FOR BIKE SHOPS

Service plans for bike shops

Sell three services as a plan in spring, when riders are keenest — and bank it against the winter, which is the part of this business that hurts.

  • Five passes free, no card required
  • Works with no signal
  • Cancel any time — clients keep their services

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Example figures, not research — put your own in the calculator below. What matters is the shape: a block priced a little under the sum of its parts, paid for on day one.

Winter is the problem a spring plan solves

Takings collapse in the cold and your rent does not. Plans sold in April are the most useful money this trade can take, because they are spent in January.

A serviced bike comes back

The rider who has two services left brings the bike to you rather than to the shop nearer their office. It also means the bike stays in a condition worth servicing.

Keep the block to a year

Three services is a season and a bit. A ten-service plan sounds generous and becomes an obligation you are still honouring at prices you set two years ago.

YOUR SIDE OF IT

One screen. Who is owed what.

Every client, every remaining service, every package you have sold. Search by name, phone number, pet or vehicle when there is no code to scan — for the client who turned up without their phone.

WORK IT OUT

What would prepaid be worth to you?

Your own numbers, in whatever currency you price in. Nothing is sent anywhere — this runs in your browser.

100 visits you have been paid for and not yet delivered. This is not profit until you do the work.

You give away 360 in discount against 3,000 at single-visit prices. The gain is the cash arriving first, and the visits that would otherwise not have been booked.

Start with five free passes.

No card required. Create your Three-service year, issue the first pass, and see it land in a client’s wallet in about two minutes.
