Our Methodology
Our strategy is designed to engage and convert prospective customers.

5. Approach:

generation. Provide an engaging and immersive information flow
that will excite visitors and motivate them to inquire further.
• Immerse interested visitors with 3D interactive tour of each Mangos
group area to connect them deeply with the brand and rich
experience. (Oculus Rift/Facebook 360/Mobile interactive tour)
• Collect marketing data for interested patrons to receive group/event
updates and information via an automated email nurture track.
• Build a social sales process that optimizes each lead that is
generated through the Internet.

6. Buying behaviors have completely changed since the
Internet has become a common part of our lives. In the old
days, a consumer might see an advertisement in a
magazine and go to the store to purchase the item, with
no research in between.
Today, consumers (and event planners) are educating
themselves about products and services, going online to
gather both official and anecdotal information before they
make a purchasing decision.
A strong social and digital presence is critical for your
success across all revenue centers.
