Why E-communications Planning?

Developing a strategy and written plan to enhance your organization's online presence

To develop a robust, compelling, interactive experience online for your stakeholders – one that meets their expectations as well as their needs – demands careful planning. These days, the power of the Internet can seem daunting, prompting questions such as:

• What is the best solution to help us manage our website long term?
• Which of our business processes could be handled more effectively (and cost-effectively) online?
• How can we integrate our online and offline communications more seamlessly?
• Which Internet technologies are right for our staff, our board, and our clients?

That's where Verve comes in.

Our E-communications Planning service offers you the benefit of a team approach and expert guidance. Verve's team of consultants, web designers, producers, and developers works together to craft a plan to meet your goals. We ensure that the plan fits the reality of your organization's capacity and lays the groundwork for future growth. And best of all, Verve has the in-house talent to make the plan a reality.

What Is an E-communications Plan?

Verve's E-communications Plan is a comprehensive document that identifies ways you can make optimal use of online technologies – including the web, intranets/extranets, email, e-commerce, web 2.0 tools and more – for both your internal and external communications needs. The Plan provides a detailed strategy to help your organization enhance its online presence, thereby increasing revenue, clients/membership, and more.

Verve follows a time-tested process to conduct a situation analysis for your organization, outlining specific challenges and opportunities that may affect your online presence. Then we provide a detailed set of recommendations, a timetable, and a concrete "Internet Action Plan" for you to follow. If you wish, Verve can also give you a proposal and budget to implement the plan once it's approved.

You'll walk away from the process knowing exactly what to do to enhance your online presence, and exactly what it will cost to do it.
