Building Confidence, One Booking at a Time
“This isn’t just a booking system — it’s a confidence machine.”
We helped this self-esteem program fill every spot, cut no-shows, and keep things running like clockwork. Here’s how we did it.
📌 Project Snapshot
Client: In-person workshop series for young people focused on building self-esteem
Goal: Increase registrations and maximise attendance
What We Delivered:
High-converting landing page with 2-step registration funnel
Full back-end automation system with confirmations and reminders
Facebook Ads targeting local, topic-specific audiences
Outcome: Consistently hit capacity with higher confirmation and show-up rates
🎯 The Challenge
Our client was running an in-person Self-Esteem Workshop and needed a reliable system to promote the program, manage bookings, reduce no-shows, and make the whole process smoother — both for the organisers and the participants. Like a lot of community-based programs, the goal wasn’t just to get signups, but to get actual bums on seats.
🛠️ What We Did
✅ 1. Landing Page & Funnel
We built a custom landing page with a clear, friendly overview of the program — who it’s for, what’s involved, and how to sign up. But instead of jumping straight into a long form…
We used a two-step funnel to reduce drop-offs.
Step 1: Name and email to unlock the calendar
Step 2: After choosing a date, users completed the full registration
That early name + email capture allowed us to follow up with people who bailed halfway, nudging them to finish the process later. Simple, but powerful.
✅ 2. Back-End Systems
Once registered, participants were automatically entered into a visual pipeline system, which showed exactly where each person was at — from “Booked” to “Confirmed” to “Attended.”
“No spreadsheets. No guessing. Just a clear visual of every booking at a glance.”

We set up a series of automated messages:
📩 Instant booking confirmation
⏰ 1 week out: a text asking for a “YES” reply to confirm their spot
❌ Cancel link included, so dropped spots could be filled early
🔁 If no reply: a follow-up text the next day
📋 2 days before: casual reminder with what to bring
📢 1 day before: firm “don’t forget” reminder
Each response triggered its own friendly, pre-written follow-up, and each action moved the participant across the pipeline. Organisers didn’t have to manually chase anyone — it all happened behind the scenes.
The result? More confirmations. More show-ups. Less chaos.
✅ 3. Facebook Ads
We ran targeted Meta Ads focused on three key factors:
📍 Location — within driving distance of the venue
👩👧 Demographic — tailored to the age/gender of the session
🎯 Topic — copy and visuals tied directly to confidence, resilience, and growth
The ads pushed traffic straight to the funnel — and because everything worked together, the workshops consistently filled to capacity.
📈 What Happened
This wasn’t a flashy “marketing campaign.” It was a clean, practical system that worked — and kept working. The team behind the workshop now gets:
More signups
Higher confirmation rates
Better turnouts
Zero stress on the admin side
