Lovetovisit.com

Idea

Introduction

Lovetovisit.com is the new digital platform for people to discover and book things to do. Theatres, attractions, events, activities and more, all over the UK.

What we know:

1. Domestic tourism is worth billions, but we believe finding things to do online is fragmented, time-consuming and frustrating.

2. People love aggregator sites with quality UX/UI, proven by the success of Airbnb, Deliveroo and Cazoo - to name a few!

3. We believe there's no equivalent to these brands in the 'things to do' sector... no single place for people to go, be inspired by quality content, and seamlessly book tickets through a stunning UX/UI.

Well, now there is. Lovetovisit.com allows users to discover and book a huge range of free and paid UK attractions, thanks to our ticketing integrations.

But we're more than a simple aggregator. Our platform is brimming with hyper-local content written by our dedicated team of journalists.

Immersive content leads to dwell time, which leads to ticket sales.

Monetisation strategy

We take 18% of every ticket sold.

Our partners benefit from a results-based 'added value' model. That means businesses only pay when they make money through the additional sales Lovetovisit.com makes. It's what we call our ‘everyone wins’ formula.

We are merchant of record, and take our commission of ticket sales straight away, no waiting for our invoices to be paid. And just like Facebook, we offer boosting and advertising options too. Which means that all attractions, including the free ones, can purchase extra coverage.

The domestic tourism market in the UK is worth billions. Our 3 year goal, based on extensive Cohort Analysis and Cost Per Acquisition, is to capture 2.5% market share which we hope will deliver significant profit margins. And remember… the founding team have been marketing attractions and theatres for decades, and bring a wealth of experience.

Use of proceeds

We’ve built the platform…now it’s time to take it to the consumer!

Our founders successfully marketed attractions and theatres for 30 years. Now with our talented Communications Team we will use investment to implement our extensive comms strategy.

And we've left nothing to chance. Our approach is based on detailed Cohort Analysis and Cost Per Acquisition modelling. The strategy is data-driven, but our creatives are fun and disruptive.

We want to continue to make Lovetovisit the destination for all ‘things to do’ by onboarding as many as possible. We believe there are 10k+ attractions in the UK: the market is huge!

We will also create an itinerary builder allowing people to save and share their itineraries like 'Dad’s birthday' or 'Dinika’s hen party'. Users can purchase items in that itinerary in one booking flow, without having to go back to individual pages.

And if our target is exceeded, we will supercharge implementation of our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion strategy.
