Why we are concerned with word of mouth marketing for local businesses? Because word of mouth is the main tool for selling (Nielsen 2012). To date, however, those who sell through word of mouth does not know his “Brand Advocates”, ie customers who, through their advice, are influential on the buying behavior of friends and followers. AmicoNostro, through its web application / mobile, allows each local business to find out which customers are influential and encourages operators to “transform” their customers in new “Brand Advocates” in order to increase the online network of trusted word of mouth.

BasilicataBASILICATA a buy tourism online

www.basilicataturistica.com

The Agenzia di Promozione Territoriale is an instrumental organization of the Regione Basilicata active in the promotion of the region. basilicataturistica.com is a project begun in 2012 aimed at creating an aggregate that positions itself at the center of a more articulated network: an access door to a system that comprises, other than aptbasilicata.it, a blog about events and news, a site on cultural patrimony, 4 foreign sites, 8 mini-sites for online themed vacation booking and profiles of the principal social media and media-sharing sites (FB, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, Flickr, Issue etc…).

The philosophy behind this project is the overcoming of the spasmodic search for “numbers” and statistics on a single site in favor of a wider objective: that which needs to increase is not the virtual visitors of a portal but rather real visitors to Basilicata.

Basilicata—in the eyes of today’s visitors, in travel réportages, in the impressions gathered by the artists, writers, and filmmakers who have known her—is a land frozen in time, that seems to challenge the laws of the gravity of history, a curious mélange of ancient and modern, a kaleidoscope of landscapes and environments, whose character is essentially that of poetry.

Consorzio LaudemioConsorzio Laudemio a buy tourism online

www.laudemio.it

In the Middle Ages Laudemio was the flower of the harvest, the part destined for the lord’s table.
Today the Laudemio trademark is the ambassador on the tables of connoisseurs all over the world of the great oil producing art of Tuscany and of its masterpieces.
Laudemio began in the mid nineteen eighties, when a team of forward-thinking growers, custodians of some of the noblest olive crus in the region, signed a pioneering pact for excellence in production, well ahead of national and European legislation. This pact, now as before, is based on strict rules and quality control.
History, tradition, genuineness, respect for the territory and the environment are the principles guiding the whole Laudemio production process, from the harmonious management of the olive orchards to the selective harvesting of the fruit at its perfect stage of ripening, from the crushing of the olives to the mixing and rigorously cold extraction, right up to the bottling and careful storage of the oil.
Special control bodies and two very strict tasting committees make the final selection: only the best extra virgin olive oil from the best producers, a perfectly genuine, complete oil, with an extraordinary organoleptic personality will be able to boast the noble and sought-after Laudemio trademark.
This is why every drop of Laudemio is the unique and inimitable expression of the fruit, the place, time and touch of the individual producer who gave it life.
The ideal companion of quality gastronomy, powerful, precious, excellent, naturally rich in intense polyphenols and fragrant aromatic substances, enclosed in a glass casket with an austere and elegant design which highlights its shining reflection, Laudemio is the true quintessence of the fragrances and flavours of the Tuscan hills.

A product by Paesaggio&Sviluppo: Paesaggio&Sviluppo is a spin off company of Florence University that is currently being formed and in an incubation period at Florence University Incubator.
Among our activities there is a destination marketing project on the web aiming at developing a tourist destination through geo-located landscape points of interest.

Core idea: In tourism landscape is generally considered as a panoramic view of high aesthetic and emotional value. For this reason it often stands just as a beautiful surrounding while visiting a territory. However the landscape, according to the European Landscape Convention, can be an important instrument available to tourists interested in discovering environmental, historical, cultural features of a territory. Our project aims at making this potential real placing the landscape at the core of a sustainable tourism development politic which is competitive thanks to the use of advanced technologies and innovative marketing strategies.

The project: The core service of this project is PLAN YOUR TRIP IN…
This service provides all information necessary to organize a trip using a platform which gives an overview of the territory, pointing out the tourist highlights (landscape and culture as well as services) accessible through geolocated points. This service gives the tourist the opportunity to plan his/her trip choosing between suggested or make-your-own itineraries according to his/her interests. The tourist receives not only information about the itinerary but also discounts on the services he/she decides to include in the itinerary by the activities partner of this project.
The service works thanks to an innovative business plan based on the relationship between the tourist, the local business and our company, creating a self sustained virtuous process that produces economic benefits for all actors.
The economic benefits generated by the service, thanks also to its widespread distribution, allows to offer shares through a profitable crowd funding model to public and private bodies as well as local associations who have the opportunity to promote the territory while gaining direct profits.

When the idea was born to create an application, the TED (Tourism Experience Design) Project was in its beginnings and the main hurdle was supplying users and tour operators the necessary tools for conveying tour packages based on the preferences and needs of the user. The result was the creation of two applications, with a synergy between them, which have guaranteed the user the opportunity to build his own trip, and a support tool for tour operators. The first App, mainly geared toward business-to-consumer, seeks to supply the user with a system capable of showing the characteristics of every experiential category, and able to navigate photos correlating to information about each single locality. The second App is a repository of hpub conceived for gathering really and truly interactive books in one place, with a lot of videos and a photo gallery. Tour operators, but also single users, can download itineraries and preferred destinations from within the App, entering directly in contact with Tuscan accommodation facilities.

The project was initially conceived for the various emerging and important-to-capture markets, such as those of China, Brazil and India, and for consolidated markets in need of innovative and interactive formats such as America.

UmbriaUmbria a buy tourism online

The UmbriaApp project.
Umbria App was born from the branding strategy that the Region of is carrying out. The objective is to eventually have Umbria perceived as a brand in order to draw benefits in economic terms and for industrial, artisanal and quality enogastronomic production.
The second exigency is to position the Umbria brand in dynamic segments of the tourism market by way of the use of new technologies.
These combined elements, together with others of a different character, make up a branding strategy. Regional development, precisely.
The innovation on which the idea is based.
The reference is the new market determined by the diffusion of tablet use. A market in strong expansion by virtue of new products and technologies that are modifying behaviors and structural changes of the contemporary business. Since this year, South Korea does not print any more textbooks but has promised every student a tablet. Because of this the next step is the transformation into digital of publication products, E-books and products that close the circle between portability and desktop consultation.
The UmbriaApp project keeps to the strategic assets on which the projection of images of Umbria are based—shows, culture, events, environment, quality of life for our resident community. To each asset there corresponds one or more Apps to be accessed directly or by way of an App container, a real innovation in designing the “UmbriaApp system”. The Apps have a strong design component, not of graphics, and an evolution of innovative technological character for each single product. All of it developed by companies in our region, made up of young owners who accepted and won a bet on the future of their land.
