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.

Adding Your Page.....
Your soon to be new customers using the app most likely found you via the 'Near Me' feature when staying in or visiting your area. Whilst holidaymakers mainly seek Things To Do and Food n Drink venues the app can generate 'impromptu footfall' for other businesses 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.

(note we offer special rates for charity run businesses, attractions and if several businesses from same location book - talk to us!)
Large and small attractions, venues, parks and activities.
- antiques - vintage and retro - book shops - health and beauty - ladies and mens 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 6 choices for a larger town, 1 or 2 in villages ) in any given area. That's it.
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.
Option for '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.
Why not run a Destination page for high season and switch it to a Deal page in low season?
Unsure whether you want a DEAL or a DESTINATION page? - CLICK HERE for some guidance

- 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! -
your social media is great for those that know you or are in your groups but probably wont reach island visitors only here a week -
- low cost when compared to most other types of advertising -
- offer weekly or seasonal deals when you need to -
- useful for targeting residents AND visitors -
- handy What's On guide for your events -
- free to download and always to hand -
- views & response you can measure -

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....!!
