This Christmas season, we brought the festive spirit to our offices and teams by meeting our customers. From board games to puppy yoga and wine tasting, these experiences struck the perfect balance between celebrating and getting to know our customers.
Join us as we share these memorable experiences and customer success stories.
From friends to company parties
First, we had a board game party hosted by the Offline Game Club. Besides being fun, board games also enhance skills like reaction, strategic thinking, communication and even bluffing.
The founders of Offline Game Club have been passionate about board games for over two decades. They have explored many toys, attended international exhibitions and developed their personal toy collections. What started as a hobby and casual game nights for friends turned into a real job.
“We now organize team building events with various board games for both small gatherings and large festivals. Our unique collection of exclusive games ensures that there is something for everyone to enjoy,” states Andrius Pilypaitis, one of the company’s founders.
The site is necessary to scale
Starting this business was difficult because of the various misconceptions surrounding it. This is where their website played a key role. Through images and videos, they could effectively convey the excitement and diversity of their games. Additionally, customer testimonials on their website have been instrumental in finding new customers.
“We chose Hostinger for its reliability and good customer service. We got what we expected – a very easy to set up and manage website. The era of needing a friend to build your website is over. Today, creating and editing websites is so user-friendly that most people can do it themselves,” he points out.
Introducing the New Way of Yoga
One of our clients, Woof Yoga, combines relaxation with playful puppies. It’s a great team building exercise, allowing coworkers to bond in a fun and adorable environment.
The creators of Woof Yoga, David Erenburg, Dovydas Daščioras and Gabrielė Zdanavičiūtė, come from different fields – logistics, construction and marketing. United by their love of animals and sports, they decided to introduce pet yoga to Lithuania.
“At first, it wasn’t for business reasons. We started by making calls and collecting people through social networks. Seeing the joy and repeat attendance of the participants, we decided to move forward,” explains David.
Quality comes first
The Woof Yoga team prioritizes high quality classes by limiting the number of participants and diversifying the puppy breeds. They have found that their sessions appeal to a wide range of people, offering various benefits from emotional to physical well-being. Starting with just five sessions per month, the business now hosts multiple sessions per day.
“As soon as we thought of the idea, we knew we wanted a website here and now. It has been vital in streamlining bookings and session management, freeing up time for other important aspects such as kennel communication, advertising and yoga improvement. Maintaining the site is convenient and easy and the support team’s work is excellent!” – David shares.
Following the Dream
Just before Christmas, our team was inspired by another client who drastically changed her career to pursue her dream. Ieva Elvyra Kazakevičiūtė and her wine tasting event business, Gliu Gliu, offered a delightful combination of education and enjoyment, perfect for spending quality time and learning.
Ieva’s journey is diverse, from hosting children’s radio to creating internationally acclaimed albums and magazines, writing for prime-time TV and working in fintech. She says she has finally found her passion – wine tasting events, which are becoming popular for a variety of occasions, from birthdays to corporate celebrations.
“I started studying sommelier to learn something new and have fun after work. I always try to simplify things and convey them in a way that is relatable to my audience. This is what I felt was missing from the local wine scene. I felt that a lot of people around me could appreciate wine a lot more if it was presented to them in a simple way,” he says.
As Ieva Elvyra Kazakevičiūtė emphasizes, her goal is to create a safe space for her audience, without the concept of stupid questions. During her events, she tries to teach people a quick wine checklist – how do you taste it? What are you looking for in it? What questions do you ask to find a wine for the occasion?
Embracing a website as an essential business tool
Ieva was initially hesitant to create a website, thinking it was a big deal that she still needed to grow into. However, a friend suggested she look at it as an online business card and suggested Hostinger – she ended up building a website in a day. For her, it is a vital platform to promote natural winemaking and attract new customers.
“The user experience in Hostinger Website Builder made me feel like a world-class web builder. It’s all about arranging elements, playing with some colors and voilà! Learning to promote my website and increase traffic was exciting. While word of mouth is vital in my field, people often do research before reaching out. With the website, I show my personality and vibe accurately enough for people to decide,” he explains.
All the clients we’ve met agree that having a website is a key part of growing a business. These sites serve as platforms to book and increase your brand awareness to attract more customers. These stories show that a well-crafted website is essential to connecting with your audience and achieving success.
