What are the 5 key points when offering Group Classes and Bootcamps?
1. Booking a (trial) session

Old way
Clients call or text you via SMS, WhatsApp (group), or email. In other words: across multiple channels and devices.
New way
Via your AppyBee app or website widget, clients quickly and easily book their favorite workout.
Old result
You have to scramble to gather bookings and register them manually. If you're busy, you might reply late (angry client) or forget to process bookings.
New result
Clients find you easily and enjoy a great experience. Automated confirmation emails and reminders reduce no-shows. And you don't have to process anything by hand. AppyBee does it for you!
Endless back-and-forth calling, texting, or emailing. Comparing schedules. Logging bookings. Booking a (trial) session used to be a slow and tedious process. AppyBee streamlines and accelerates it, letting clients book via your own AppyBee app or website widgets. That way you save (a lot of) time and prevent no-shows, delayed replies, and frustrated clients.
2. Payment for the session

Old way
You have to track everything correctly and send invoices or payment requests yourself. For example by mail, email, a payment link, cash, or bank transfer.
Old result
Besides all the work—sending payment requests, checking bank statements, etc.—there are always clients who don't pay (right away). So you 'get' to chase them. Not exactly your favorite hobby!
New way
Clients pay beforehand or afterwards via your own app or website widget. Prefer the security of upfront payment? With AppyBee, you can require upfront payments through memberships, class packs, or one-off payments for drop-in classes.
New result
All payments arrive 'automagically'. No need to create invoices, chase anyone, and your admin is always in order. Plus: clients know exactly where they stand.
Handling payments used to mean doing it manually by drawing up invoices and/or sending payment requests. Along with all the risks: errors, lost messages, or non-payment. AppyBee takes over. Payments are automated, and chasing invoices is a thing of the past.
3. A client cancels a session

Old way
Clients call, text, WhatsApp, or email to let you know they won't make it.
Old result
You have to process all cancellations manually, which takes time, is error-prone, and requires administrative follow-up (crediting fees). On top of that, clients often cancel last-minute.
New way
Clients cancel via your own AppyBee app or website widget. And immediately see your cancellation policy.
New result
Because your policy is clear now, fewer clients cancel. And when they do, they rarely do so last-minute. Plus, you don't have to process cancellations yourself. Finally, some time for yourself!
When clients wanted to cancel a workout, it happened across all sorts of channels, like phone, WhatsApp, SMS, or email. With AppyBee, all clients cancel via your AppyBee app or website widgets. This prevents misunderstandings. What's more, your cancellation policy is clear: 'five minutes before start' cancellations are a thing of the past. Plus: AppyBee handles the admin for you.
4. A session is cancelled

Old way
You have to manually send a WhatsApp (group) message and/or announce via Instagram or Facebook that you can't make it. Plus, you have to refund payments manually.
Old result
You lose a lot of time and aren't even sure if clients have seen your cancellation. If not, clients can get frustrated. Super annoying!
New way
You send the cancellation via your AppyBee app or website widget. And boom, every client gets it instantly. Another perk: payments are handled automatically by AppyBee. No manual work required.
New result
You save a lot of time and your clients are all notified at once.

5. Communication with your clients

Old way
You send emails, post on Instagram and Facebook and/or stay in touch via WhatsApp and SMS.
Old result
Not all your clients keep an eye on every channel. So chances are they'll miss your messages or see them too late. For example, once your offer has expired! Another downside: not all communications reflect your own identity.
New way
You send push notifications via your own (and therefore instantly recognizable) app and/or email. Think YouTube or Vimeo videos, Facebook posts or Instagram updates. AppyBee takes care of it!
New result
All registered clients receive your messages and offers. And all that information is now in one place. Easy to find! Perfect for your branding and strengthening your business identity.
As fun and convenient as WhatsApp groups, Facebook, email, Instagram and the ‘old school’ phone are, setting up and maintaining client communication took a lot of time. With AppyBee, you send push notifications to your own app and to the email addresses of all your clients. In just one click. And completely in line with your brand identity.
