Travel site online offering transformed

I love the evolution of our work from a sketch to full working website that adds value to a business! We’ve worked with The Dragon Trip for a number of years now, having created their brand platform and designed and built their adventure tours website. Towards the end of last year we worked with them to transform their online offering and enable them to take bookings and deposit payments for the first time through their website. This isn’t as easy as it sounds and took some effort on their side to work with internal processes to change the way they work to benefit from these small but essential changes. The new site and booking platform went live just before Black Friday last year and we are really pleased that bookings started to grow off the back of this work. The Corona virus hasn’t helped business at the start of this year, but we continue to support the team and know they are agile enough to ride the ups and downs.

Introducing POC: prepayment software for leisure spend

Nowadays we prepay for almost everything, bills, mobile phones, cinema tickets, festival tickets, hotel packages and much more. So why not introduce prepayment software in to your website to take money in advance for evenings out at a restaurant or a bar? Our experience at The Island, after so many years in the leisure environment,  has taught us that what customers truly want is as much value for money they can get. This is the reasoning behind ‘POC’. POC is an innovative platform that makes prepaying for your customers easy. Besides a great user experience, POC also helps increase revenues at your restaurant through greater efficiencies and targeted promotions. The platform itself allows venues to create a reward scheme, the only difference is that it does not require the collection of points, simply a prepayment. The platform allows three different types of rewards and each mean something different to your customers. The key advantage for venues is a better cash flow and stock control. All your earnings are happening before your clients even set foot into your venue. We are moving towards a future that is paperless, wireless and soon enough cashless. So why not jump on board now and be ahead of the trend. Prepay for leisure spend is happening and it can mean added value to you and your customers. If you are interested in finding out more about POC and prepay for leisure spend, fill in the form below and take a look at this website. [contact-form-7 id=”400″ title=”The contact form”]
