Digital Visitor Wins 'Best Online Application' Award In The Travel Industry

Online, November 4, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Digital Visitor, a leading social media marketing and solutions company providing results driven applications and services, was awarded 'Best Online Application' at the prestigious 2011 Travolution Awards.

Now in their fifth year, the highly-esteemed Travolution Awards recognise companies and brands that excel in the fields of online travel distribution, digital marketing and technology.

Digital Visitor have been finalists in this category 3 years in a row for their social media application, Visitor Review, so they were delighted that their new version was successful this year.

"We are thrilled that we have been able to win 'Best Online Application' at this year's Travolution Awards", said Digital Visitor's CEO, Anthony Rawlins. "Especially against such stiff competition and travel industry giants such as Best Western Hotels".

He continued, "To get this recognition really is a testament to our dedicated and creative team who have worked so hard to develop and deliver our innovative applications for the last few years".

Also this year, Digital Visitor were finalists in 2 other categories, including 'Best Technology Provider' and 'Rising Star of the Year' (CEO Anthony Rawlins).

Digital Visitor's suite of award winning social media applications plug seamlessly into any website, enabling organisations of all sizes to gather reviews, photos, videos and enable discussions about their specific products and services.

"Our solutions don't just look pretty on our client's websites; they are geared around a delivering a visible and clear return on investment for our clients. We aim to show increased conversions, increase traffic and reduced customer acquisition costs" said Anthony.

He added, "Research has proven that nearly 50% of consumers prefer to read 'reviews on a company's website' over magazines, forums, shopping comparison sites, newspapers and social networking sites.

In fact, the only other sources that were more preferred than reviews on a company website were 'via a search engine' or 'reviews on shopping sites', so this really does highlight the great importance for brands to provide real reviews by real people on their very own websites."

As well as developing cutting edge social media applications, Digital Visitor also provide a range of social media marketing services to greatly enhance the online exposure of their clients to the 1 billion or so individuals engaged in online communities and social media sites throughout the world.

The winners were announced at the Awards ceremony on 12th October at the Roundhouse London.
