2. My Message to My Target Audience

Refined Elevator Pitch

  • ComplyEur provides UK HR and compliance teams with automatic Schengen day tracking through real-time alerts and team-wide visibility, so they can plan travel confidently and avoid fines, bans, and last-minute disruption.

Understanding Their Pain Points

  • Schengen 90/180 day tracking is risky, manual, and easy to get wrong
  • Teams rely on spreadsheets or do not track travel limits at all
  • One mistake can trigger fines, entry bans, and cancelled business trips

Transformation

  • Know every employee’s Schengen status at a glance
  • Plan trips early with confidence, not guesswork
  • Prevent compliance issues before they disrupt people or plans

Unique Selling Proposition (USP)

  • Calculates rolling day limits that generic travel tools miss
  • Replaces spreadsheets with alerts, dashboards, and audit-ready exports

  • See risks early. Act before borders do.
  • Travel planning with compliance built in
  • Keep trips moving and penalties off your desk
  • Peace of mind for every EU business trip

Tone

  • Clear, calm, and practical. It should feel dependable, low-drama, and in control.

Hero Text Idea

  • Flag Text: UK teams travelling to Europe
  • Main Headline: Track Schengen travel limits for your whole team automatically.
  • Sub Headline: Replace spreadsheet guesswork with real-time visibility and alerts. Stop overstays, fines, and cancelled trips before they happen.
  • CTA: Book a demo

3. The Media I Will Use to Reach my Target Market

Website
