8. Website The DCA website was completely redesigned and relaunched in late 2008. At the same we also ceased production of a generic Centre Guide which had previously been produced quarterly. The new website was produced with Whitespace in Edinburgh to a very tight brief which ensured a high degree of control over the daily management of the site was passed to DCA. The site also was designed to drive an internal signage system and to feature rich media content (usually through embedded content) and good download options.

9. More effective communication First quarter 2010 sees us install a new open source CiviCRM database which syncs with our current Databox ticket system and will allow us to manage all customer records and professional contacts more effectively, as well as helping us to communicate with targeted groups via email and direct mail. Late 2009 also saw the launch of a brand new loyalty card. The ‘red’ card allows visitors to build up points with each cinema visit and redeem points against free cinema tickets. This in turn helps us capture data more effectively and presents a customer-focused approach at front of house as the card can be handed over without the need for many questions. The scheme has been a great success this far - 932 cards issued 828 new email addresses captured 247 indicated Jute interest £1440 in Loyalty Points has been built
