took out "as long as you have WI FI", I think we do need to make sure they know that they need internet as we may be targeting some of the older generation and it's not available in some camping locations.  But we should make sure they know need internet, maybe we could say "anywhere internet access is available or cell/satellite access with internet service".  Also on the mobile compatible, we have talked about the Auto Check-in feature, but that wouldn't be available until we have a build out for the front customer end as well, not just the user end that we are currently developing, though I do think this would be nice to advertise what features we are seeing in the near future such as online reservations, auto-check-in and the like.  We may also want to mention the up sales features as a way to help them build their business.  For equipment we could use "works on any device, PC, Mac or mobile Android and IOS, use what you already have!" 

One last thought on the mobile side and this may be a bit out there, as I think it would require an actual app, maybe we could make an app that could be used by anyone using the camp adilas network so that we could integrate geo-location for auto check in.  For example.  Camp site A uses our application and when the customer pulls into the campsite, because we have access to geo-location the app would prompt the customer if they would like to auto check in for their reservation or let the user know that they have a customer coming soon so they know that they need to meet them to escort them.  Aside from a cool feature this could also help with advertising, any customer that has been to a site that is using our tool (tol) and then they visit a site that doesn't and suddenly they can't auto check in (how inconvenient!) they may tell the campsite about how cool it was to auto-check in at the last place they stayed (yea free advertising!), integrate into the app to share the tool with someone and then they can tell the campsites about it.  We could help push the app by having an email sent to the customer when they make a reservation with a prompt to download the app and then list out the features they would get by using the app " such as search for campsites (which our users would like) and reserve online, auto check in, pay online, and maybe even some customer loyalty programs.  I know this would be down the road, but I thought it would be some cool features.

These notes came from Chuck on 11/13/19. Just recording them for documentation.

I had a meeting with Marisa and Danny today at 11-12.

Here are my notes from the meeting.

Overall they are very impressed and happy with the new colors and setup of the current layout
 
Updates that I need to do
 
• Marisa is going to think on a better verbiage for the split sites setting.
• Need to add a setting for a waitlist for those who have already created a reservation but want a different site if it comes available.  For example if they are currently in a site with only electricity but would also like one with water and sewer hookups  if it comes available
• A way to merge duplicate records (in case there was as misspelling on a record) - this isn't an essential launch feature but would be nice to have
• Add (FT) behind RV icons on sites to be more specific
• When the check in or out button on sites is clicked it will launch an invoice so the user can see if the customer has a balance and needs to pay in which case it will go to a payment option, or if the customer is paid in full the user can look over the invoice and then email or print an final invoice for the customer.
• I want to redo the layout for the user setting as it's confusing
 
At the end of the meeting Marisa was asking a time table for completion as she is excited to sell it!  I told her "maybe spring, and that I really didn't know".  - hope I wasn't overstepping on that :)  she is really excited to get it out.

Marisa, Danny, and Chuck had a great meeting. See attached for new PDF's.
