Client name: Dorothy Dickens Bookstore

Bringing a Legacy Bookstore into the Digital Era
With over 30 years of history in Cooma and a decade under passionate new management, Dorothy Dickens Books was well-loved in the community — but their digital presence hadn’t caught up. When they approached Planet Media, we saw a clear opportunity to elevate their reach through modern marketing.
We conducted a full audit of their website and identified areas to improve usability and user experience. Simultaneously, we introduced them to the power of social media marketing — a new concept for the team, but one we knew could significantly boost visibility and engagement. From refreshing their site to implementing a tailored social strategy, we helped Dorothy Dickens transition confidently into the digital landscape, expanding their audience and strengthening their presence both online and off.
