Aromatherapists: run essential oil workshops with places

A workshop works when the right number of people turn up: enough to make it worthwhile, not so many that you run out of bottles or table space. Taking names by message, you never quite know. With Book, each workshop is a service with a set number of places; participants book their own place, and when the workshop is full it leaves your page.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity. Create one service per workshop theme:

Durations, places and prices are examples: set places to your tables and materials.

Each online booking takes one place, so you know exactly how many kits to prepare. A friend who wants to join books their own place. When the last place goes, the workshop leaves your page, so nobody turns up to find no seat.

Tell participants not to write health details in the booking note: it appears in their calendar file. Anyone with a question can contact you before booking.

Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. A monthly workshop can be added date by date, and a seasonal theme, such as a winter blends workshop, can be its own service with its own end date so it leaves your page when the season ends.

For birthdays, hen parties or associations, create a private workshop with one place per slot: the organiser books once for the whole group. Ask in the note for the number of people and the address if you travel. The note reaches you in the new booking email.

For a team workshop at a company, create the booking yourself from your bookings list, or a dedicated service named with the company and date. Book doesn't take payments or issue invoices, so invoice the company as you do now.

Some participants want a personal consultation afterwards. Mention your consultation service at the end of the workshop and in its description; they can book it from your page. See the guide on consultations and blend collection.

Participants can't move or cancel online: they contact you. If you cancel a workshop, cancel the bookings and tell each participant yourself, since Book doesn't email clients about changes. The booking form takes a phone number and an email, so you can reach everyone.

Book doesn't take payments, sell tickets or gift vouchers, or send reminders. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
