Your scheduling widget is often the first thing potential clients interact with. It's the moment they decide whether to book — or bounce. With Bookamat's custom class images, your scheduling widget now reflects the energy and personality of your studio, not just a list of class names and times.
Why visuals matter in booking
A scheduling widget showing "Vinyasa Flow — 6:00 PM — Studio A" gives clients the information they need. But a scheduling widget showing that same class with a vibrant photo of your studio, your teacher mid-flow, or a welcoming class in session gives them the feeling they need to hit "Book Now."
Visual content increases engagement by 40–60% across digital platforms. Your booking widget is no different — studios using custom images in their schedules report higher click-through rates and fewer abandoned bookings.
How it works
Adding custom images to your Bookamat scheduling widget is simple:
- Upload images per class type: In your Bookamat dashboard, navigate to your class settings and upload a featured image for each class type (Vinyasa, Reformer Pilates, Yin, etc.).
- Images appear automatically: Your embeddable scheduling widget immediately displays the images alongside class details — no code changes needed.
- Works everywhere: The images render beautifully whether the widget is embedded on your website, shared via a direct link, or viewed in the Bookamat client app.
Tips for great class images
- Use authentic photos: Real photos from your studio outperform stock images every time. Clients want to see the actual space they'll be practising in.
- Show people, not empty rooms: Images with practitioners (even shot from behind for privacy) create a sense of community and belonging.
- Keep it consistent: Use a similar style, lighting, and aspect ratio across all class images for a polished look.
- Update seasonally: Refresh images a few times a year to keep your widget looking current and vibrant.
The booking experience difference
Before custom images, a scheduling widget was functional — a list of times and class names. Now it's a window into your studio. Potential clients scrolling through your schedule get a visual preview of each class, helping them choose not just by time slot but by the experience they're looking for.
For multi-location studios, this is especially powerful. Each location can have its own imagery, helping clients connect with their local studio's unique character.
Custom class images are available to all Bookamat studios on every plan — including the free tier. Start your free trial and bring your schedule to life.
