elcome to the Yachting.vg monthly magazine. The pri-
mary purpose of this magazine is to present yachts for
brokerage and yachts for charter from clients using our
yachting solutions. In order to provide them with a com-
petitive advantage, we decided to integrate our online plat-
form called The Yachting Network with the Adobe inDe-
sign workflow. The end result being that all the listings from
clients using our online yachting solutions are as well included
in our monthly magazines. It brings them maximum exposure
as well as brand recognition. We believe that there is still a need
for a printed version to allow readers to be able to read offline while traveling for
example. Furthermore, it allows our clients to reach potential buyers who are not
always willing to stay a long time in front of a computer screen in order to review
luxury yachts for sale or charter. A printed version still has its charm and provides
added value to our clients.
The Yachting
Network has local
websites in all eu-
ropean countries.

MARKETING
Given the increasing reach of
social networks, it represents an
amazingly large audience for
your website content. Even when
you’re creating content outside of
a social network on your own site,
you should strive to encourage
sharing. Cross-promoting content
and driving traffic from your web-
site to your social networks ac-
counts (and vice versa) is an im-
portant part of a smart inbound
marketing strategy.
However, when marketing luxury

sent your serivces and yachts in a
more formal setting. The inquiries and contacts information are
the key to increase your customer base. You
need to make sure that you will receive all
inquiries without failure or risk of interception
by a third party company. A well structured
inquiry system will send a notification to the
reservation agents and save all inquiries in
the database or CRM system as a backup.
To increase luxury yachts occupation rate,
a dedicated mini site coupled with an on-
line brochure and linked to social networks
accounts makes wonders in terms of clearly
presenting the yacht features and ameni-
ties. Direct contact and reservation forms
will enable the clients to get in touch with a
dedicated account manager able to pre-

of services.

central listing system does not offer

While most central agency listings will provide
a single page of information about a yacht
with a few pictures, a dedicated site will allow
you to include videos and image galleries of
the yacht. You will be as well able to present
the crew in a more interactive way.
Clients chartering luxury yachts are used to
a high level of personal service and will be
more tempted to go with a more personal
approach and contacts rather than search-
ing through a full list of yachts in order to
compare all features or amenities.

ing services for luxury yachts, you
must always take into account the
singular needs of each client and
ultimately assess the level of servic-
es they want to find when select-
ing your company for their yacht
reservation.
Providing a highly responsive and
customized service will set your
company above the competition.

longer need a user to subscribe to
your newsletter. While you man-
age your own facebook groups ,
you can post automatically news
to the groups and invite all new
friends automatically to join the
groups through the APIs.
By carefully planning a number of
facebook groups centered around
your company’s activities (broker-
age, charter), you can dramatically
enhance the daily communication
sent to the facebook groups by
postings automatically random
yacht listings, special offers, price
reductions....

nect to your site using their facebook user id , you give
them the possibility to share information and recommend
other users to connect with you.
On the new site www.yachting.vg, we are currently ex-
perimenting with several new functionalities of the Graph
API.
Integrating your site more tighly with external social net-
works will allow you to communicate faster new informa-
tion to be given to followers and groups. You will be able to
provide a constant flow of information and news through
automated tasks. When users visit your website, your can
control the information given to them as well as getting
their feedback on specific polls or through a comment
system.
You can inform your groups, friends and followers that
the newsletters generated every month is available on your
INBOUND TRAFFIC
NETWORKS
website.
The important point in this social
network integration with your
website is to keep the channels
open and regularly communicate
to provide new information and
news.
Readers will be more likely to visit
your site on a regular basis if they
get weekly news from your site.
This could be fastidious if you had
to do it manually , but by creating
automated tasks to post automati-
cally on a regular basis for exam-
ple a new yacht listing or price
reduction offer, you keep the flow
going.

50. Longitude 64 Brokerage
For Sale: AZIMUT 50, 2007 - 615 000 Euros - Location: Turkey
This Azimut 50 is in “As New” Condition. This is the 2 cabin version of this very popular yacht. This Azimut
50 was purchased in 2007 by the current owner and has only 200 hours (80 hours of which were for
sea delivery from Savona, Italy). She was never chartered and always well maintained by the current
owner. Since it was purchased in 2007, the current owner added a Zodiac tender in 2008 and a new
Yamaha outboard in 2010. No expenses were spared in equipment and options at the time of pur-
chase. Hull maintenance and engines servicing were done every year. The Twin diesel were serviced
in May 2010 and will be serviced again in May 2011. A mooring is available in a first class Marina. This
Azimut 50 is located on the Mediterranean, in Western Turkey..
