Business strategy & website for yoga retreats business
Caribbean yoga offers yoga classes, retreats and personal training on the northern coast of Colombia, and is run by Katie Dondzilla, a highly qualified and creative fitness professional. She needed to get her business online to advertise her retreats, offer online classes & build her audience.
Whist the project budget didn't allow for search engine optimisation (SEO) the designs were created with SEO in mind i.e. the layout of the pages allows for a good amount of H1's to H3's. The enquiry form has been set up so that when a potential customer fills the form, it is automatically forwarded to the business owner, and the reception of the relevant retreat who is hosting the event. In this way, the business owner frees herself from administration tasks and the event location deals with all the room bookings and food preferences.
Because the business location is in a rural area of Colombia, with limited internet, the business owner relies heavily on Whatsapp. As you can see on the live site, there are whatsapp buttons which when pressed by a potential customer will automatically open whatsapp and send a messge to Katie.
The strategy also included to capture people interested in retreats, and add them to a group whatsapp chat, so that they can always be the first to hear of new retreats.
