Proper pricing and marketing planning are crucial for ensuring the profitability of a retreat, with a recommendation to market twelve months in advance and price based on the minimum number of attendees you expect.
Creating a transformational and experiential retreat, rather than a traditional workshop, enhances value and deepens client relationships, which can lead to continued engagement and upsell opportunities.
Understanding and complying with legal requirements, such as seller of travel laws and appropriate insurance coverage, is essential when planning both domestic and international retreats to protect yourself and your business.
