Dinner’s On Me Website

July 3rd, 2009 admin

Dinner’s On Me, a new business specialising in offering ‘dining experience’ gift vouchers came to Satellite Creative earlier this year requiring a website to launch and sell their new concept online. Dinner’s On Me are the only company to currently offer this type of service and many prestigious restaurants are already on board.

The website look and feel had to reflect the existing brand positioning and be pitched just right to the target audience, and to prospective restaurants who would want to be part of the scheme. The layout needed to provide the visitor with easy access to information, and clearly communicate the new concept making it easy to browse and purchase.

Satellite were delighted to have the opportunity to be involved in the marketing of such an innovative new concept, and successfully met the tight three week deadline. We designed and built a Content Management System (CMS) with integrated e-commerce and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) functionality.

The website is now being actively used as part of Dinner’s On Me’s marketing strategy, enabling them to roll out their concept to other restaurants/areas. It provides them with a professional and dynamic online presence on which to grow their business across the UK.

“We were very impressed by Satellite’s pitch, proposal and the fact that they understood our requirements so quickly, so we decided to commission Satellite to develop our concept through to a working e-commerce website.” Dave Bolas, Managing Director, Dinner’s On Me

Each year Satellite Creative work to a tight deadline and strict brand guidelines when designing the Wella Professionals yearbook, which promotes professional education courses throughout the year.

We liaise closely with the Wella Professionals marketing department to ensure that the brochure adheres to the stylish look of current worldwide materials, whilst also being tailored for the UK market.

Owing to the continued success of the visually stunning yearbook and a longstanding client relationship, Satellite Creative have gained opportunities for further business to business communications promoting Wella Professionals’ range of training courses, events and annual award ceremonies including Trend Vision, the acclaimed international hairdressing competition.
