For sports organizations managing registrations, bookings, memberships, and communications every day, small pain points can quickly add up to a lot of wasted time.

An extra step during registration. A message sent to people who don’t need it. Multiple booking packages needed just to offer different durations. A financial report that’s difficult to understand. These everyday challenges can make operations more complicated, slow your team down, and ultimately affect the experience you provide to your participants.

At Activity Messenger, our latest improvements are designed to address these challenges: less manual work for your team, more flexibility for your clients, and better visibility into your operations. Here’s what’s new in August 👇

Make Coupons Easier to Use

Coupons are a great way to encourage registrations, reward customers, or offer benefits tied to a membership. But when using a coupon requires extra steps, it can also create friction during the registration process. With automatic coupon application, customers can now purchase a coupon and use it directly within the same registration process. Coupons included with a membership can also be automatically applied to eligible activities.

The result? Your customers can take advantage of their discounts and benefits more easily, without having to manage each coupon manually. It’s a simple way to make promotions easier to use while reducing manual work for your team.

Offer More Flexibility with Booking Durations

Your clients don’t always have the same needs. One person may need a one-hour booking, while another may prefer a different duration. Being able to offer multiple durations within the same booking package gives customers more flexibility without requiring your team to create and manage a separate package for every option. This is especially useful for sports organizations offering facility rentals, court bookings, room rentals, or other services where booking durations can vary.

Send More Relevant Communications

Personalizing your communications isn’t just about adding a customer’s first name to an email. To be effective, your messages need to be relevant. If you offer multiple programs, groups, or activities, you may need to communicate with specific people based on their answers to a form. The more precise your targeting, the easier it is to avoid sending irrelevant messages.

Activity Messenger’s new targeting options let you combine multiple filters to build more targeted email and SMS audiences. You can then reach the right people with the right message, at the right time.

Make Financial Data Easier to Understand

Financial reports are essential for understanding the health of your organization, but having access to the data is only part of the equation. Your team also needs to understand what that data means and how the underlying processes work.

That’s why Activity Messenger now includes built-in guidance directly within financial reports. Teams can get helpful context on processes such as payment reconciliation and bank account reconciliation without having to leave the report or look elsewhere for answers.

The goal isn’t just to provide more information. It’s to make financial data clearer, more accessible, and easier to use day to day.

Other Improvements This Month

Several other updates were also introduced to make Activity Messenger more flexible and efficient:

  • Get better visibility into deferred revenue with a new sales report designed to make financial tracking easier;
  • Keep customer data cleaner and better organized with improved CRM tools for managing participants across multiple accounts, identifying duplicates, and transferring or sharing access without losing important customer history;
  • Automatically adapt pricing, taxes, and ledger codes based on participant criteria;
  • Save time managing email signatures by creating new signatures from existing templates;
  • Let customers choose their preferred communication channel, between email and SMS;
  • Offer more flexibility with booking requests by allowing clients to submit a request before making a payment, giving your team the opportunity to review and approve or reject it before charging the client or releasing the spot.

Whether it’s making registrations simpler, targeting communications more effectively, offering more flexibility when booking, or making financial data easier to understand, the best improvements are often the ones that make everyday work a little easier.

And when those small improvements add up, your entire operation becomes more efficient, while your participants get a smoother experience along the way.
