Tarmac Talk!

We’re truly passionate about meeting, and supporting, activity owners!

When you’ve been in the marketing and business management world as long as I have, you learn that the best part about being in business is meeting new entrepreneurs, who you really want to help.

And, this has never been truer than the last couple of weeks in the UAE.

We sent out emails explaining what we were doing and had some great responses from activities owners from a variety of disciplines.

Your Feedback has been Super Encouraging … thank you!

Some of the feedback we’ve received during our discussions were:

• “Great concept, love that you’re going to remain dedicated to adventure activities, arts and culture. We’re tired of our offering being watered down amongst a miss-match of all sorts.”
• “Love that you’ve structured around a fixed monthly subscription that I can budget for. This is much better than the huge lead generation fees often charged in the UAE. Thank you.”
• “I like that PickYourPlayground doesn’t have any onerous contracts; no lock-in periods; and I can manage my subscription right from my mobile device. Great idea!”
• “Amazing guys. The in-app chat facility; and the fact that I can control my pricing, images, and manage my hours of operation etc right from the dashboard is innovative. I wish you every success.”
• “There is nothing like this in the market! We’ve tried so much since establishing our business 2 years ago – and nothing has worked. We love the idea of a dedicated activity gateway. We look forward to working with you!”
• “So, you’re the AirBnB of the adventure world? That’s great.” 

These comments, which were genuinely shared by people keen to see their businesses grow, were really heart-warming. We’ve always believed in our business model and were comforted by the fact that entering this new market did not mean we had to change the way we do business. It sounds like you’ve all been waiting for something new and innovative to come along and we’re glad to be able to help you achieve your business dreams.

Family Business, Family Values

One of the things that’s been a constant in our life has been the focus on building business contacts from the ‘salt of the earth’. People that are there for each other, who encourage and build each other up, and that are truly happy to see their colleagues succeed. We have an abundance mentality, and we’re so glad to see so many of the UAE activity community does too! We’ve found ‘our people’ 😉

We want to build PickYourPlayground with you and for you. By working together, we can all have businesses that provide fulfillment and reward, and we can introduce Adventure Seekers to a life full of shared experiences.

The Journey Together Begins

When I think about how far we’ve come, our founding in 2005 seems a long time ago, I realize that it’s been the people we’ve met on this incredible journey that have enabled us to weather the highs and the lows along the way (and there’s been plenty of both)!

Let the journey begin and thank you UAE for the warm welcome you’ve extended to us thus far.  

Yours in all things adventurous, and remember, you can reach out and chat to us at any time!
