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 October Treat Me Wight will be downloadable from the Google and Apple app stores.
Whilst Treat Me Wight is not designed to be a comprehensive guide it will feature a selected number of interesting destinations worth visiting when exploring the island....usually a few in each area. New ones will be added every week.

All app renewal payments are secure via STRIPE.
Your DESTINATION page is like your home page on the app. It's searchable via Destinations, Map Search, Browse All, Look Up and Sunday Club. A Destination page has a logo, gallery, overview paragraph and info bullet points, promo video and buttons for Website, Call You and Map Link.
You now also get the free option of a DEAL page too should you have a special offer running. A Deal page has most of the same features as above but acts as a voucher. Just click on 'ACCEPT' button when a customer asks for the deal and shows you the page. This button will then disappear for 24 hrs so voucher can only be redeemed once that day.
If you have a DEAL page then suggest one of your DESTINATION page bullet points says 'see our current offers in DEALS'

Big or small - every business appears the same size and in the same way on the app.
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 retail business is out of the way or not in a touristy spot generating passing trade.
----------
Large and small attractions, venues, parks and activities.
- antiques - vintage and retro - book shops - health and beauty - ladies and men's fashion - specialist hobby shops such as arts n crafts - sports and fitness - gaming and any other interesting, quirky, independent retailers -
We're not trip advisor so you wont be shown with 40 other places and the same number of filters. We aim to just provide a selected number of great food n drink venues ( capped at 7 choices for a larger town, 1 or 2 in villages ) in any given area. You can also appear in the Sunday Club search if you offer Sunday roasts. Sunday Club encourages people to try somewhere new for their weekly roast.
Good for hotels that are totally open to non residents and holiday parks, touring and campsites. Many repeat visitors (the island has lots) will visit to check out places for next time. They'll also be staying at different locations on the island if touring / camping.
Seven day forecast and daily weather by the hours and tide tables for that day. Nice option for a 'rainy day attraction' to sponsor this page...talk to us.
Even if you live here there's no obvious place to look and those here for just a week wont have signed up to the local social media groups. If you host events add them free via the website or the app. Option to sponsor this page...talk to us.
A handy guide for residents out of their usual area and of course for visitors who wont know any island firms. Sorted by area in which that taxi firm is based or usually has most cars.
A handy guide for residents out of their usual area and of course for visitors who wont know any island takeaways. Sorted by area with contact details and whether they deliver. Usually one per food type per area.
A subsection of food n drink - just venues that offer a Sunday Roast menu so why not try somewhere different?

- print and display advertising....did they see it, will they remember it, are they carrying it around?.....well, they're carrying their phone aren't they! -

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....!!
