Cost
(opinion) |
Initial
cost is very high but offer a reasonable rate with repeat purchase |
Prices
are very reasonable considering what the service provides the consumer with
(day long adventure, dinner, overnight stay, etc.) |
Initial
cost is very low as they offer a very reasonable rate, package prices also
cater to the player that has there own equipment |

SWOT |
One
of the largest strengths of this site is that it is offered in two formats. A
weakness is that the Html format is “weak” it is over simplified to the point
of boredom. This leaves an opportunity to change this and put a little more
effort into it. A threat is that if they do not update the site people will
more to more entertaining web sites. I would also improve this site by
selling gift certificates online that can be paid for and then printed off
from home. I would also use streaming video to show bungee movies or clips. |
The
greatest strength of this site is that it covers all that hyak has to offer.
As all of the adventure packages are broken up into their own pages. The
largest weakness of this site is that it is fairly boring compared to other
sites. It is meant for action oriented outdoor enthusiasts and it should
cater to their faster pace. I would add video clips and brighter colors and
more action type words to motivate the customer. There is a lot of opportunity
for this company to adapt this web site to attract the fun loving extreme
sports enthusiast that will be attracted by the flashy web site. |
One
of the largest strengths of this site is that it has an online booking
function where you can book your game times online. A weakness of this site
is that there is an online store but you cannot purchase online. There is an
opportunity to sell product and ship it directly to the customer through
online sales. The site has many product advertisements but there is no method
of purchase for the interested consumer. The threat is that they are loosing
potential sales and other online stores are receiving the revenue that they
could be generating. |
