You will face a lot of challenges when you first start a business. There is an endless amount of things that you have to take care of. From the business ideas to the logistics and administrative aspects, you will have to handle everything. So if managing an online booking system or having one is not your forte, perhaps you can try alleviating that burden with Verlocal Pro.

What is Verlocal Pro?

Verlocal Pro is a sophisticated platform that integrates 3main features seamlessly. The 4 main features include an online booking system, an integrated Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tool as well as marketing and automated remarketing services.

Read up on Vulcan Post’s feature on Verlocal Singapore here to find out more.

Online Booking System

Our online booking system helps you to achieve sales 24/7. By adding Verlocal’s plugin, you can convert your website into a fully functional e-commerce booking site.

As of now, you may be handling most of the administrative matters of your business through Whatsapp and emails. However, in the long run, that might not be too convenient as these channels will be bombarded with potential customers asking questions, booking your classes and many more. This makes it quite difficult for you to handle and you may miss out on a potential customer joining your class if there is an overload of messages and emails.

Thus, Verlocal Pro is a great way to make your life and your customers’ life easier. Customers can easily book your classes and pay at anytime and anywhere. And you won’t have the trouble of missing out on attending a customer when they need you.

With emails and Whatsapp, you must craft your message to tailor to whichever classes that you will be conducting. But with Verlocal’s plugin, you just need to put a description of your class and the dates that you will be having your classes on. You can then just click the button and you’re done with setting up your listing!

Your customers will be able to see everything at one glance, such as all the dates for your class, the timings of the class, and they can also browse any other classes that you have in store through your business profile page.

This coordinated system saves you the trouble of back and forth communication, especially when there are changes you would like to make regarding the dates and timing of the classes, which I will delve into in the next section.

Integrated Customer Relationship Management Tool

This tool helps you to bridge the gap between you and your customers. You can easily run promotions and interact with your customers via this tool. If your customers request a change in date, you can easily transfer to them to their desired date, without any hassle!

You can also create discount codes within your listing so that your customers can add them in when booking the classes that they want to attend. Gift services are also possible — you can offer your services or workshops as a gift to someone to buy for their family or friends.

Marketing and Remarketing

One of the best parts about joining Verlocal Pro is the marketing that we will do for you.

“The heart of your business success lies in its marketing.” Marketing is an important strategy that ensures your business grows. Publicising your business helps you to expand your customer base, by spreading word to potential customers. Hence, it is definitely something you would want to incorporate in your business strategy.

But if you’re new to marketing and need some help in taking the first step, you can make use of our marketing efforts.

When you sign up for Verlocal Pro, you can get exclusive access to our Verlocal Series marketing efforts which include two videos — one to publicise your workshop and the other to publicise you as a host — and one full-length customer review article. You can use these videos and article to publicise on your on websites as well!

As for remarketing, Verlocal runs social media ads for you on Facebook to remind potential customers about your classes and these ads cost you NOTHING at all! Moreover, it is automatic. Once the pro plugin is on your website, the ads will run automatically and you can sit back and let the ads work their magic.

Additional Services

The pro plugin includes an integrated payment gateway. All your customer has to do is to key in their information and payment details. This ease of transaction will definitely be favourable in your customers’ eyes and more likely to attract them to your business. As for yourself, the business owner, online payment secures commitment from your customers and ensures that they are accounted for.

All payments are tracked and recorded. Thus, in the event that there are some unseen circumstances that cause you to cancel your class, you will easily be able to refund your customers without any trouble.

You will also be able to set up a group message using the pro plugin, to send a message to all those customers who will be attending, once they have paid.
