All Marine Charters

Challenge: Uncharted Digital Waters

Lorraine, the owner of All Marine Charters, a charter boat business based in Cairns, found herself struggling with the demands of modern business management. Her business had been predominantly cash-only for a long time, which left her with little experience in handling digital accounts and managing online transactions. Additionally, she had no social media presence, which further limited her ability to reach potential customers and grow her business in an increasingly digital marketplace.

Solution: Taking on Social Media and Upgrading her Accounting Software

Lorraine discovered the Digital Solutions Program and saw an opportunity to transform her business. Through a series of webinars and personalised one-on-one sessions with digital experts David and Nicky, Lorraine embarked on a journey to enhance her digital skills.

  “The diversity of webinars on offer are fantastic, they really do cover a wide range of topics and the fact that they are free is amazing.”

• 1:1 Sessions with Digital Experts: Lorraine received tailored advice from David and Nicky, focusing on her specific challenges. She gained valuable insights into social media management and received expert guidance on improving her website, which would later prove critical to her business’s success.
