The benefits of the eola marketplace
The eola marketplace puts your activities in front of people who are ready to book something to do but haven’t found you yet. We promote your activities for you, so new customers can discover your centre while you focus on running great sessions.
New customers, ready to book
People are searching for things to do all the time: a weekend activity, birthday treat, a new hobby for the new year. However, it’s hard to focus on promoting your activities while also running a centre. We cover this for you. Through the eola marketplace, we list and promote your activities so they show up at the top of Google and reach new people looking for exactly what you’re offering.
What it has brought our partners
Norfolk Snowsports Club already ran their skiing, snowboarding and tubing sessions on eola, so they went on the marketplace with the same availability and prices. In a year, that brought the club £36,000 in extra bookings: “That’s £36k of business we simply wouldn’t have had otherwise.” Read Norfolk Snowsports’ story.
Ardingly Activity Centre didn’t have to do anything extra either. Their activities are listed and promoted for them on the marketplace, and that has brought the centre nearly 500 new customers, with nothing new for their team to manage.
No extra work for you
The marketplace is part of your eola account, so your availability and prices are always up to date. Customers book your live sessions, pay online, and their bookings land in your calendar like any other. No extra work for you or your team.
What the marketplace costs
Marketplace commission is 18% + VAT, and you only pay this for bookings the marketplace brings you. This covers the work of promoting your activities and finding you new customers. It’s also what lets us keep our booking fee at 2% + VAT, one of the lowest booking fees in the UK.
Bookings customers make directly with you, on your own website or at your front desk, never include it, even when that customer first found you on the marketplace.
