Hi Michelle,

It was great to chat with you at the Zokit meeting. We love the website your boyfriend has for the lodge and think the property looks fantastic. Instead of drafting an email, we've created this webpage to share our example video idea, complete with rough costings, to help boost direct bookings.

We'd love your feedback when you both have a chance.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
