Report on _visits to website and proposed marketing strategy___
Introduction
The aim of this report is to comment on the number of people visiting the_____ company website in the last three months and propose a marketing strategy for the next three months._____________________________________________
Findings
Over the last three months, the number of visitors has increased by 650.There are two reasons for the increase. First of all, we launched a newsletter for subscribes. Secondly in May, we ran a competition which was very popular.
With regards to costs, banners have cost 3200 euros a month but very few people seem to visit the website as a result of these.
On the other hand, the newsletter doesn’t cost anything (other than my time) but has helped to increase the number of visitors.
Recommendations
In order to increase this number I would recommend that we continue with the newsletter and run more competitions and quizzes. I also propose that we stop using banners and put more resources into setting up links with other sites to increase the traffic.

Dear Sir or Madam,
Following my recent experience of your hotel, I have decided to
send you some feedback in the hope that you can improve your
service.
I arrived at reception at 6am on 7th November to find there
was no record of my booking. As a result of this I waited 45
minutes. The following day, my two clients and I were delayed
due to the meeting room being doubled-booked. Eventually we
were given another smaller room. Finally, towels were not changed
overnight. Room service explained that this was because of the
hotel’s “environmentally friendly” policy. While I agree with the
sentiment of this policy, I don’t think that changing at least one
towel is unreasonable.
Despite having been very satisfied with your service in the past I
may have to reconsider using your hotel in the future. I would be
grateful to hear any comments you have to make in writing.
Yours faithfully
Dear M…
Thank you for your recent letter regarding your stay at our hotel. I
regret that the experience did not achieve your normal expectations.
I have now spoken to the staff involved and as a result I am in a
position to comment.
Unfortunately, our online booking system has been undergoing some
changes and this may have affected both your booking of a room and
the meeting rooms. I apologise for any delays but please note that all
our meeting rooms are equipped with the same level of services. With
regard to the policy on towels, the hotel feels that it must play its
part in working towards helping the environment and so we have
recently considered a number of ways in which to achieve this.
However, your comments on towels will be raised at our next meeting
on this policy.
Following your letter therefore, I wish to apologise for any
inconvenience caused. I would like to offer you a free two-day
voucher which can be used at this hotel in the future. We look
forward to your next visit and any further feedback you have.
Best regards
Yours sincerely

On this occasion, we would like to refund you $375.
And we look forward to seeing you on board one of our planes in the future.

1In my opinion, air-conditioning is the most useful when I travel. With air-conditioning, I can adjust the room temperature appropriately so that I can fall asleep easily. A good sleep is of vital importance when I travel. A jacuzzi comes the second. After a day’s travel, I will be very tired. The most effective way to get rid of tiredness is to have a good bath. With a jacuzzi, I can relax myself completely and get refreshed soon.
2Dear Mr Rogers,
We are looking for a hotel to host our marketing conference from 23/06 to 26/06, with about twenty people attending. We will need one conference room with a computer for PowerPoint presentations.

Could you please confirm the availability of the rooms, and send me a full quote for the rooms and equipment?
Yours sincerely

4We have just heard that there is going to be a strike by air traffic controllers in Paris next week, so all flights to Paris will be diverted to Lyons. The strike could last only a short time, but there is no garantee of this.
Therefore, we can give you a refund on your ticket, or alternatively make a booking for a latter date.
Please let us know which option you would prefer.
Yours sincerely
