## The problem: every empty class costs you twice

You pay the coach, block the room, and market the slot. When the class misses
the mark, that money is gone and your members still didn't get what they
wanted. CrowdPleaser shows you who wants what before you commit a single time
slot.

## How it works: from idea to a full roster in four steps

1. **Post your ideas.** Create a facility that matches your brand, then list
   the classes, clinics, or events you're considering as programs. Tag them by
   skill level, age group, or time slot using your own labels.
2. **Share one link.** Drop it in your newsletter, group chat, or front desk QR
   code. Members vote with just their email. No app, no account, no friction.
3. **Watch demand rank itself.** Votes stack up, tag preferences show you who
   wants beginner versus advanced, and members suggest ideas you hadn't thought
   of.
4. **Launch to a warm list.** One click emails everyone who raised their hand.
   They asked for it; now tell them it's on the schedule.

## Features

CrowdPleaser is not another booking system. It answers the one question booking
systems can't: before you build this, who actually wants it?

- **Demand, ranked.** Every idea shows a live vote count. Your next schedule
  practically writes itself.
- **Your tags, your language.** Beginner, V5, kids, competition team. Define the
  labels that fit your facility.
- **Members pitch ideas.** They suggest, you approve. Nothing goes public
  without your sign-off.
- **Reward every vote.** Offer a coupon code, PDF, or link that unlocks the
  moment someone participates.
- **Launch broadcasts.** One click emails everyone who raised their hand when
  the class goes live.
- **Every vote is a lead.** Votes capture emails, so demand arrives with a
  contact list attached.
- **One link, anywhere.** Newsletter, Instagram bio, a QR code at the front
  desk. No app for members to install.
- **Keeps your tools.** Validate here, then book in whatever scheduling system
  you already use. Download a CSV of every vote.

## Pricing: one plan, less than one empty class

A single no-show class costs you more in coaching hours than CrowdPleaser costs
in a month. Validate one program and it pays for the year.

**CrowdPleaser Pro, $25 USD per month.** Monthly subscription, cancel anytime.
No setup fees, no per-member charges.

Included:

- 1 facility, unlimited programs, matching your brand
- Member voting with email capture, with an easy download to upload to your CRM
  of choice
- Custom tags and member suggestions
- Incentives to build hype, and launch broadcasts to fill the room on day one

## What this looks like at your facility

Same tool, different rooms. Here's how class-based businesses run demand
discovery.

- **Swim school.** Tests an adult stroke clinic before hiring a specialist
  coach. Twenty votes by Friday means the contract gets signed. Three votes
  means the idea waits, and no lane time was wasted.
- **Climbing gym.** Posts a technique clinic and tags it V3, V4, and V5. The
  votes show demand sits at V4, so that's the clinic that runs, at the level
  people will actually attend.
- **Weight gym.** Lists three possible lifting workshops and lets members pick.
  The winner sells out because every voter got the launch email the day
  registration opened.
- **Pickleball facility.** Validates tournament formats before booking courts.
  Round robin beats single elimination two to one, and the bracket fills in a
  week.
- **CrossFit box.** Floats a 5:30am class with a coupon incentive for voting.
  Enough early birds raise their hands to justify the slot, and they show up
  because they asked for it.
- **Hyrox studio.** Gauges interest in an 8-week race prep program. Members
  suggest a weekend option the owner hadn't considered. It becomes the best
  attended block of the season.

## Frequently asked questions

**Do my members need an account or an app?**
No. Members open your link, tap a class they want, and leave their email.
That's the entire experience on their side. Low friction means more votes, and
more votes means a clearer picture of demand.

**Is this a booking or scheduling system?**
No, and that's the point. Booking systems manage classes you've already
committed to. CrowdPleaser answers the question that comes first: who actually
wants this? Keep your existing booking tools. Validate here, then schedule
there. Download every email as a CSV. How a board and a waitlist work together:

**Who is CrowdPleaser built for?**
Class-based businesses: pickleball facilities, climbing gyms, CrossFit boxes,
Hyrox studios, pilates and yoga studios, martial arts academies, dance studios,
and anyone else who has to decide what goes on next month's schedule.

**How does it actually fill classes?**
Every vote captures an email. When you launch the class, one click sends a
broadcast to everyone who asked for it. You open registration with a list of
warm leads instead of a cold announcement.

**How do I get members to vote?**
Share one link in your newsletter, group chat, or a QR code at the front desk.
You can also attach an incentive, like a coupon code or a free PDF, that
unlocks the moment someone votes or suggests an idea. This plus a sharing link
helps spread the word.

**What does it cost?**
$25 a month, cancel anytime. 1 facility, unlimited programs and votes, all
features included. One validated class typically covers the cost many times
over.
