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, try to remember that poster your saw on the on the way over 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 (the only ones we send) when new content is added or a local business starts offering a deal or promotion.
3. You can look for great destinations by category or just see what's nearby. Things To Do and Food & Drink are the main two but why not look at Shopping and Treats for some retail therapy or pampering. If you know you'll be back the Accommodation section has some great venues to check out for next time whilst your here.
4. Even for islanders finding out What's On can be difficult. If you fancy seeing a band that weekend, visiting a car boot or an art exhibition there really is no obvious place to look. 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
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.
A DESTINATION page shows a great place to visit - images, an overview, address and buttons to call them, visit the website or get their postcode for your satnav. A DEAL page is also offering you an incentive or offer to visit that destination. Their page acts as a 'voucher' to get that deal when you show it at the venue.

Treat Me Wight is a guide to selected island destinations, shopping and treats, a what's on guide and a voucherbook with some great deals all on one app. No app currently exists that combines these useful features. It offers island businesses new marketing options....

Most companies supporting the launch of this APP have booked a 3 month trial to test it. Pre launch rates for companies in from the start held on all future bookings/renewals until April 2026.
Some businesses may offer incentives so this could be a great way to test different promotions - see what works best? You can change images and text at any time. Most companies will actually have a DESTINATION page but they can change to a DEAL page and offer a weekly, monthly or seasonal promotion or incentive to visit them. APP users get a notification when you do that!
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. If visiting a specific area it will suggest nearby - some great places to eat, some great places to visit, some interesting independent shops and locations for retail therapy, pampering, treats and gifts etc.
We can monitor analytics such as DESTINATION page views and if you have a DEAL page it also acts as a voucher to get that deal so we can monitor voucher redemptions too.
Our marketing will be a mix of ongoing campaigns (physical, digital & guerrilla) with online, social media, bus, ferry, terminal and on island marketing. We are looking to reach residents and island visitors to create awareness and drive usage. Onsite physical branding will be supplied to your venue (posters / QR codes etc.). Marketing starts with app launch in the spring and ramps up during the summer.
- Tell us if you want to start with a DESTINATION or a DEAL page and which sections you want to be in. See COPY SPEC to see what we need and page examples. We design page, you approve it, you pay for it when it/app goes live. After 3 months you can see views and voucher redemptions. If it's worked well you renew it for 6 or 12 months and it gets even cheaper -

- or if you need more convincing read on -
1. Your social media posts probably wont be seen by island visitors here for a weeks holiday - just those that know or follow you and your groups.
- Treat Me Wight is as useful an app to have for island residents as it is for island visitors meaning you can reach both -
2. WHATEVER YOU SELL/OFFER will be of interest to some island visitors but how do they know you're there?
Treat Me Wight has a shopping and treats section and a search nearby feature meaning you can let them know your business is just round the corner. -
3. Food/drink venues and attractions have more competition. Your DESTINATION page can become a DEAL page anytime to quickly offer or try incentives or seasonal deals to ensure it's your door they walk through!
- On Treat Me Wight you can change your page type or published content whenever you want. App users get notified when new pages or content is added -
4. Ferry/bus/train marketing, print media and leafleting for many is prohibitively costly. Obvious concerns are will they remember seeing it, are they carrying it around and how do you tell how well it's worked?
- Treat Me Wight is free to download, just sits on their phone. We can tell you how many people looked at your DESTINATION or DEAL page and how many people used your DEAL page as a voucher -
5. Most island visitors are either googling or flicking between websites like Wightlink, Red Funnel, Visit IOW, Trip Advisor etc to find great destinations. Does your budget allow you to advertise on all of them.
- The Treat Me Wight is on their phone and saves them time. It combines a destination guide, a shopping guide, a deal guide and a what's on guide. -
6. Even for residents there's no single, obvious place to find out 'What's On' on the island is there? Wouldn't an up to date guide on your phone be handy?
- We aim to make Treat Me Wight the go to place to find out What's On that month. It's a useful thing for residents and visitors alike and it drives APP usage. We can include all your events -
