At Uplifter, each of our plans comes with an unlimited member database size. This means, we won’t charge you higher plan fees if your business grows. Instead, we encourage your studio growth and we’ve built our software to help you achieve it!
Scale your studio with automation
Good software helps studios grow with cutting-edge automation. If your studio doubles in size, you shouldn’t need to double your admin staff. By automating time-consuming and repetitive tasks your admins can confidently scale your studio and manage more members.
Thanks to Uplifter’s dance and ballet studio software, your staff can track insights from 30+ built-in reports. Using these customizable reports, staff can analyze studio revenues, overdue payments, dancer retention, forecast growth, and more.
Your studio deserves the benefits of a turn-key software solution. That’s why you need intuitive software that’s packed with time and money saving tools to help grow your club.
Below, we’ve outlined 7 benefits of ballet studio software. Read on to find out more.
1) Flexible payment options help you reach more dancers
It can be tough for some families to budget one lump-sum fee for their child’s dance classes. So, look for software that provides payment flexibility with installment payments and monthly subscriptions.
With installment payments, your members can make payments in smaller chunks throughout the season. For even more flexibility, monthly subscriptions allow members to easily manage smaller payments each month. These smaller, regular payments can also be a great way to regulate cash flow at your studio.
Increasing your studio’s payment flexibility keeps your members coming back, even if times get tough.
Furthermore, financial flexibility also opens your studio to families that are seeking smaller installments or monthly fees. As a result, your ballet classes can reach a wider audience and experience increased demand.
2) Real-time class availability can increase sales
The fear of missing out (FOMO) is a big motivator for sales. Parents don’t want their child to miss out on their favorite dance class. That’s why Uplifter’s software shows real-time class availability during registration.
By displaying how many openings are left in your class, parents are encouraged to quickly signup before your class is full. As a result, demand can increase and your classes can fill up faster.
3) Keep interested parents informed to recapture sales
As your ballet classes fill up more quickly, you need to keep interested parents informed. With good ballet studio software, parents are prompted to add their child to a class’s waitlist as soon as that class is full.
In this way, it’s easy for your administrators to keep interested parents updated if a new opening becomes available. With Uplifter, our automated waitlist feature can automatically email a unique registration link to the next person on your waitlist as soon as a spot opens up. This saves your staff time and speeds up the sales process!
Ultimately with automated waitlists, your ballet studio software can recapture interested prospects and process their registration while you’re away from your desk. It’s a game changer.
Say goodbye to full-time hands-on registration management. When you can recapture sales like this, you can makes money without lifting even a finger.
4) Promotional tools and automations that help you get paid faster
Ballet studio software should come with built-in promotional tools. That’s one of the reasons why we built a comprehensive and flexible discount tool.
Give your studio the power to offer buy-one-get-one discounts, multi-student discounts, multi-class discounts, and more.
Offering promotions is an easy way to encourage multi-class or multi-student signups. But they’re also a great way to reward your long-time students with loyalty discounts.
Get paid faster with automated ballet studio software
Whether a family uses a discount or registers at standard pricing, it’s important that they pay on time.
Using Uplifter, dance and ballet studios can take advantage of automated overdue payment reminders. These reminders are automatically emailed to families if an invoice becomes overdue.
These automated overdue payment reminders help keep member payments on-track. Plus, they save your admin team time. When simple emails like these are automated, admins won’t have to focus on tracking down dues. Instead, your staff can focus on positive customer engagement and dance studio growth!
5) Offer faster registration with automated ballet studio software
Automated ballet studio software will drastically decrease registration times. Uplifter’s software automatically uses the information on your member accounts to fast-track registration. This means members won’t waste time filling out basic info fields like name, gender, age, and address.
Plus, with Uplifter’s intuitive software, we automatically match prerequisite class data to ensure your dancers are eligible for more advanced classes. If a dancer doesn’t have the required prerequisites, they won’t be able to register for the advanced class. This drastically helps cut down on registration errors (see below).
Our dance and ballet studio software quickly pulls all of this information in the background for an easy and fast registration experience. Thanks to this automation, members are only required to fill out any new fields, read new studio policies or sign digital liability waivers.
6) Eliminate registration errors to reclaim time
Get ballet studio software that eliminates registration errors for you. With Uplifter, you can easily set class prerequisites, gender and age requirements. When these elements are set, our system automatically prevents anyone from signing up for a class if they don’t match the specified requirements.
Why does this matter?
Numerous studios, schools and clubs say that this feature saves huge amounts of administrative work. Without it, registration errors can really add up.
When registration errors occur, administrators have to call parents and coordinate class corrections. Of course, dancers can’t switch into the class they want if that class is full. That can cause major headaches for admins, parents and children too!
If the above scenario plays out for multiple kids, administrators may spend a full week just trying to correct registration errors.
At the end of it all, some kids may be left out of class, and everyone that’s shifted around can be left feeling like your ballet studio isn’t well organized. This can hurt your dance studio brand and prevent parents from recommending your classes.
But, with good dance and ballet studio software like Uplifter, it’s easy to eliminate those risks.
When you eliminate registration errors, you strengthen your brand, improve customer service and increase the chances that your members will recommend your classes and help grow your club!
7) Create a comprehensive dance studio experience with family accounts
Parents love having all of their children’s information in one simple family account. With Uplifter’s family accounts parents can easily view class schedules for all their kids in one simple calendar.
Plus, parents can easily see skill evaluations and digital report cards for each child. In this way kids can also track what they’ve accomplished and understand what they need to work on next.
Family accounts also empower your membership with self-serve options.
When members can update their contact info, or make payments through their family account, your administrators won’t have to field those types of calls.
This not only saves your admins time; it saves parents time too. With these self-serve options, parents can accomplish their tasks at any time of day. They won’t have to wait for your regular business hours.
Do your members need to find their payment history? Our family accounts store that information too!
Inclusive studio management
As part of each child’s individual athlete profile in their family account, kids can see their custom gender field. For gender binary members, this gender field will say male or female, and likely won’t stand out.
However, for children who identify with a non-binary gender this custom gender field is a welcoming sign.
Childhood can be very challenging for kids that don’t identify with binary genders. But we know that when kids dance, schoolyard worries can disappear and they can experience the deep joy that dance brings. That’s why it can be so powerful to create an inclusive experience with your software.
By creating custom gender fields, your studio can ensure that non-binary gender dancers are welcomed with their gender preference reflected during registration, and on their individual participant profile.
In this way, your dance studio can ensure you create a welcoming environment for all children from your very first interaction.
