Vagaro’s Financial Relief - COVID-19 Crisis
As the coronavirus crisis continues, many of our small businesses are reeling from the short-term effects on business, and they are anxious about the potential for long-term impact. Yesterday we made an announcement that offered help in this difficult situation, which was appreciated by many, but perhaps we fell short of expectations for some of you. We have always taken pride in the fact that our company caters to businesses of all sizes and I founded this company to build powerful tools at reasonable pricing. I do not intend to forget our roots during this crisis.
I have had the honor of getting to know many of you personally over the years and I have had the privilege of helping your business thrive by designing software solutions guided by your insights and suggestions. Some of you have been loyal to Vagaro for over ten years and now we are here to support you.
It is unclear how long the COVID-19 Pandemic will last, but our intention is to consistently support you throughout the duration of this crisis.
Starting today and for as long as it takes, we will be providing every Vagaro business with the following help each month:
Monthly Discount: $25 Off Subscription
50,000 Email Marketing Messages: FREE
1,000 Text Marketing Messages: FREE
Online Shopping Cart: FREE
These relief measures will enable booth renters and sole proprietors to use Vagaro and the power of all its marketing features for free.
To enable your clients to pitch in and help your business, we have also placed a prominent banner on Vagaro.com. The banner encourages visitors to support businesses affected by COVID-19 by buying gift certificates, memberships, packages or products. Your loyal customers can simply click on the button Find Businesses to Support to search and buy from you online. We have seen an increase of 15% in online shopping. Please do take advantage of that.
Going forward, the entire Vagaro team will be focused completely on developing new features to help you stay connected to customers, some of which will be released in two weeks.
Stay safe,
Fred Helou

Your business page holds a lot of important information, but some of the most necessary is what you offer to your clientele. Whether it’s highlights & extensions, a HIIT class or a Swedish massage, you can list it on your Vagaro page and users can book with you knowing they’ve chosen the right business to get exactly what they’re looking for.
In 2021, our customers held 224,261 live sessions for their clients. And now, we’ve zoomed past the competitors with our own Vagaro Live Streaming, which you can access through the same app you use for booking! There are many reasons why live streams may be more convenient for your clients, so offering things like live yoga classes, makeup & hair tutorials or a streamed group workout opens up options for them and avenues of passive income for you.
Word of mouth is a powerful tool for any business, and these days the chatter is all online. So, encourage your clients to leave you feedback for others to see on your Vagaro page! You can even offer promotions like 10% off a next visit for leaving a review. Only verified clientele (those who book with you through Vagaro) can leave reviews, ensuring feedback is fair & honest. You can reply to reviews to help further your client-business relationship and foster customer loyalty.
Give clients an online store that fits in their pocket! They can browse your digital shelves and purchase products, gift certificates, memberships and packages. Earn consistently by integrating online sales and keep 100% of your profits since Vagaro doesn't charge commissions. Clients can purchase from your Vagaro booking page, your social channels or from your own website via the Vagaro Booking Widget. Offer in-store pick-up or automatically calculate shipping costs. And, when it comes to your inventory, we have the automation to get it taken care of with a system that automatically detects low quantities so you can create and send purchase orders in a timely fashion. It’s just another way Vagaro works to make your life that much easier.

Fitness software helps fitness professionals effectively manage and grow their businesses. Major functions can include online booking, automated class scheduling, payment processing, client management and marketing. Fitness software is used by businesses of all sizes in the fitness industry.
Fitness software prices can vary from limited, free plans to monthly rates over $200. Vagaro fitness software has a base $25 monthly cost that includes class scheduling, membership creation, contactless check-in & many more solutions.
Vagaro fitness software helps business owners grow their business by:
• Automating many daily operation tasks
• Engage with & market to customers in new ways
• Provide in depth business reports to help owners make informed decisions
No, most fitness software require business owners to find their own payment solution. However, Vagaro offers a payment system that integrates seamlessly with their fitness software.
Although customer support is typically included with fitness software, it's often limited to phone support or a help page. Vagaro offers phone support, online chat, a dedicated support site & a YouTube support channel filled with intuitive videos to help solve your software questions.
Vagaro offers multiple options to help transition businesses to their fitness software. These include:
• Importing client lists through the friendly integration team
• Weekly online class training when you need it
• Customer support specialists
