Memberships can help attract loyal customers to your business. Members are more likely to return, as they experience a closer connection to your business. With Bookeo you can offer tiered memberships, or levels, with specific benefits.
With memberships, you can offer special prices for your members, restrict the visibility of a particular service- or all your services - to your members only, and also offer free services to members.
