Grow your studio's customer base with the LaterOn app
➤➤ What is LaterOn?
LaterOn is a free social planning app for arranging same-day hangouts. Jen picks a place to meet friends later on that day. The app sends a push notification with the details of the outing to her friends (including your business), and it shows up on their homepage, too. Friends click yes or no. Jen and friends get together. It's as simple as that.
➤➤ Where did the idea come from?
As Covid restrictions were winding down, I sat in my house wanting to get out and be with people, but texting was cumbersome and social platforms didn't fit the bill. I simply wanted to ask who wants to meet me for coffee this morning? and there wasn't an easy way.
Now there is.
➤➤ How does someone plan an outing at my studio?
If your business is on Apple Maps, you're on LaterOn, showing up within a 15-mile radius of where people are searching. Every LaterOn user also sees your listing when someone in their circle chooses it for a hangout. The best part of being on the LaterOn app? Because that one person invites their own crew - and the option to include friends of friends! - chances are pretty good that someone in that group is walking through your door for the first time.
➤➤ How is my studio's visibility increased when someone is deciding where to go?
You're a LO-cation: Your studio appears on the homepage before users have even started planning, right when they're most open to ideas. Additionally, when someone starts planning a hangout, the second screen shows a map with local recommendations beneath it (your studio!).
You're not waiting to be found. You're already there.
Turn a slow weekday into income: as a Featured LO-cation, you can showcase a repeating offer. Maybe Tuesdays are $5 off $25, or Wednesdays are 20% off mosaics. The offer is displayed only on the day it's valid; confirm the groups' offer by simply asking the organizer to show their LaterOn plans in their app.

➤➤ Affiliate marketing
Think about all of the business owners you know in your community. The power of working together means your collective reach is far greater than any one business could do alone.
LaterOn is built around a simple idea: local businesses thrive when their community gathers around them. The more business owners in your network who recommend the LaterOn app, the stronger that reach becomes for everyone.
The best part? Share your personal LO link with other business owners and not only do they get the special intro pricing ($33 a month**), you earn 50% of what they sign up for. ***
