Business Objective/ Project objective:
The objective of this project is to evaluate and analyze port fairy caravan and camping park’s existing e-marketing strategy to maximize the profit and bring down the enormous cost involved in online marketing. Key stake holders are to be managed and customer profiles have to be understood. The goal is to finish this project on time and in budget satisfying the key stakeholders, employees and the customers. Finally a report reviewing the digital presence and messaging approaches along with a report presenting ROI and recommendations of new e-marketing strategy and a final presentation needs to be delivered to key stakeholders.
Five stage approach developed by Forbes (2012) with below mentioned points has been used for evaluation:

2. Examination of customer profiles
3. Digital presence review has been given in terms of various recommendations.
4. Evaluation of messaging strategies
5. Review of marketing ROI
Current situation (SWOT analysis):
The existing e-marketing strategy of the caravan and camping park includes online newsletters, community website, community notice boards, a mobile app and advertising on popular social media sites and Google. The plan is to implement e-marketing strategies which will have a bigger impact with a lesser cost.
The SWOT analysis of the existing e-marketing strategy is as below:
Strengths:
1. The destination is unique and has a lot to offer in terms of accommodation offers and food.
2. It has a unique appeal during the festival season such as winter weekend events.
3. Apart from accommodation and food several other activities are available for the tourists visiting the PFCCP.
4. The self contained cabins can accommodate upto 6 people and are not so expensive thus provide value for money.
5. Digital marketing has created awareness about this beautiful place globally thus generating more revenues.
Weaknesses:
1. As seen in past few years there is not much of economic growth in the region so there is not much volume to spend on promotion of tourism.
2. Due to lesser investments the customers have also started losing their interest in the area.
3. There is lack of effective digital tools.
Opportunities:
1. Creation of international awareness through more and more e-marketing strategies will bring in a lot of customers and in return good revenue could be earned.
2. Regulations by the government has softened thus e-marketing strategies could be designed to attract customers.
3. Cross industry marketing can prove to be extremely beneficial.
4. Digital tools can be build to support bookings and planning.
Threats:
1. The travel business is not growing as expected even after involving a huge amount of money in promotion strategies.
2. There is very slow economic recovery both in the country and in traditional target markets.
3. Competition is really strong from other players in the market.
4. Taping into other markets will not be an easy task.
5. The stakeholders may not like the strategy developed.
Opportunity Statement/ Problem outline:
The target market that PFCCP management is seeking is not only to attract travelers to visit places but instead involve them in some activities that would benefit PFCCP.
