Is Arcarnus Lifestyle membership only for celebrities or the super-rich? Who is the typical Arcarnus members?
No,
not at all. Our service is for discerning individuals who are typically
very busy, somewhat ?time-poor? and who appreciate the finer things in
life: people with a sophisticated and demanding lifestyle.
Our
clientele ranges from middle-to-upper management in corporations, from
entrepreneurs to celebrities and sportsmen, and from PAs to executives.

Why would I need Arcarnus Lifestyle service?
If
you find that your life is too busy and that you aren't currently
getting the most out of life. You want a satisfying career, business
but also treasure your personal life with family and friends.
Life
is increasingly demanding. We need more time to organize our
out-of-work issues yet have less time to do so than ever before.
More
consumer choice means an increased need for detailed, expert
information on suppliers for our all-important lifestyle jobs: people
who can deliver with integrity, consistency, accuracy and efficiency.
Arcarnus Lifestyle is built to deliver just that.
We relieve you of the time and hassle involved in organizing your life, letting you focus on your work and family.
Our
specialists cover everything: from household and car requests, to
restaurant reservations, event-organising, gift-sourcing, and bespoke
travel planning and booking. You enjoy dedicated expertise in all areas of your life and your tasks are dealt with quickly and efficiently - without taking up your precious time.
Our carefully vetted and tested partners offer you a reliable infrastructure of trusted suppliers for specialist tasks without having to search for them yourself.
Our unique deals
with our partners offer you preferential rates and value-added benefits
for almost all requests, giving you a return on your membership.
And our extensive global network of agents gives you access
to an exclusive lifestyle beyond the reach of most people. These
contacts took us years to develop ? but are yours at the push of a
button.

What value does the service offer?
Our VIP service gives you unlimited time
with your client manager and our support teams for a whole year, for a
flat fee of only ?3000; typically a lot less than a PA would cost you
directly (or indirectly through the time she takes to sort out non-work
issues).
As an Arcarnus Lifestyle member you can save that cost
by delegating all your lifestyle requests to a team of specialists who
will deal with them faster, better and more efficiently, leaving you
and your PA to focus on your work.
Further, our relationships with carefully vetted partners enables you to make a saving on most requests due to our preferential rates. In a typical year, this saving would exceed the cost of the membership fee.
To see some of the deals we offer please look at our monthly newsletters.

How much does it cost to join?
There are two membership levels:
- VIP membership costs ?3000 per annum and entitles you to unlimited requests and unrestricted time from your client manager.
- Basic membership costs ?1500, plus hourly charges per each request that exceeds an hour of your client manager's time.
VIP
membership is for people who require daily tasks to be attended to, and
offers a substantial saving on running charges in comparison with Basic
membership.
The Basic membership is ideal for international
members based outside of London, and for those who are mostly
interested in accessing our network rather than delegating daily
errands and chores.

Are there any other charges or mark-up fees?
No. Our fee structure is clear and transparent: membership pays for our time as detailed above, with no additional charges.
Thereafter
you pay only for services we organise for you (e.g. travel arrangements
or car purchase) typically with a price reduction due to preferential
rates we receive from partners and suppliers.
The only additional charge is for out-of-office time when a member specifically requests this. This is charged at ?35 per hour.

Why is membership limited?
Each
member has his or her own dedicated client manager acting as liaison
and sole point of contact. We work with a strict member-to-client
manager ratio to preserve the personal level of service that
distinguishes us; hence we grow membership at a controlled rate.

How is Arcarnus different from other lifestyle management services?
Arcarnus
Lifestyle was founded to serve an untapped niche in the market: the
discerning individual seeking a personal, discrete lifestyle service
that delivers more than it promises.
Our unique service model is structured around one-to-one personal account management with a defined member-to-client manager ratio, backed by support teams with relevant field specialities. And, of course, our exclusive and carefully vetted partners.
We
do not work as a call-centre, or as an online operation, and we do not
cater for ad-hoc pay-per-use requests. Most importantly, we do not
treat our clients like numbers. On the contrary, all clients are met
personally by their client manager with whom they develop a close,
learning relationship.
Whilst there are a number of ?lifestyle
management? companies in the market, they focus on different aspects:
some on networking and party-organising, others as booking offices for
tickets and restaurants, while many are simply errand-runners.
Arcarnus
distinguishes itself by focussing on our members. We deliver a
comprehensive lifestyle management solution that ensures a tailored and
personal experience at all times.
