Work Rest or Play Features, Benefits and Value

Work Rest or Play Features, Benefits and Value

At Work Rest or Play, we believe online visibility should be accessible for all, not just businesses with big marketing budgets.

Our goal is to celebrate local communities and help more people do and buy locally — whether it’s finding a class or activity for social reasons, or businesses connecting with local suppliers (for example discovering a specialist manufacturer in the nearby village instead of sourcing from the other side of the country).

We’ve built a platform that makes it simple for independent businesses and community groups to get noticed online, without needing to be a web or SEO expert.

Features You Can Use

• Business Directory & Calendar – Showcase your services, events and offerings in one easy-to-find place.
• Social Media Support – Silver and Gold advertisers get regular shout-outs. Plus, any advertiser who tags us in their posts will be shared on our stories and news feed, and posts are approved in our Facebook Groups.  We only share advertisers posts.
• Support & Guidance – From onboarding sessions to ongoing Success Sessions, we help you get the most from your listing.

Benefits You’ll See

• Increased online visibility – Your organisation is easier to find for both new and existing customers.  I.e. through Google Search results.
• Sell more effectively – By being listed and discoverable, you can turn searchers into customers without needing large marketing budgets.
• Community recognition – Reach local people who want to buy, hire, or connect locally.

The Value We Provide

• Personalised support – Access help from our team, including Founder and Director Merewyn Sayers, who also runs Sayers Solutions; Marketing Mentor and Connector, to make your profile shine.
• Guided onboarding – Step-by-step email sequences and sessions to get your listing up and running quickly.
• Success Sessions – One-to-one discussions to update your profile, explore news articles, plan social campaigns, or even get wider marketing advice outside our platform.
• New Help Desk – Raise support tickets, access a growing library of help articles, or connect with other advertisers in our community forum.

We want to make online visibility simple, supported and effective — so local and independent businesses can compete, thrive and be discovered by more people in their community.
