Retreatmi - Your Healthy Adventure Hub.......
Retreatmi is going to be the central hub for anyone wishing to enjoy a wellness vacation. Whether that’s looking to book on to a retreat, customise your own wellness getaway or find activities. Retreatmi has easy search and booking tools to finally make booking a wellness getaway simple.
INSTANT BOOKING RETREATS:
Retreatmi is the first platform built around being able to list specific packages with room options and instant booking capabilities.
Guests can easily search and filter out by their requirements, review package options and book without the need to wait for confirmation from the Retreat Host.
THE RETREATMI BUILDER:
If you want more freedom through your schedule or to add in your own activities to suit your group or family, Retreatmi is the first custom builder tool where you will be able to select your own property, connect with local service providers surrounding that area, whether that’s a yoga instructor, a surfing instructor, a hiking guide, therapists or caterers you will be able to connect and book with them via the platform directly, select your chosen services and book instantly, creating a fully customised wellness trip in just a few simple clicks.
LOW AIR POLLUTION AND DIGITAL FREE:
We want to bring awareness to various aspects of wellness not only through activities but by locations e.g. areas of low air pollution or tech free zones. Therefore when making a choice to book a property without any activities guests can know they are going to a naturally healthier location. We also have additional property feature filters for such as yoga shala’s and studio space for those wishing to host their own.
AN AFFORDABLE ADVERTISING OPTION FOR WELLNESS VENDORS:
On the other side of the project is the focus on creating an affordable space for such wellness and property owners to advertise their business. Keeping the commissions low and generating additional income streams from other areas of the business, this will be a new avenue for all wellness services to start generating additional revenue without costly overheads. They also have the ability to self manage, amend and add as many listings as they like for free. We have instant assistance via live chat should they require when amending their own listings.
SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL:
Retreatmi is currently working in partnership with carbon offsetting and giving travellers the option to offset on checkout with planting trees through various global projects. We are also working to bring in a carbon calculator to the vendors in the back end for them to calculate their carbon footprint.
OUR ADVENTURE SO FAR:
Retreatmi is a fully functioning peer to peer platform that we have designed and developed, having built a first prototype and placed it out to vendors to test and give feedback, we have developed an ultimate space for them to use and optimally advertise all their services. So far we have been focusing on enhancing the design for Retreatmi and awareness to the capabilities and opportunities for wellness vendors via the platform.
We currently have 60 verified vendors in 11 different countries and are consistently adding more.
Some of the current feedback from listed vendors include the following:
“Wow! Really professional and it is definitely one of the best in terms of structure.”
Muster Marcus, Punch It Muay Thai Retreat Koh Samui
“The commision is fair and being able to self manage is awesome!”
Erika, Samkara Koh Phangan
“The support on this site is incredible”
Maria Paola Simboli, Mind Body Soul Retreat Host, Italy
DIGITAL MARKETING:
We are working with digital marketing specialists to optimise and generate traffic to the site. Wellness retreat builder keyword is already SEO optimised on page one of google and traffic is increasing at a rate of 33% a month, which we expect to increase to 70% once travel is permitted again.
FUNDING:
We are currently seeking funding to help with the further development of the Retreatmi platform, creating a next generation of intelligence through the site to make the user experience even better, developing apps to make Retreatmi easy to use on the go and adding in further API's to create a full start to finish experience for the user.
As we are currently trying to not only generate sales but advertise to the vendors to list their products we are therefore in need of a large marketing budget to advertise both B2B and B2C.
We thank you for taking the time to learn more about us as see our vision to create a community within the wellness travel sector, to help and encourage consumers to take this path along wellness but also help create more income to these communities, remaining conscious of our footprint as we go.
Healthy Regards
Stacey
