Which package is best for you?

Visitmacedonranges.com.au offers visitors a better way to plan a trip to the Macedon Ranges. It’s designed to funnel the ever expanding online tourism market straight to your virtual door (and you do not need to be a VISA merchant to accept the online purchases that may result). Our web marketing initiatives have a long term perspective with your exposure as the highest priority.

The world is changing and people are looking for authentic experiences based on local knowledge and traveller tips. This is reflected in people’s online habits too. People act on reviews of services, rather than just responding to the same old sales pitch. Photos are great way to verify the nature of a experience. By using the suite of tools on offer here, you are giving users the chance to find out that little more about you. The more you use Visitmacedonranges.com to expose those interesting and offbeat aspects of your operations, the more often you may find yourself included in a visitor’s itinerary, which they can then recommend to their friends (these are the social networking tools found in all packages except a basic listing).

But don’t worry! You can choose to use as many or as little of the website’s features as you feel comfortable with. You have the logins to create and manage your own profile on the website – so experiment, have fun and be confident that the money you are investing in visitmacedonranges.com is going to the official Macedon Ranges tourism service to further support tourism in this shire.

The website has been designed to allow different forms of involvement, these are listed below:

1. Basic Listing
2. Listing with Profile - includes extra pictures, extra text and access to the social networking tools (itineraries, reviews, events etc.)
   
3. Listing with Shopping and Profile  - includes extra pictures, extra text and access to the social networking tools (itineraries, reviews, events etc.)

This expands on the simple listing to allow users to click through to your profile page. This offers a step up to 100 words of text, capacity for an image gallery, information on your upcoming events, you can feature in other peoples favourite itineraries and the list goes on!
