New website helps Leeds Thai boxing club pack a punch
A Leeds based Thai Boxing club is reporting a dramatic increase in people attending its classes following the clubs decision to have on online presence and develop a website.
Former British Amateur Champion Pierre Mahon, who set up Kao Loi in 1997, has teamed up with ORCA websites, based in Rawdon to help create the site. The website has pulled in more people interested in trying out the sport and has seen its group classes triple in size and personal training sessions with Pierre double in size since the website was designed in January.
“We have always had a group of loyal members, some of whom have been with us for many years but the increase in the number of people attending the gym has been dramatic since we have started working with ORCA” Said Pierre, who, at the time of his retirement was ranked number 3 in the world.
“I had often thought about developing a website but didn’t know where to start and so stuck with traditional forms of advertising to promote Koa Loi. What I am now finding is that the website is all the advertising I need as people now use the internet as their first port of call to search for things. I am now spending less on advertising than before but still getting new members every day which has helped the club go from strength to strength.”
ORCA websites specialise in helping small to medium sized businesses have an online presence to increase their online trade and help them compete with the bigger brands. ORCA was established almost two years ago and now has a national network of some 50 franchises with another 400 on offer. Dean Watmough Managing Director of ORCA comments:
“It was great to do business with Pierre as we are both passionate about what we do and it was great to be in Pierre’s corner to help him expand Koa Loi. Many businesses think that a quality website would be difficult to create or too expensive but our dedicated team of web designers specialises in producing search engine friendly, big brand quality websites at affordable prices.”
ORCA franchisees are developing an extensive customer base in a broad range of business sectors, from roofing companies, furniture retailers and insurance brokers, to opticians, restaurants and fashion boutiques. The company is still recruiting for new franchisees across Yorkshire and is also taking on more experienced website designers to join its Rawdon-based head office team.
