Limited Transparency in Pricing and Availability 

---

Prospective and returning hirers often have simple questions: ‘Is the space available? How much does it cost? Can I book here and now?’ 

If availability and pricing aren’t easy to access, enquiries quickly evolve into long email exchanges and repeated phone calls. That creates extra work for staff and may even put customers off booking, meaning valuable income opportunities can be lost. 

  

Let customers see availability instantly 

With online booking now being the norm, customers increasingly expect to check availability online. Without a live calendar, every enquiry relies on staff checking availability manually, making the process slower and increasing the risk of double bookings or outdated information causing confusion for everyone.  

With BookingsPlus you can display live availability calendars, allowing hirers to instantly see when your facilities are available without needing to contact your team. Our software also facilitates block and repeat bookings, making it simple for clubs and regular users to secure their sessions. 

Make pricing clear and consistent 

Different rates for community groups, clubs and commercial hirers can become confusing especially when pricing is managed manually or spread across multiple venues. Admin teams may need to calculate charges themselves or refer to different pricing lists before responding to an enquiry, increasing the risk of making mistakes or quoting different prices for similar bookings. By making pricing transparent and consistent, schools can give hirers confidence in what they’re paying and increases the chances of repeat bookings. 

BookingsPlus allows you to set different prices for different customer groups, booking types, age groups and peak or off-peak times as well as apply discounts for seasonal offers.
