Go the extra mile to make your date smile
Keeping a relationship or marriage alive is hard work, especially in the modern era where there are so many distractions. From long working hours to kids and other obligations, it’s not hard to see why divorce rates are constantly on the rise. Enter Datefyx, an e-commerce platform that curates fun, interesting, and occasionally out-of-the-box date night ideas for couples.
Struggles Of The Modern Day Couple
Spending many years as an architect working with the luxury hotel group Banyan Tree, Ms Meenakshi Sharma spent most of her time building the perfect honeymoon experience for newlyweds. Ironically, as she juggled her responsibilities at work, at home and maintaining a social life, her own relationship with her husband got the short end of the stick. The couple eventually decided to set aside Thursday breakfasts and Saturday dinners as their weekly date sessions, but it wasn’t until her friends and family confided in her that she realized she wasn’t alone in facing these relationship issues.
A former colleague shared that she has not been out with her husband alone in nearly 15 years – the kids always tagged along, and family time was always a priority over couple time. Others said that their date nights felt like a routine, and they often didn’t have anything else to talk about other than work or kids. Seeing this shared struggle between many couples, Sharma sought to use her skills as an architect. But instead of creating spaces that deliver memorable experiences for couples, she would build a service that allows couples to bond over fun activities together with zero hassle.
Datefyx: Your Romantic Date Night Planner
Best described as a one-stop platform for the perfect date night, Datefyx aims to encourage more couples to go on dates and strengthen their relationship or marriage unit through bonding, communicating and engaging in enriching experiences together. Every week, Datefyx sends out a Date Night Guide to inspire and encourage their subscribers to plan their own date night.
The guide includes event picks of the week, curated itineraries, restaurant recommendations, workshops and classes, planning tips along with many other activities. They are all packaged and delivered as one newsletter every Friday afternoon as couples wrap up their work week! None of the suggested ideas is sponsored content and most of them have been tried and tested.
Also available are bespoke date-night experiences for you and your beau or as a gift to another couple. These include romantic private yacht cruises, picnic set-ups, workshops, mystery dining and more – all available at the Datefyx website itself.
Going The Extra Mile To Make Your Date Smile
By partnering with multiple vendors, the platform is able to package an entire experience making it more personalized and memorable. For example, their picnic set-up delivers in an elegant wicker basket that you can keep and use as inspiration to plan more outdoor picnics.
Going the extra mile, Datefyx also takes personal preferences into consideration, such as favourite cuisine, dietary restrictions, music preferences and budget – all weaved together into a memorable experience for both parties. Currently, there are more than ten different experiences that you can choose from on their website.
Apart from their out-of-the-box date night experiences, Datefyx also provides add-ons services such as babysitting, limo pick-up, flower delivery, and hair and makeup services. The main focus will always be on couples, but the platform and its services can also be used for other occasions like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Christmas and family outings.
Make Your Relationship Work Today
When you’re married or have been in a relationship for a long time, it takes more effort to keep things fun and interesting. And with Datefyx, there is no longer any excuse to put off date nights with your other half.
It takes the stress of planning for a date night right off your plate, and all you have to do is to show up, have fun and create the sort of wonderful memories that will keep your partnership going when things get rough.
