Purpose
To create an online presence that will bring in more customers to the hookah lounge. By having a website online,
potential customers will be able to see hours of operation, the location of the hookah lounge, upcoming events,
prices, different flavors of hookah and snacks and drinks that are served. Most importantly the business will now
have a website with all of the hookah lounge’s information that is accessible across all desktop, tablet and mobile
devices in one place. To gain more customers the hookah lounge is aiming at creating special events that they will
host around major holidays which will be a primary page of the website that they want to update at any time with
information or images.
Target Audience
Target audience that this website is aiming for is groups of friends ranging in age from 18 years old to 30 years
old. Although hookah can be smoked alone, the more people that come in together, the more they will enjoy the
experience and are more likely to spread the word through their chain of friends. Also aiming for couples in that
same age range that are looking to go out and enjoy a relaxing and peaceful night smoking hookah compared to a night
out that’s more hyped up and intense.
During special events, discounts will be offered in the hopes of bringing in new comers to try hookah if they never
have before. There will also be happy hours Monday through Friday where hookah will be discounted to help build a
community of regulars.
