I started a carnivore retreat business and now that everything is finally ready I realized I have absolutely no idea how to market this thing properly.

The first retreat is on July 24th so part of me feels like I still have time, but another part of me feels like July is tomorrow and I’m wasting time staring at my laptop not knowing what to do.

The retreat itself is pretty niche. It’s focused around the carnivore diet and teaches people the basics, adaptation, mistakes people make, lifestyle side of it etc. So because it’s such a specific niche I thought influencer marketing would probably be the best option.

The deal I offered creators was:
15% commission on bookings
10% discount for their followers
include their content in our educational materials and promote their (if) payed community.

Only one of them replied. She didn’t really comment on the offer itself, but said she’d want to come experience the retreat in person first, and if I can cover the costs. (I just wanna be influencer at this point) The issue is that she’s based in the US while the retreat is in the Netherlands, so covering flights and travel expenses would be a huge cost for a business that’s literally just getting started.
Also, I needed to find guest through her. now If I can’t do it somehow else there is not gonna be any retreat for her to attend, literally:d

The retreats are €1098–1398 so I didn’t think that my offer was terrible, but now I’m second guessing everything.

I guess I’m mainly asking:
how would you market something this niche if you were starting from zero?
Are influencers still the best route?
was my offer too weak?
what to offer to not get ignored by 99% of them?

Hey everyone,
I recently started organizing wellness retreats in the Netherlands. Everything is set up, the event is already listed on retreat platforms and related pages, but honestly I’m starting to worry that I might not find enough people before the actual dates.

The first retreat is from June 15th–18th. It’s during weekdays instead of a weekend, which I know probably makes it harder.

I’m aiming for a minimum of 8 people and a maximum of 16. So I wanted to ask people with experience in this space:

What are the realistic chances of filling spots within a month, and what’s the best way to market something like this properly?

Would it make sense to pay someone for marketing? Focus on email marketing? Reach out personally in Facebook groups? Work with influencers?

The retreat itself is pretty niche, it’s focused around the carnivore diet and wellness, so I was thinking that collaborating with carnivore influencers might be the best angle.

However, I’d really appreciate honest advice from people who’ve done retreats or event marketing before. Am I being unrealistic trying to make this happen within a month, or is it still possible with the right strategy?

Hello, i hope y’all are having a good day and a growing business.

I have a serious question!!!!!! Hoowwww do you manage social media marketing? (Facebook,insta)

I wanted to run ads for my business, but then I found out my personal Facebook account was restricted from advertising. Because of that, I couldn’t create or manage a business page linked to my account. After reading that using a personal account was a bad idea anyway, I created a new account instead.

Now, every time I try to do anything on it, change my bio, create a page, or make simple updates, Facebook keeps blocking actions and asking for verification. I’ve already appealed multiple times and submitted proof that I’m a real person, but the account keeps getting restricted again.

It’s honestly incredibly frustrating, especially because I’m running out of time and just want to focus on growing my business instead of dealing with endless reviews and automated restrictions.

My Instagram account was doing well too, but now that account is also under review.

At this point, I genuinely want to know: how do people manage social media marketing without constantly getting blocked by these insanely stupid systems? What’s the proper way to set everything up so you can run your business peacefully?
