My boss asked me to come up with a number to do the following from home:
-Google AdWords
-Yahoo! Ads
-Constant Contact weekly newsletters and harvesting of new email addresses
-consultation on the development of our new website, plus the site maintenance (updates, promotions, etc.)
-contacting travel agencies/business to try to get group and corporate accounts
This is for a small hotel. What’s a fair monthly fee for all this work?
We want a scalable solution that is affordable but robust enough to handle an sharp increase in demand.
1) Performance – We want our hosting to be able to scale quickly to handle an increase in traffic.
2) Email – We will be sending our members critical event notification emails that we don’t want listed as SPAM. Anything we can do in the hosting environment to improve this would be great.
3) Security – We don’t have full-time staff, so it would be great if more of the IT maintenance / updates / monitoring that can be done by the hosting provider.
4) Cost – we have a limited budget, and we can’t get into a long-term contract.
Technical details: Windows hosting w/ SQL required.
What are the best solutions out there?
Many thanks
