Mitch's Fish Market
Mitch's Fish Market and Sushi Bar is a "hidden gem" in Honolulu. Known for providing quality fish shipped from all over the world to the top local sushi restaurants. Located near the airport and far removed from the tourist path, they can't rely on foot traffic to help build their brand. Their goal was to help Honolulu know about their amazing imported fish and impeccable platters that they offer. The owner, Craig, wanted help with building out their social media accounts as well as streamlining their workflows for an improved employee experience.
How we helped...
After taking time to understand their current social media marketing strategy we worked together to revamp their approach to expand their reach. We agreed that I would come by once a month to take high-quality photos and connect with the team to ask for feedback. I posted 12 photos a month to their Instagram and Facebook targeting food lovers, tourists, and locals alike to help boost their followers. Over the course of five years, we built their Instagram from 100 followers to +7500. The team and I worked together to capitalize on holidays and promotional platters to create hype and excitment leading up to their events.
"Working with Chris at Banzai Websites was a pleasure! Whatever we needed he was able to find a resolution that fit our business needs. He helped to organize our promotions and whenever he posted on social media we always had a major boom in traffic."

Mitch's Backdoor
New Zealand Seafood wanted to find a way to share their quality fish with more than just the big restaurants. Their goal was to engage with the local community and provide high-quality imported fish from Japan and New Zealand to retail buyers. The owner, Gary, imagined customers logging on to their website and being able to place a personal order for uni, bluefin ahi, or hotate from Japan and have it ready for pickup the following week. Imagine a Super Bowl party or a first birthday with the same fish that all the high-end restaurants in town have! He needed an e-commerce website that would show available products and prices, allow for secure ordering, facilitate pick-up times, and be easy to use.
How we helped...
We worked to create something that would be easy for customers to navigate but just as importantly, a site that would be easy to maintain by non-tech team members. Due to their familiarity with Weebly (owned by Square) we decided that a Square e-commerce site would be the best fit for both customers and the team. We took photos of their products, began marketing their business through social media, and built their site for a streamlined ordering experience. We worked with their team to teach them how to manage their inventory and make adjustments to their products so they could move quickly and confidently when an update needed to be made.
"Big mahalo to Chris at Banzai Websites! He helped us figure out how to get this delicious seafood into retail customers hands. The website and ordering platform made a huge difference and is super easy for our team to use."

How we helped...
Bryan and I worked together to find a design that help fit their brand and that also would be performant. Having great SEO was essential so we decided to build a site that would be optimized for Google’s crawling algorithm and still be able to include engaging JavaScript functionality. It was important to have up-to-date listings of their properties as well as multiple pages to share their breadth of services. We continue our partnership with monthly maintenance and updates to allow for Trans-Pacific Realty inc. to have easy assistance when they need to make changes.
