Use cases / Offer Trial Classes

Turn curiosity into membership

The situation

At the street fair, you collect 30 leads for your dance school - everyone wants to come check it out. Two weeks later, you've seen three of them. The slips of paper with their numbers sit in the office, there's no time for phone calls, and the initial excitement has worn off. In the end, the expensive booth barely brought in any new students - even though interest was huge that day.

How SmartChat solves it

SmartChat follows up for you before the excitement cools off: every lead automatically gets an invitation to a trial class with specific class times to choose from. Anyone who responds gets a reminder before the class; anyone who doesn't gets a friendly second invitation. Your effort: set up the messages once. The automation handles the rest, included on the Basic plan and up.

FAQs

How do I collect leads in a GDPR-compliant way?

Through a QR code or link where SmartChat handles the double opt-in. Every lead actively confirms before receiving the first invitation.

What if someone doesn't respond to the invitation?

That's when the second, friendly follow-up message you scheduled in advance kicks in. No extra pressure needed - often that one reminder is exactly enough.

Can I offer trial classes for different courses?

Yes, you create a separate invitation for each course type - say salsa, hip-hop, or kids' dance - and assign each lead to the right one.

What does SmartChat cost for a use case like this?

Plans start at 299 euros, and the automations you need are included on the Basic plan and up. WhatsApp fees are billed directly by Meta, with no markup.
