Kia Orana everyone and welcome back to our show.
Exciting news for you all, we have launched a brand new website for Chantal’s Concierge. Thank you to the New Zealand Government and Business Link Pacific via the Chamber of Commerce Cook Islands for the $5,000.00 NZD adaptation grant that concierge received earlier this year. This grant money was forwarded to Haydn (as you know his specialty is IT) and he has remodeled a new marketing and promotional website for concierge.
Our business direction has had to change here at Concierge, it was my accountant Iokopeta in January 2020 that sat me down and said, “Chantal, moving forward you will need to figure out a more efficient way that Concierge can earn its revenue. The way it is structured now is not working. Staff wages & telecommunications expense heavy and the earning power with the commission rates on tours and activities is not working. Oh and you are 17k in the red!!!.” OMG. My Concierge team had worked really hard that year 2019. But the accounting numbers were telling me a sad numerical story. So what to do next? How to do next?
Then Covid happened in March 2020, boarders closed and it paused my having to think about this problem at the time. 2 months later Haydn and I started the weekly Kia Orana Podcast show in May 2020. Recording locals and businesses around Rarotonga.
Since January 2022, the boarders are open and international flights arriving daily. We are welcoming back visitors to our country our shores our paradise.
We all know the saying, “I have to do something different to get a different result.”
So Haydn and I have built this new efficient mobile friendly website and we are in the process of listing different categories, such as Accommodations, Dining, Services, Activities and our Podcast show. We have created an advertising platform where you can scan a QR code on your mobile and search on one site everything that is available. We embedded all the specific podcast audios also into the categories, giving you a deeper engagement with the vendor. The site is easy to use on a phone and not complicated to navigate around. You get directions, a direct link to their website and you can also call the vendor/client straight from the website on your mobile phone.
Chantal’s Concierge is making it easier for you! Enjoy everyone and see you soon.
