Kirk Communications Helps Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside Sharpen Competitive Edge With New Website

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 19, 2009 -
Portsmouth, N.H. – June 24, 2009 – Kirk Communications (www.kirkcommunications.com), a leading global provider of integrated marketing solutions, today announced that it has designed and launched a Website for the Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside. The new site now captures the property’s brand identity to attract travelers using the Internet to search for hotel accommodations and simultaneously sharpens its competitive edge in the area’s travel market. Given that travel buy decisions are often made without a guest ever speaking to an individual at the property, the Sheraton Portsmouth wanted to ensure that first impressions of its property would be accurate and current and that the Website would be user friendly.

“We chose Kirk Communications because the company clearly demonstrated to us its successful track record developing Websites and implementing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) programs,” said Michelle Herman, director of sales and marketing, Portsmouth Harborside. “The team at Kirk Communications worked diligently to deliver our new site in a very timely manner,” Herman said.

When considering a redesign of the Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside Website, Herman said the goal was to drive more revenue by updating its image and better positioning the property, all as cost-effectively as possible.

“The team at Kirk Communications is very creative and collaborative” Herman said. “They took the time to fully outline and understand the scope of our project and they continue to monitor the site on a regular basis to share updates,” she said.
