Sessions are a great way to retain customers by enticing them with multiple visits for a discount. Sessions can be used to offer a free visit, such as buy 5 get one free or a discount on the regular price if 5 or 10 sessions are purchased in advance.
Sessions for stand-alone multiple booking services can be set up in the same way as single booking services above, however, as multiple bookings require a schedule you also have the ability to add sub-services to the same schedule to allow for even more booking options.
Example: You operate yoga classes that run for 10 weeks during each school term and your primary goal is to sell the entire term upfront. You create the main service, set the capacity and assign the number of sessions.
Creating a sub-service now allows you to add additional customers to any remaining spots for each class in order to fill your capacity. One way could be in the form of a 5 class pass option for those not able to commit to the full term or by creating casual passes for those wanting to try it out first or unable to commit for longer periods of time.
Sub-services can be created from any scheduled service by selecting the drop-down menu on the 'Services' page. All sub-services will share the same schedule as the parent/main service but no additional schedules can be created for the sub-service.
Sub-services are great for running promotions or specials to fill quiet times or to assist with client retention by offering a discount for a commitment to more sessions versus single visits.
The sub-service start and end date can be defined as normal to allow for limited-time promotions to help drive a sense of urgency.
The availability tab allows the sub-service to share all or some of the schedules assigned to the parent service but no additional schedules can be created. If the parent service has multiple schedules, the schedules not required can be deselected to allow for mid-week or daily specials. This is especially useful if the number of participants is low on a particular day of the week and you're looking at ways to fill spots and increase your revenue.
The example below shows the bold schedule is active and the faded schedule is inactive.
