This concept is innovative in many ways –
The hotel leverages the existing resources on Kangaroo Island and amplifies what Kangaroo Island has to offer, thereby giving customers a memorable experience in nature.
This business concept is distinctive and special because Inn the Forest allows a group of people to book their gathering here, whereas competitors usually do not encourage or allow group bookings.

Reaching and Influencing the Customer
Nowadays Internet marketing is the most important path to market.
There are two ways to reach the customer. First of all, Inn the Forest must have an outstanding website that is characterized by Search Engine Optimization (SEO). In the second place, this hotel should maintain a good social media presence by running ads on Facebook and Instagram.
Because Inn the Forest will have an online booking system on its website, the target customer will find it very convenient to book hotel rooms online.
In order to build this business, two major marketing activities are essential. Firstly, the website of Inn the Forest must be SEO-optimized. This can be done by publishing blog posts regularly so Google will see the website as an active site. Further, every blog article must have the right SEO keyword density and keyword variations. Secondly, content marketing on social media is key – Inn the Forest will have a Facebook page and an Instagram page where value-adding content that look native on these two social media platforms are posted frequently.

Who Will Make or Supply the Product or Service?
Many individuals have the capabilities to build the website and manage its online presence and marketing. Nonetheless, other aspects of this business must be outsourced. There are many reliable providers in Australia. For example, Canopy Tree is a company that offers services such as wooden house design and construction. Ingram (2012) maintain that the architect has been primarily trained as a creative designer who may not understand management and commercial operation. Consequently, effective communication is surely required.
