2009 has been a year of transformation for e-availability.com. Despite the challenging conditions facing all businesses, e-availability has continued to grow. We have acquired new staff members in Software Development and Sales and Marketing, which has allowed us to concentrate on achieving business goals and exploring new opportunities. Our company website was also given a face lift and we have been delighted at the feedback from visitors to the site.
This year we have been awarded many new business contracts. It appears that because of the recession, many businesses have been looking for more efficient ways to operate and online booking systems have become a priority for many businesses looking to gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. The e-availability team are extremely pleased to have helped so many companies to save costs by improving their processes
We also took steps to focus on our existing customers to find out what was important to them and what they wanted from us. As a result of our research, we gained new ideas and developed extra functionality into our systems which was important for our existing clients. Our customer research has also helped us to improve our marketing efforts to ensure we communicate the right message to prospective clients in a language they can understand.
We were exhibitors at a number of trade shows this year, such as The World of Learning Conference & Exhibition and Innovate Scotland to name a few. Our attendance at these events allowed us to gain a better understanding of current trends, speak to prospective clients and become more recognised within the industry.
Finally, but most importantly, David and the team would like to thank all our clients for their custom and continued support and loyalty throughout the year. We wish you a properous New Year and look forward to doing business with you in 2010.

e-availability.com is making it easier for children to see Santa this Christmas.
Christmas is always a busy time for Santa, especially when fitting in time to allow children across the country to visit him and tell their Christmas wishes.
We have helped our clients Woodcote Green Garden Centre to manage their Christmas Grotto by enabling parents to book convenient times online for their children to visit Santa.
e-availability.com's founder David Powell said:
"By using our online ticketing module, it means that visits to see Santa can be booked quickly and easily directly from Woodcote Green Garden Centre's website.
The whole family can then visit the Magical Christmas Wonderland knowing that they have a guaranteed time to see Santa and will not be left dissapointed by long queues and over demand at peak times.
The staff at Woodcote Green have greatly benefited from using the system as they now know in advance how many visitors are coming to the Grotto and at what time.
The system has also enabled different price structures to be implemented very easily. For example; Woodcote Green are now operating a three tier pricing structure which reflects demand at peak times."
Within the first month of the system going live there have been over 400 online bookings to see Santa. We are thrilled that we are helping so many children to visit Santa this year and are delighted that the booking system is enabling Santa and the Woodcote Green staff to stay stress free and full of Christmas spirit over the festive period.
