Increasing Bookings by 35% For a Local Yoga Studio

Project overview

Peppermint Hot Yoga, a local haven for wellness enthusiasts, partnered with Firefly to embark on a transformative digital journey. With a vision to expand their community and streamline operations, the objective was to create a comprehensive website and mobile app that would serve as the nucleus of their yoga studio business.

Challenge:

The challenge extended beyond a static online presence; it involved integrating a membership club, class bookings, and a seamless payment system. The goal was to create a user-friendly platform that not only reflected the serenity of their studio but also facilitated community engagement and business management.

Project execution

Website and Mobile App Development:

Our collaboration with Peppermint involved the creation of a dynamic website and a companion mobile app. The website became the hub for all studio activities, from class schedules to membership management, while the mobile app extended these functionalities to the fingertips of their members, enhancing accessibility.

Membership Club Integration:

To foster community growth, we integrated a robust membership club system. The platform allowed members to join, manage their subscriptions, and access exclusive benefits. The seamless integration facilitated an intuitive onboarding experience and encouraged sustained engagement.

E-Commerce Functionality:

The website served as an e-commerce hub, enabling members to purchase passes, reserve classes, and manage their accounts effortlessly. The streamlined payment process provided a frictionless experience, contributing to increased sales and revenue growth.

Email Marketing Automation:

To nurture member relationships and keep the community informed, we implemented email marketing functionality. Automated campaigns, newsletters, and updates were tailored to engage members and attract new participants to the studio's offerings.

Future-Proofing with Online Classes:

In anticipation of evolving industry trends, we laid the foundation for future growth by planning the incorporation of online classes. This forward-looking approach ensured Peppermint remained agile and responsive to the changing landscape of wellness and fitness.
