Manage Your Yoga & Pilates Classes

Namaste, everyone! I don’t know about you, but sometimes it seems like signing up for a yoga class at my favorite place is more complex than a Sirsa Padasana pose. And it doesn’t have to be that way- yoga is an activity that I, and many others, enjoy doing to clear the mind after a long day. Making it frustrating and counterintuitive to sign up for tickets doesn’t truly fit in with the peaceful, meditative nature that yoga grants us. Luckily, it’s become a lot easier with a lot of the event registration softwares out there. Ticketbud in particular has been used a lot by yoga studios in order to not only easily sell spots in classes, but also to advertise their studios on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Why Use Ticketbud For Yoga and Pilates Classes?

Making sure that classes are advertised and intuitive to purchase is important to make sure that studios are filled with clients. More importantly, you’ll be able to support yourself and the studio. Ticketbud makes it very easy to turn that into a reality.

Multiple Classes:

Ticketbud supports multiple ticket types, discount codes, and promotional codes. It also can enforce a quantity and a maximum purchase for different tickets, thus ensuring that you get a diverse group in your studio. Furthermore, you can choose to charge for the classes or keep them as free depending on what you’re looking to do. If it’s a private class you can set it to invite only, or you can choose to send out RSVPs. If you have multiple types of classes, you can create different ticket types for them. And if the same class happens multiple times a week or month or year, you can set the recurring event type.

Ticketbud Widget:

This is the best option for most yoga and pilates studios out there: you can import a ticket-buying widget onto your website so that anyone coming to your website can easily and quickly purchase tickets to your class. There is also a calendar option which I wish more yoga studios would take care of. Many of them may post a week’s classes, but things change and I like to have a schedule planned out for a month in advance.   [caption id="attachment_22361" align="alignnone" width="450"]Setting up a yoga page with Ticketbud's ticket widget An excellent example of a yoga retreat using Ticketbud’s event registration software widget[/caption]

Backend:

You’ll get access to your client’s information on the backend of Ticketbud, and you’ll also be able to promote your tickets on social media and your own website. Getting access to client information will allow you to think about the type of clients you attract the most and market towards other potential clients of the same type! Another cool feature is that you’ll be able to send emails to previous purchasers to alert them of upcoming discounts and cool events you’re running!

Conclusion:

When it comes to making sure your yoga or pilates classes are filled and your clients are well informed, Ticketbud and its ticket widget are the perfect choices for any instructor.
