“ Since switching to Occasion, Our revenue is up to 40%. “
Because we use Occasion, we have more customers who feel comfortable buying from us. Since switching to Occasion, our revenue is up 40%. If it wasn’t for the improved booking experience, there is no way we would hit those numbers. We are happy as clams!

“ We save the equivalent of 3 days every week in admin time. “
Since implementing Occasion’s online booking tool, I am saving the equivalent of 3 days every week and party bookings have seen a significant jump. For example, reservations for birthday parties have increased by 10%. I just don’t know what I would do without it!

“ I have less stress and more time “
Occasion has made my life so much easier. As an entrepreneur, wearing so many hats, it is easy to miss something. With Occasion I find that I have less stress and more time for the other tasks I haven’t been able to focus on.

“ I am booking parties while I sleep! “
Before Occasion I used a contact email for birthday parties. Once I switched to online party booking it saved so much time, and it was so exciting on the mornings when it woke up to find people had completed a booking while I slept!

Still Unsure?
Read what a few of our partners had to say about their impression of Occasion before and after switching.
What I thought
I figured it was pretty much the same thing as what I was using.
How it actually was
I’m actually more impressed with it since I switched. I feel like so far it’s pretty easy to use but I love the price point!

What I thought
It’s gotta be better. It has more features than the previous platform and would allow us to grow into them.
How it actually was
OMG! It does so much! It’s a bit steeper of a learning curve than expected. Customer support is great. I don’t feel stupid when asking for help or clarification. My team is excited about the expansion capabilities. I like the clean look and ease of customer use.
