The opportunity
A Gold Coast founder has built a members-only luxury travel club for owners of high-value homes (A$2.4M+, or A$2.85M+ in Sydney).
Members exchange homes using points instead of paying nightly rates: you earn points when others stay at your home and spend them when you travel.
Think private travel club, not holiday-rental marketplace.
The platform is built.
The website sits behind a holding page while the founder recruits a hand-picked group of founding members – 10 lifetime memberships in each of Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne – before opening to the public.
The founder is a business and technical operator, not a marketer.
Letterbox drops into premium suburbs and Mailchimp email automations are already running, but response rates are low.
He wants a hands-on marketer to review what's been done, fix it, and then grow the business with him
Read this first: it's a startup
Pre-revenue with a handful of members.
The founder isn't expecting revenue for at least six months.
Startup budgets.
You need to make every dollar work – this is not an agency-scale spend.
Strategy and hands-on delivery.
You'll set the plan and then be inside Mailchimp building and fixing automations yourself – there's no one else to hand it to until the business gets going.
No social media at launch.
This is a deliberately low-profile, direct-targeting play.
The business name stays confidential until the shortlist stage.
