Customer lifetime value plays a crucial role in the success of your business. There are several factors that can increase your customer's lifetime value, including building a strong relationship and offering upsell and cross-sell options. To leverage these factors effectively, mobile apps are essential as they provide instant access to your studio.

Recognizing the importance of mobile apps, we have launched 'Announcements'! With this feature, you can harness the potential of your mobile app to reach your customers with the right message at the right time. 'Announcements' include detailed cards, banners, and notifications.

1. Detailed Cards are useful for making major announcements that require context and specific information. They are ideal for informing clients about new studio locations, upcoming events, competitions, new trainers, products, and planned get-togethers. Catchy design is crucial for detailed cards to quickly engage clients with visual and textual information.

2. Banners, on the other hand, are effective for time-sensitive announcements that need a wide reach. They are ideal for communicating studio closures, class changes due to weather conditions, trainer unavailability, or facility changes. When creating banner content, it's important to communicate the reasons behind your decisions.

3. Finally, notifications are powerful for executing marketing strategies that drive upselling, cross-selling, and app engagement. They are perfect for promoting limited period offers, discounts, new class launches, and more. Notifications have higher open rates compared to email, making them a valuable communication tool.

In conclusion, customer engagement and upselling go hand in hand. 'Announcements' provides you with a highly effective tool to both engage and upsell your customers. If you're interested in activating this feature or learning more about how to use it, please contact your account manager.

Most business owners create a single private appointment even when they are offering semi-privates due to the shortcomings of their management software.

With our latest update, Bookee has also made it possible to create semi-private appointments on your CRM and make them available for clients to book into from their accounts on your website or mobile app.

With this update, you can decide the number of slots available for your privates, set them up, make them visible on your schedule, and let your clients book into them without any extra manual work.

No more:

1. No system of checking in facility members

2. The operational hassle of maintaining facility members

We understand that data management can be incredibly time-consuming, but is necessary for growth. But the more time you spend on data management, the less time you spend on actually growing your business.

Strange conundrum, isn’t it?

But don’t worry, because we’ve been working hard on something special.

Bookee has introduced Zapier integration.

With Zapier, you can automate data sharing between different software that your studio uses, saving you time and effort.

Setting up a Zap requires answering the following questions:

• What apps do I want to use?

• What event will trigger my Zap?

• What event will my Zap perform?

• What information do I want to move between those apps?

Accordingly, let’s see how this works based on a textbook example.

A potential client signs up for your studio’s classes but doesn’t make a purchase.

What’s the plan of action?

You assign the lead to a staff member so they develop a rapport. Here’s what it would look like while setting up a Zap:

• What apps do I want to use?- Bookee & Slack

• What event will trigger my Zap?- New lead captured in Bookee

• What event will my Zap perform?- Send a message in the concerned Slack channel about the new lead capture

• What information do I want to move between those apps? Name & date of sign up

It’s as streamlined as that!

We believe that with Zapier, you can focus on your growth strategy while all of your data management is automated.
