“Creating happy family memories is the main driver for our target audience, whose disposable income is typically spent on their children and family activities,” said Dan Darcy, Founder and Lead Developer. “Our primary goal is to make it easy for families to discover new activities while getting the best value for money.”

With over 4,000 email subscribers, 12,000 Facebook followers and a YouTube channel growing in popularity, Attractions Near Me has a vast and captive audience. The business has two streams: one that focuses on the UK and the other, which features the best theme parks and water parks across the world.

Attractions Near Me undertakes extensive research before publishing any listings and ensures that listings are regularly reviewed so they remain relevant.

When Dan first arrived at Triage as part of our Tees Valley Entrepreneurs programme, Steph Campbell, Triage Business Adviser, could see the business potential straightaway:

“Dan has worked so hard on his business plan over the last few months. Every meeting always lasts longer than planned, as there is so much to discuss and ideas are easily generated together. I love working with Dan and I wish him continued success,” said Steph. 

From the beginning, Dan and Steph worked on developing a marketing plan and identifying potential advertisers to generate revenue: “Together, we discussed and developed a new tiered pricing structure and promotional package for advertisers, and following the launch of this, Dan has achieved additional income,” said Steph.

“Steph speaks really positively about my business and what I am capable of achieving. She introduced me to additional business support that I was unaware of, and she also provided me with tips and advice on how to grow my business, along with some of the pitfalls to watch out for,” said Dan. 

Steph has been able to support Dan in countless areas, including marketing, finance, legal and even provided advice on software applications to help Dan stay focused and organised when running his venture.

“Once I started receiving support and feedback from Steph, my life was instantly transformed. Before receiving Steph’s support, I sat at home at my desk doing what I believed was right for my business, but with little planning or organisation. After meeting Steph, I now have a more structured and organised approach to my business and already, I am starting to see the rewards,” said Dan.
