New Hoole Hall Hotel Website Launched

Hoole Hall Logo The new Hoole Hall Hotel website, architected by Brookfield, went live this week. Hoole Hall based in Chester is a “stunning 18th Century Manor House that combines a perfect blend of past and present offering outstanding luxury and charm with a modern contemporary twist.” Having stayed there I fully agree.

The site was built by Wired Media and as expected in this day and age, is a fully content managed solution.

The challenge ahead will be to develop and implement a full online marketing strategy that   promotes Hoole Hall above the competition.

Online Retailing - Christmas 2008

Prepare_for_xmas The following article on the Retail Commerce Blog provides solid advice for those of you involved in online retailing. The run up to Christmas will be interesting with some prominent retailer’s already forecasting that sales will be down. Ironically, Amazon has estimated that they will only achieve sales of between $5 - $6 Billion and not the $7 billion predicted!! You’ll notice the article is from the taxpayers media centre, the good old BBC (Buggers Broadcasting Catastrophe). For those of you who wake-up to Radio 4 and are not already hanging from a tree, don’t let the gloom merchants get you down – remember the dot.com crash!
