We get it. As a class provider, you’re a one (wo)man multi-channel business. You’re juggling social media, email marketing, venue and booking admin and planning your classes, not to mention actually delivering them! It’s a lot.
When overwhelm threatens, take a breath. Put the kettle on. We’re here to make your life easier, with our ultimate time-saving tools for class providers.
How Happity can help:
As a small business ourselves, we totally understand the juggle. We built Happity to be hassle-free for you, AND simple for your customers, while saving you time on marketing too.
Here are our top tips for making Happity do the hard work for you:
- Make sure you’re listing all your classes
Happity lets you list your classes FOR FREE and puts them in front of thousands of new parents each week. Let us bring the customers to you by making sure you have your full timetable listed. It’s easier than ever with our new, more user-friendly Dashboard. Remember, you can save time by re-using the same Activities rather than recreating them each time you add a new class (see below):
- Make use of our Virtual Assistant service
Time-poor? Why not let our Virtual Assistant do the work for you and get your profile and listings up on the site quickly. The service costs £25 + VAT per hour, and we only need a few details from you to get us started. Just email [email protected] to get started, or see our full guide.
- Switch on Happity bookings
To fully maximise Happity’s potential, try upgrading to Membership and turning on Happity Bookings. We know parents on Happity want to make a booking, and our bookable pages get 4x more views on average. Without bookings switched on, you’re missing out on being seen by lots of parents looking for classes just like yours. Simply connect your Stripe to get started.

Other time-saving tools our team love:
- Canva
We’ve been using Canva for creating and editing graphics, videos, images and social media posts for years now. Accessible and easy-to-use, its free version has plenty of templates that you can work with if you’re not super design-savvy. - Buffer
When you’re starting up your own business and have fingers in lots of pies, social media (which often demands daily attention) can feel difficult to keep track of! Scheduling your posts can be a gamechanger. The free version of Buffer lets you schedule up to 10 posts (per channel) at a time. - Notion
Notion‘s connected workspace lets you manage projects from beginning to end and prioritise your workload, with intuitive checklists, timelines and workflows. Having everything in one place can really help! - Chat GPT or Google Gemini
While nothing beats a real human for writing with an authentic voice, AI has come on leaps and bounds in recent years. Don’t be afraid to use it for researching topics, improving your copy and checking grammar, etc.
Good luck! And don’t forget to share your tips with your fellow class providers in our Facebook forum.
