Turner Butler are delighted to bring to market a fully-developed content rich network of branded information portals for hundreds of towns and cities in the UK that delivers high-quality visitor, business and community information and services at a local, regional and national level.
This business provides these services via its own portal that delivers uniform, high quality data and related interactive services and e-commerce. The company owns the copyright to the design and content of all the companys web sites, plus the companys highly recognisable brand name has been protected for Internet and media use by trademark.
This business attracts incomes and has the ability to generate further revenues from multiple sources from franchise licences, franchise commissions, business users, consumers and affiliate partners, through the delivery of web services, advertising and e-commerce. Should the franchise model the business has developed be successfully rolled out over the next few years, we are advised there is a potential market for GBP10 Million of sales in a relatively short period of time.
Market research has revealed that there is no comparable product to this busienss on the market. Although every town in the United Kingdom has a website there are currently huge differences in the level of content and quality between regional sites, leading to high levels of visitor frustration and disappointment. There are no quality branded versions, which possess in-depth local knowledge of a standardized nature, which visitors can trust wherever they are seeking information within the UK. This portal has the platform to address this problem.
Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business currently undertakes no paid for advertising and marketing, again due to resource constraints. This is a key area for development to maximise the many opportunities we have already outlined and would include both online and offline marketing, including SEO, to maintain profile and increase unique visitors.
