Star on line – and an offer.

September 13, 2017 September 2017 No Comments

The Martinborough Star team have always been confident that their Star on line was being well read. Figures provided by Google for the twelve months August 20016 to August 2017 prove this confidence to be well founded. In the period 5,145* people visited the Star on line website reading a total 12,249 pages.
79% of the readers were returning for a second time and spent considerably more time during the second visit .
It was no surprise that 77% of the visits were from within New Zealand – 4.939 during the period.
The largest number of overseas visits to the site were from the United States with 331. This interest ties in with Tourism NZ figures which show a 26% increase in tourists from America in the last twelve months. Australia was next greatest number at 262, then UK 151, Canada 68, Germany 50, Italy 40 and India 31.
A reasonable assumption is that if people go to the trouble of looking up information on a recognised tourist destination they are most likely considering a visit.
As a service to local businesses providing for tourists the Star team is offering advertising spots on the website for the princely sum of $25 a year! The advert can include photo and text.
The offer is open to accommodation providers, restaurants, vineyards, gift shops, cycle hire, indeed any business reliant on visitors.
At $25 a year why would you not be in? Interested? just contact David Kershaw : phone 021 625 327 or: david@pandk.co.nz
