Dive in – Drift away….MediaHI came to Tsunami Marketing when they wanted to reinvent and relaunch the Aloha-Hawaii, Search-Hawaii, and Postcards-Hawaii web sites. Tsunami developed a totally new interface, innovative back-end programming with complete client-side management of content, advertiser placement relevance control and tracking, and on-demand reporting with reminders and alerts regarding advertiser contracts. Almost immediately the number of daily page views increased by over 200% in the first four weeks after re-launch, and has steadily increased since then. New articles are added weekly, keeping content fresh. Average time spent at the site per unique visitor has doubled and relevant ad click-through percentage led to more sales per click.
