Modified on Fri, 03 May 2024 at 12:44 AM

To open an account and promote your retreats, first sign up for a listing (Retreat Center, Program or Banner Ad). The steps are explained below.

Are you wondering whether to list your retreat as a center or a specific program on Retreat Finder?

Here's a quick breakdown to help you decide:

Retreat Center Listing:

What is it? Ideal for owners/managers of physical spaces dedicated to retreats.
Who Should Choose It? Retreat center owners/managers.

Program Listing:

What is it? Promotes specific retreats, workshops, or events, regardless of location.
Who Should Choose It? Retreat organizers/instructors.

Differentiator

Center Listing: Own/manage a retreat space.
Program Listing: Offering a specific retreat or event.

Choose the option that aligns with your goals. With Retreat Finder, you can effectively showcase your offerings and connect with your target audience.

1. Choose the listing that suits your needs

Go to this page - https://www.retreatfinder.com/advertise.html

NOTE: If you are a retreat center, choose the 'Retreat Centers' option. If you are a retreat host and are hosting a program, then choose the 'Programs' option.

If you are a retreat center AND you host programs, then sign up for a 'Retreat Center' listing and then create a 'Retreat Program' inside your sponsor account and link it to your Retreat Center listing.

2. Select your subscription

Choose which option you want and click 'Start Today!' to continue.

3. Fill in the listing information

Write the Title and add Categories. To proceed, click 'Continue'.

4. Create your sponsor account

On the next page, create your account. You need to enter your First Name, Last Name, Email Address and a password. Make sure to check the recaptcha boxes after reviewing the relevant information, and check the verification box for 'I'm not a robot'

5. Process payment

If you are signing up for paid listing, the next step will be the Checkout or the payment page. You will make payment for the content level you selected previously.

6. Listing information

On this page, complete your content by entering all the relevant fields for your content type (Retreat Center, Programs & Events, Banners, etc.) and membership level, then click the Save button. Each level of paid membership will unlock certain features on this input page. The only required fields at this point are the Title and Category and Summary Description. The remaining fields are optional. So you can leave them blank for now and fill them in later by logging in and editing the listing.

It is highly recommended that you complete as much content as possible (categories, description, location, images, various features checkboxes, etc.) to showcase your retreat's benefits and ensure maximum exposure within the directory's search results. Remember, the higher membership level, the more features you get access to enter. And the more information you enter, the better the listing will become.

Once you enter as much information as possible, click Save at the bottom. You should get a confirmation email saying that your new content has been created.

7. Pending Status

Initially, the status of your content will appear. This is because our site managers needs to review and approve your content. While your content is in Pending status, it won't appear on the website. Once it is approved, the status will change to Active and your content will start appearing on the website;

Note: If you have not yet paid for your listing, go through the checkout process by clicking Billing > Checkout at the top menu bar.
