Its first full season on eola

Stranraer Water Sports Association is a community club in Dumfries and Galloway. It runs sailing, windsurfing, paddlesports and power boating, with courses for adults and camps for children.

2026 was its first full season taking bookings on eola, and it listed its sessions on the eola marketplace from the start.

On the eola marketplace from day one

The eola marketplace put the club in front of people already looking for things to do on the water. In its first full season on eola it grew the club’s bookings by 53%, on top of everything the club took through its own channels.

Customers who come back

Many of the people the eola marketplace introduced have gone on to book again with the club.

A small, welcoming club can turn a first session into a habit. The eola marketplace supplies that first session.

You don’t need to be big

Stranraer shows that a club doesn’t need a large following to benefit. A small club can list on the eola marketplace and start meeting new customers in its first full season on eola.
