How to give visibility to a local business on the Internet? We analyze the hand of Luis Manzano, OkGranCanaria.

How to undertake a successful online business
How to undertake a successful online business


Does it make sense to start a business very focused and locally based Internet?

Very specific niche market and have little sense in terms of the effort you put into it, both in time and costs, and profitability you get. In my case I was able to greatly reduce costs and optimize the most of my income for the project to be profitable.

Is there finally sufficient Internet penetration in Spain to take in almost any field based on the net?

I do not know if in all areas, as this is a function of the product or type of business that you head, but that for every business there is a strategy to get the maximum return on the Internet.


Where did the idea to OkGranCanaria?

I have over 15 years undertaking tourism-related businesses and internet. During the first half of 2000 I focused on promoting national hotels and the creation of systems of reserves for such establishments. Since 2006 I began to develop various projects for companies of leisure of Gran Canaria and in 2008 I decided to group leisure companies to promote them together, offering tourists a range of options for quality leisure to enjoy during your vacation. The selection of companies is exquisite, based both on the fulfillment by each of the companies of the rules and customer service.


What has been the hardest step in the whole process of creating the concept of OkGranCanaria?

To agree to companies to work together. In fact, OKGranCanaria began as a consortium of leisure, a company owned directly by businesses. In fact the idea was good and not in society we included companies that were direct competitors with each other for there to be more collaboration. But solidarity between companies is difficult to achieve as many of them only want to participate in actions that only benefited them directly.

All this led me to take a radical turn to the company to buy all the shares and be the one who sets the direction of the company and make the decisions. There are no negotiations between the companies. I am now to establish the business lines and actions to develop and are the companies which adhere to our campaigns.

OkGranCanaria still has the vocation to group companies for synergies that enable companies to reach sites that alone could never get or develop projects that would not be profitable to create a single company. We focus on things that really bring value to companies or by our contacts or by our knowledge. So, we have developed several lines of interest to business and leisure:

In Gran Canaria marketing of leisure activities in major hotel chains on the island and sales through our website (sales leader in leisure activities in Gran Canaria)

Booking system: we create the reservation system CloseBooking that he might be the best reservation system on the market, integrating the most important elements of selling hotel chains and airlines and the most attractive features of the big online shops, to suit singularities of entertainment companies.

Club entertainment companies: we help more than 700 entertainment companies of all Spain through our site providing information and specific training for member companies on issues related to the marketing and increased sales, mainly on the internet.


Do you plan to expand the concept to other regions?

Yes. In fact we took a year working on our big bet, Shortplans.com a portal that will be completed in less than a month, and in which we have integrated all the knowledge, developments and contacts we have acquired in recent years. In the first phase of launching the moment we have incorporated excursions in areas of Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Costa del Sol, Seville, Granada and Lanzarote. Our goal is to expand the portal in both types of activities and areas in which we work. We hope to be the portal number 1 in the sale of leisure activities in Spain in less than a year.

The mission of this site will remain the same as we have in Gran Canaria but nationally, "offer tourists and residents in the area the most valuable entertainment experience at the best price"

Digital trends and market studies online

Millennials and internet. Internet and Millennials. The generational indissoluble binomial that has cornered all sociology-technological interpretations of recent years some time found a new successor. These are none other than the digital natives or Generation Z; those born between cables and web domains and can not separate their minds from the advantages of a purely digital existence. But what about companies? How they have faced the fact that millions of users will start to use (anything) exclusively through the network? What are your strategies when facing the onslaught of ones and zeros?

Digital trends and market studies online
Digital trends and market studies online
The study of digital trends born alongside the .com boom, although the years have been those who have confirmed to this methodology as the backbone of many companies. It is of such importance that, how could it be otherwise, there are organizations whose business model is the proper study of digital trends. Seats and settled on this paradox, some of these companies have come to hold the indispensable category. Perhaps one of the most important is Trend watching.com, perfect "the snake that bites its tail" example. That makes? Well, neither more nor less than to study trends of digital users. With lots of data. Millions of them. With any filter you could want. With a presence in some 180 countries.
But why is it so important to study digital trends? Well, in part, by what we said at the beginning: the new generations think in binary code. His parents also are more than suited to a digital environment that pervades all business areas. The fragmented consumption is demographically losing ground to the vastness of the Internet. The companies, meanwhile, has been left with no other than surrender and adapt to the evidence. Today, users adopt very dynamic consumer trends. This means that, for no apparent order, any customer tends to buy on-line, information on the internet, social networks or review presented in the stores themselves as easily. And above all, in a complementary manner.
So, we make purchases traditionally are increasingly influenced by research previously conducted on the Internet. This is coupled with the show-rooming trend that works the other way, in which consumers go to physical stores to see products and then buy them online so or cheaper establishments.Importance of social networks and smartphones
This complexity in consumer habits, characterized by the use of multiple channels when optimizing purchasing, has been reinforced by new trade dynamics in social networks and facilities offered by mobile terminals when purchasing products . Facebook and Twitter have become places where both users and businesses share information and opinions about the products. In turn, in mobile applications such as smartphones exist Shop Savvy, to analyze and locate products online stores and establishments where you can buy. Also compare prices, shows user reviews and looking deals and discounts on scanned items. All this makes the transitions between online and offline purchasing channels, something that companies have in mind and try to strengthen through more assertive strategies with customers.Latest trends in 2015
Among the most notable trends this year found the lack of patience of users to wait in line. Time is money, and every time we are less willing to be part of our acquisition cost. So, we look for solutions that streamline our purchases, which have incorporated such varied companies as Starbucks or Apple through applications.
Other behaviors that are taking center stage in this 2015 is to share expenses. So, many mobile applications that allow users to access data and tools to help them optimize and improve the allocation of costs on purchases or consumption of services such as restaurants or entertainment venues have emerged.
Finally, include the development of programs that reward personal development of users. This involves offering customers numerous advantages and access to special services if they meet certain personal milestones. The commitment of companies with improving individual users reduces the perception of a brand focused only for their own benefit.
