Bookings · Session types

What you sell, and what actually sells

Every card shows bookings and enquiry-to-booking rate, so a package that does not earn its place is obvious.

Booked, and whether they are ready

A session is not ready because it is paid. It is ready when the paperwork is in too.

Bookings · Offers

Reasons to book, not pressure to book

No countdown timers and no invented scarcity. An offer states a real reason or it does not exist.
CodeWhat it doesWho it is forUsedState

A referral code that pays a past client back is the only discount that reliably earns more than it costs. The off-season one exists because February is genuinely quiet, which is a true reason.
