Yamaha Southern Africa is a dynamic business with an exceptional products range that is well known across the globe. We were asked to develop an online visibility to represent the products and dealerships to prospects and customers. Our aim was to develop a robust website that is easy to navigate due to the diverse product ranges. An effective online marketing strategy was planned and implemented to successfully grow the Yamaha audience. Content management was a crucial part of keeping the website up to date and fresh. This included product updates, blog posts, promotions, videos, social media marketing and SEO.

The image herewith is a representation of what the Yamaha website can look like if we develop it now.

The majority of consumers start their product research journey online. The importance of an effective digital presence is crucial and that is what we achieved with an easy-to-use website and effective online marketing. Due to the nature of new product releases and updates to models, the web properties has to be easy to update.

A website is only one part of a brand’s online experience. Our services cover the full spectrum of online marketing including social media, email marketing, content creation, FB Messenger chatbot marketing, FB Ads, video production, video marketing (a Youtube channel), SEO (search engine optimisation), podcasts and online reputation management. Yamaha Southern Africa can make use of all the above to engage customers and grow the business.

Mobile Responsive

With the majority of web traffic now coming from mobile, the Yamaha website has to be mobile friendly. We optimise the website to make the mobile browsing experience a pleasure, thus making it easy to engage with users and find Yamaha products & services.

Tell the Yamaha Story

The Way Forward:
Users respond well to an authentic experience when visiting a website. The Yamaha story can include a variety of real life ambassadors to tell their stories. Interviews with product owners and professionals using Yamaha products can be turned into a fun podcast series with regular episodes on Motor, Marine, Power, Audio and Music. Associated products and accessories can be featured on the podcasts and videos. By using a chatbot on the website, emails and social media to answer immediate questions, users can engage well with the Yamaha brand. This can be used effectively to build lasting relationships with prospective and existing customers. All content can be repurposed to be used on the website’s blog, as well as on social media.
