[New Features] Badges, Tags, Updated Amenities, and Concierge Support for Venue Selection
Let us know what we should build next! We're here to serve you...
We recently launched Badges and Tags, plus we're updating Amenities across all our curated offsite venues globally.
We also have in-house, full-time concierge support for venue selection, negotiation, and contracting (and you can “meet” Maya below, who can help you save up to 40% on room blocks, meeting space, and more with no upfront cost to you!).
Below is more info about our most recent product release…

About this update: About 1/3 of the 1000+ venues in our marketplace now have updated badges, tags, and amenities (and we're updating the rest very quickly).
Please share any product feedback you have with jared@offsite.com so we can continue building the best marketplace possible for your benefit.
Here’s what we’ve built recently that you should know about…
Tags:
You can start using tags today to find venues that are (for example) All-Inclusive, or have Buyouts Available, or are Walkable and more.
Badges:
Badges are awarded only by the Offsite team (as opposed to Tags, which venues can assign to themselves) and impact our ranking algorithm, so the best properties rise to the top of all search results.
These are things like Offsite's Favorite which is a mix of high discounts for users/clients, great on-the-ground experiences, and fast response times.
Updated Amenities:
We've updated this to provide greater detail about venues before sending booking requests through our platform.
Now, you can see:
Property Amenities
Room Amenities
Meeting Space Amenities
We hope this gives you greater confidence that you'll pick the perfect venue for your upcoming offsite given the specific needs you have for where people stay, where you'll meet, and what you'll do on-site.
Concierge Support for Venue Selection
One last thing...we have a full-time team member dedicated to helping users with venue selection and negotiation, so put us to work!
Maya is a venue sourcing queen who can:
recommend venues based on your budget, dates, destination, and group size
submit RFPs on your behalf (or suggest them to your user dashboard)
negotiate with venues on your behalf to further lower room block rates, meeting space fees, F&B minimums, and more
answer any hotel contract questions you might have
and you don't pay us anything upfront to benefit from Maya's help!

Signing up for an Offsite account and searching through our marketplace is free.
Like Airbnb or Uber Eats, should you ultimately book something through us, we charge a small platform fee.
If you are saving 20-40% on your bookings because of our exclusive rates, finding exceptional properties through our curation, and saving time in discovery and negotiation, we think our platform fee of 7% is a no-brainer, where you still save up to 33% net of all fees.
We also offer end-to-end offsite planning services, so if you have interest in learning more about what that entails, reply and let me know.
Log in (or make a new account here) and check out all the new venues, features, and upgrades to the marketplace.
If you need help finding the perfect venue for your upcoming offsite, team retreat, or conference, reach out to jared@offsite.com and me/Maya can help you.
Cheers,
Jared
