APP SECTIONS INFO....
- Things to Do -
Large and small attractions, venues, parks and activities.
- Shopping and Treats -
- 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 -
- Food and Drink -
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. Sunday Club encourages people to try somewhere new for their weekly roast.
- Accommodation -
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.
- Weather and Tides -
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.
- What's On -
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.
- Need A Taxi ? -
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.
- Takeaway Tonight ? -
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.
- Sunday Club -
A subsection of food n drink - just venues that offer a Sunday Roast menu so why not try somewhere different?

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. 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.
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.
----------
ADD YOUR BUSINESS
Treat Me Wight was launched to do three things....
- Provide island visitors with a useful island guide on their phone. Bringing together, in one app, the info they need whilst here saves them visiting numerous other sites and lots of googling!
- Make the app as useful for island residents as it is for visitors - local news, jobs, radio, volunteering, roadworks alert and what's on etc.
- Provide island businesses with a new marketing platform that's a low cost, content-flexible alternative to current media choices especially print media. Also great if they regularly have deals or offers.

Q & A
Q: How much to add my business with a DESTINATION page and when do I pay?
DESTINATION pages on the app cost £175 for 3 months, £200 for six, £275 for nine or £300 for 12 months. You will be sent a PAYMENT LINK once you have approved your sample page(s) on the app. Once payment is received your page(s) will go fully live and searchable.
NOTE - unless a summer only business we recommend 12 months as app is used by residents and visitors. It will cost less than £6 per week!!
Q: What's Included in a DESTINATION page?
It has a logo, gallery, overview paragraph and info bullet points, optional promo video and buttons for Website, Call You and Map Link. An optional DEAL page is also included in the price.
Q: How do people find my page on the app?
A DESTINATION page is searchable via Destinations, Map Search (IPhone), Browse All, Catergory Search, Look Up and for some features such as Sunday Club and Surf n Turf (coming soon).
Q: What's a DEAL page?
A DEAL page has similar info but also acts as a voucher. You can add (or remove) a free DEAL page at any time if you have a Destination page running. Most businesses only have one in the low season but if you regularly have promotions and offers they make sense. Just click on the 'ACCEPT' button when a customer asks for the deal and shows you the app page. A DEAL page can be used once every 24 hours. Deal pages only appear in the DEALS section of the app.
NOTE - Destination and Deals pages are separate because you don't only want new customers because your have an offer on. Destination pages actually get up to 7 times more views than Deal pages - not everyone is looking for a deal. Unlike other discounting platforms there are no 'deal guidelines' so just offer what's right for you. The customer pays you directly so no waiting for your money and there is no commission paid to us.
Q: Do you create our pages?
Yes. We can create a sample page on the app using info from your social media and website content (that you've already approved) for you to then edit. Alternatively send us what we need via COPY SUPPLY form.
Q: We can have a video on our page too?
Yes included in price, a YouTube link is ideal but you can send us a mp4 video and we can add it in via our YT channel and link it that way. We can however also create an AI Video Promo for you simply from a few images and a script. You can specify the presenter type and location, even the weather. You can then use this not only on your app page but also elsewhere. A 20-30 second AI promo creation is £150. Call us....
Q: Can i change the copy on my pages once live?
Yes. You can update text, change images and add promo videos to your pages at any time and as often as you wish. Changes are currently done by us and are live within 24 hours. We are already developing the next version of the app will allow you to do this instantly.
Q: How do you market the app?
The app is advertised at ferry terminals, on local radio, social media and we work closely with our customers on joint marketing with everything from posters, roadside banners and beer mats to QR codes in accommodation welcome packs!

Marketing is all about choices and budget.....
So...you could book a large banner like this at Red Funnel Southampton...it's opposite the check in booths where all cars have to stop. It's our first of those planned for the ferry terminals. Cost you about £5K for 6 months......too much?
How about a page on the app for £300 for 12 months then?AI Video Promo
