Grow your business with the Sawyer Marketplace

The Sawyer Marketplace is an online hub for families to search for and discover activities, classes, camps, and more for their children and themselves. Instead of spending hours on Google, reaching out to friends for recommendations, and asking acquaintances on Facebook, families can go directly to the Sawyer Marketplace, search for the types of programs they want, and immediately find the perfect classes, camps, and drop-in activities for their children.

Providers can opt in to the Sawyer Marketplace at any time so that their upcoming activities and camps will be displayed to interested families without extra administrative work. Opting in to the Sawyer Marketplace offers many additional benefits to providers. Your online presence gets a boost and more families can keep your business top of mind as they search for activities in their area. Being listed on the Sawyer Marketplace helps providers fill unbooked spots in programs and generate new interest through free trials and events.

Reviews are an included bonus in the Sawyer for Business platform. Parents and caregivers are asked for feedback automatically through Sawyer and can share reviews on their account as well as on the Marketplace. This means newly interested families get to see what others loved about your programs and staff! Likewise, providers with activities on the Marketplace have additional exclusive opportunities to be featured in Sawyer marketing materials like email roundups to families, Instagram posts, and blog resources.

Families can search for and find activities from providers in their neighborhood and online on the Sawyer Marketplace. Once they have found an activity they want to book, they can register and pay directly through the Marketplace. After purchasing, customers can sync their Sawyer calendar to Google calendar or iCal and keep track of all of their children’s activities. When they sign up and book directly with you again, they’ll already have a Sawyer account to complete their future purchases.

When providers opt in to the Sawyer Marketplace, they’re able to showcase their activities and camps to reach additional customers. They can increase their enrollment and revenue by expanding their audience and community. In addition, activities on the Marketplace are highlighted in Sawyer marketing materials, including email roundups to families, Instagram posts and Stories, and more.

If you run a small program and are not yet able to support additional growth, offer private registration only, or always sell out through your own community marketing and outreach, then you might not need to participate in the Marketplace. However, if you have availability in your activities or want to grow your customer list, then the Marketplace is a great way to put those open spots in front of families so that they can register. It also gives you an opportunity to be discovered as new families search for options on Sawyer. We know that you work hard to inspire the educators, creators, dreamers, and inventors of the future. The Sawyer Marketplace helps you find more of them so you can continue doing what you love and easily attract customers.

There is no additional upfront cost to opt in to the Sawyer Marketplace. Depending on your Sawyer subscription, a 15-30% fee applies to purchases made on the Marketplace (visit our pricing page for more information). Consider the Sawyer Marketplace fee a lower cost marketing expense for your business to reach your ideal customer audience! The added bonus is that you only pay Sawyer this fee if you get an order, making opting in 100% risk free.
