Consumer Services

More bookings, better leads, loyal clients.

Studios, clinics, salons and spas live by their diaries. Consumer financial brands, from investments and savings to insurance and lending, live by trust. We help both: filling appointments and memberships, turning considered decisions into qualified leads, and building the loyalty that keeps clients coming back.

Everything that fills the diary and the pipeline

We connect your marketing to your booking system or CRM, so every campaign is measured on appointments, qualified leads and revenue, not clicks.

Be found

Local search, maps and paid campaigns that reach people nearby who are ready to book.

Inspire

Social content and ads that show the experience, explain the product and make people want it.

Book or apply

Websites, booking journeys and lead funnels that make it effortless to choose a time, request a call or start an application.

Return

Email, memberships and service that turn a first visit into a regular habit.

Platforms we work with

Growth measured in appointments

Booking Growth

We plan campaigns around your capacity, filling quieter days and times, launching new locations and promoting the treatments and services with the best margins.

An agent that knows your diary

Our agentic system connects booking platforms such as Zenoti with your ads, website and email, so marketing decisions are based on real appointments and revenue.

Agents watch capacity and client behaviour and draft campaigns, and our team decides what to run, so every location gets attention.

You
Where do we have spare capacity next week?
Weekday mornings at two locations are less than half booked. Clients who booked those times before often respond to reminder emails, so I have drafted a short campaign to that group.
You
How are new memberships doing?
Up on last month, mostly from clients who tried a single session first. I have suggested a follow-up offer for recent first-time visitors.

The building has stood on the Thames for the best part of a century, and for fifty years it kept London’s lights on. We like the precedent.

Consumer services marketing questions, answered

What types of consumer businesses do you work with?

Two groups. Service businesses such as studios, clinics, salons, spas and fitness and wellbeing brands, from single locations to international groups. And consumer financial brands, such as investment, savings, insurance and lending products. What they share is a need to win trust, fill the diary or pipeline, and keep clients coming back.

Do you market consumer financial products?

Yes. Investments, savings, insurance and lending are considered purchases, so we focus on education, trust and clear next steps, with funnels that qualify leads before they reach your sales team. For Decant Group, an alternative investment business, we delivered 477% more leads at 11% lower cost per lead. We work alongside your compliance team so financial promotions stay clear, fair and not misleading.

How do you increase bookings?

We combine local search, paid search and social campaigns with a smooth online booking journey and strong retention emails. Campaigns are planned around your capacity, so we focus effort on the days, times and services you most need to fill.

Do you work with booking platforms like Zenoti?

Yes. We work with Zenoti and other booking systems to connect marketing with real appointment data. That lets us measure campaigns on bookings and revenue, and trigger reminders and win-back messages automatically.

Can you help with multiple locations?

Yes. We keep the brand consistent while tailoring campaigns, local search and offers to each location, and we report results by site so you can see where to invest.

Can you help us sell products as well as services?

Yes. Many service brands also sell products online. For FACEGYM, we grew eCommerce purchases and studio bookings together, with strategy, paid media and email working as one system.

How do you measure success?

We track bookings, revenue per client, rebooking rate, membership growth and cost per new client, alongside online sales where relevant. Everything is reported in plain language with clear next steps.

How important are reviews?

Very. Reviews influence both search visibility and the decision to book. We help you ask for reviews at the right moment, respond well and use great feedback in your marketing.

How do we get started?

Start with a conversation about your locations, services and goals. We usually review your bookings data and marketing, then recommend the steps most likely to fill your diary.

Bring us the ambition. We’ll build the system behind it.
