1. If you're a visitor to the island Treat Me Wight combines a guide to selected island destinations and shopping and a Voucherbook of great local deals and it's all on your phone. That means no need to carry anything around or endless googling & multi site searching for information.
2. If you're an island resident then Treat Me Wight is a great way to keep up to date with the latest deals from island destinations you may know or tempt you to try those you don't. You will get a notification when a local business starts offering a deal or promotion.
3. Even for islanders finding out What's On can be difficult. We aim to make Treat Me Wight the go to place to find info on music, theatre, festivals, the arts, car boots, displays and shows and kids days out. If you fancy trying an unfamiliar beach there's a weather and tides guide too.
4. From September there are new features coming to the app. Handy Takeaway Tonight and Hail A Taxi features - handy contact info for takeaways and taxi firms islandwide. You will also be able to instantly listen to the island community radio station Vectis Radio via the app.
5. Last but not least Treat Me Wight is FREE to download so a handy app to have whether a resident or just here for a weekend. Note in September Treat Me Wight will be downloadable from the Google and Apple app stores.

Adding Your Pages.....
Every company now gets two pages - your primary Destination page and an optional Deal page for when you have a special offer running. Leave DEAL page blank on booking form if you don't wish to offer one - we can always add one later on for you as long as your main page is on the app. Much of the copy you submit can be used for both pages (gallery, video, contact info and links etc.)
Your Destination page is your main page and has a gallery, overview (suggest intro paragraph and bullet points), promo video and buttons for Website, Call You and Map Link / directions.
Your optional Deal page also has the above but this page also now acts as a voucher. Just click on 'ACCEPT' button when a customer shows you the page. Your Deal page is on a timer and can only be redeemed once in any 24 hour period. Deal page headline should be the offer and text bullet points should contain any TnC's.
Unlike other discounting schemes no commission on your deal value or any further charges are due.
Island visitor app users most likely found you via the 'Near Me' feature when staying in or visiting your area. Whilst holidaymakers are generally looking for Things To Do and Food n Drink venues the app can generate 'impromptu footfall' for other business types too. This is particularly true for those in our Shopping & Treats section as app will put you on their radar if your business is out of the way or not in a touristy spot generating passing trade.

We aim to just provide a selected number of great food n drink venues ( capped at 6 choices for a larger town, 1 or 2 in villages ) in any given area. You will automatically appear in the Sunday Club search if you offer Sunday roasts. Sunday Club encourages people to try somewhere new for their weekly roast.

If, for example, you know 5% of people are interested in what you sell then that's 7000 of the island's 140,000 population....many probably already know you and follow your social media. Last year there were 2.6M visitors most of whom came here between April and October....they don't know you or see your social media. So....that 5% is now 130,000 people visiting the island that have an interest in what you sell.
The problem is unless your based in a touristy area they're not walking past your shop. Realistically they're probably not even looking for you anyway - they are on holiday so doing 'holiday things' .
We can put you on their radar by placing YOUR destination page in amongst those covering the things holidaymakers ARE looking for - destinations, deals, weather and what's on. We can also show them you're just up the road / round the corner on our What's Nearby map feature and in our Shopping & Treats section.
They're into what you sell, they weren't looking for you but now they know you're there....some of them will come take a look....!!
