Lorraine, the owner of All Marine Charters, a charter boat business based in Cairns, found herself struggling with the demands of modern business management. Her business had been predominantly cash-only for a long time, which left her with little experience in handling digital accounts and managing online transactions. Additionally, she had no social media presence, which further limited her ability to reach potential customers and grow her business in an increasingly digital marketplace.
Lorraine discovered the Digital Solutions Program and saw an opportunity to transform her business. Through a series of webinars and personalised one-on-one sessions with digital experts David and Nicky, Lorraine embarked on a journey to enhance her digital skills.
The program’s impact on Driveway Clean and Seal has been significant:
Lorraine’s engagement with the Digital Solutions Program has had a transformative impact on All Marine Charters. Armed with new skills in digital marketing and accounting, she has significantly increased her brand awareness and online presence. Now proficient in running engaging social media accounts, Lorraine has also improved the user experience on her website and successfully listed her business on Google Maps. As a result, she has seen a dramatic increase in both engagement and leads.
“With the help of the mentors and the extensive list of workshops, we now have better engagement on our platforms and more booking inquiries.”
