We have been working with itison for 10 years now and always find the team a great bunch to work with. We tap into their strengths of marketing and exposure to a much wider audience then we can achieve ourselves which helps to drive revenue in our shoulder periods. They keep us on track in terms of quarterly planning, so we don’t have any gaps or dips in business and are a valuable revenue stream for the hotel.
Harvey Nichols have worked with itison for several years now and we always find the team extremely helpful and courteous. Our itison offers sell-out super quick and for us it’s a great tool to fill those empty spaces during quieter times, or to highlight a new offer. It’s a great way to drive additional revenue too.
Working with itison has been a commercial success however, my overriding takeaway is how great the team are to work with. They are open to ideas, quick to respond, provide easy to use systems and make it a pleasure to do business together.
itison allowed us to reach an extensive and relevant database with a brilliantly bespoke marketing campaign to relaunch our newly renovated spa. After quick sell-out we have enjoyed welcoming 100% new customers to our businesses alongside lovely 5-star reviews with our first few months of re-opening fully booked.
We’ve grown as a company since 2010, with an expert team of over 70 people working in our world-class Glasgow HQ and offices around the country, but we still have the same mission we had from the start: introduce people to amazing experiences to help local businesses prosper.
That mission also extends to our local communities to be a force for good. To date, we’ve donated over 40,000 experiences to local charities and raised £3.7m for amazing local causes.
Life is about the experience. We’re here to help everyone to live it.
We’ll do all the heavy lifting so you can focus on delivering the experience
We’ll partner you with an expert account manager, local to you, to learn about your objectives and design a campaign that delivers.
As well as featuring in our primary email, the Daily, sent to 1.5 million itison members and being promoted to our 550k+ social followers, you have options to supersize your campaign with primetime TV ads, influencer campaigns and major media reach.
We’ll give you access to itison Hub where you and your team can monitor sales, redeem vouchers and monitor stats in real time. Our operations and customer support teams will be on hand to make sure your team know what to expect and help with any questions as you start to welcome customers.
You’ll get paid every week as vouchers are redeemed and receive a report with feedback from customers so you can see how you’re doing. Head to itison Hub to track analytics on your new customers including postcode data, age and gender demographics.

Discounting is our recommended incentive for driving a high volume of new customers, but you can opt to offer added value or an experience that’s exclusive for itison members instead.
We’ll work with you to design an approach that works for your business and achieves your objectives.
We’ll work with you to agree a capacity of vouchers that meets your objectives and works for your business, whether that’s delivering a solid base of bookings or topping up the periods where you need a boost, you’re in charge.
The kind who’ll spend more and return again, and again. We’ve built our membership organically over 12+ years, attracting high value customers with disposable income they’re looking to spend.
We’ll work with you to structure a campaign that encourages maximum additional spend once our members are in your business, then it’s over to your team!
Like any discount incentive, we find around 5% of our members are in it purely for the deal. Whilst they might not come back, the positive word of mouth you’ll get from them will bring more new customers.
We don’t charge any upfront or flat fees – we only make money when you do. We’ll agree a % fee paid on every voucher redeemed and pay you for any unredeemed vouchers as no cost revenue to your business. This usually negates our fee.
It’s great to be busy, but we know from running our own bars, restaurants, and events that there are always quieter timeslots or midweek days that need a boost. We can home in on the times when you could be busier, to maximise your revenue every day.
We’re also perfect for driving seasonal campaigns to boost quieter times of year, or amplifying your own marketing activity around everything from new openings and menu launches to shouting about your recent refurb or newest offering.
