Football is not only the world’s most popular sport, it is the nation’s favourite sport. This makes football a staple of local life right across the country. Football is an ever-present part of our daily lives, from large towns and cities to small villages and the most remote corners of the countryside.
This importance to our local and national culture makes football a vital part of life for many communities, around which many other activities, traditions, and regular events pivot. They often rely on football and the way it brings communities together.
This in turn makes football pitches some of the most important facilities in many cities, towns and villages alike. They are often in high demand, being booked out not only for football matches and tournaments, but other events which require a large open space.
This high demand, coupled with changing customer habits and new consumer expectations, means that the need for venues like football pitches to modernise their booking systems has never been more urgent. Let’s take a closer look at how an online booking system can help, and exactly why Hallmaster is the best choice out there.
Spaces such as football pitches are often at high demand for parts of the year, while needing other bookings to supplement the lack of football for the colder months. This need to diversify while also maintaining an easy to use, efficient and reliable booking system makes using an online booking system the best possible choice for football pitches.
The key to why online booking systems are so vital for venues and facilities of all kinds that take bookings, is down to their potent combination of efficiency and ease-of-use.
Being cloud-based – meaning entirely based online – a venue’s booking calendar can be accessed by all parties at once. For example, a local team that has a regular booking at their village football pitch can make their booking on an online calendar, which can also be seen by potential customers also looking to book the pitch. Everyone involved – including the administrator – can see that this booking is confirmed, and avoid double bookings. All of this without any need to contact the venue directly.
This streamlined service means that football pitch administrators can take more bookings, more often, and from a diverse range of customers. This leads to the growth of the venue’s client base, and ultimately an increase in revenue.
With this evergreen need for football pitches and the open spaces they provide, ensuring they have a booking system that is up to the task is essential.
Customers have become used to interacting with businesses digitally, and making use of online, cloud-based tools. These digital tools are present in every aspect of our lives now, from grocery shopping to movie streaming, work meetings to dog grooming. Every kind of business now offers vital services using digital tools, for customer convenience and general efficiency.
Football pitches are no different, and can stand to benefit from switching to up to date, cloud-based tools.
At Hallmaster, we have taken our more than two decades of experience designing online tools for businesses, and created our industry-leading venue booking software.
As our customers often tell us, the great benefit of Hallmaster is its combination of powerful tools with ease-of-use built into every aspect of the system.
For the customers of a venue using Hallmaster, this philosophy of “simple but powerful” begins with the booking calendar. This can be embedded directly into your venue’s website, and allows customers and admins alike to view existing bookings, and make new bookings – all without ever needing to leave your website.
For venue admins, our user-friendly approach to software design extends all through Hallmaster, but begins with the admin’s venue dashboard. From here, administrators can manage every aspect of their venue. This includes setting up facilities, hire charges, line items, venue details, customer details, a powerful invoicing system with the ability to generate and send single and batched invoices with a few simple clicks, and so much more.
Hallmaster offers as much control over your booking system as you need, with as small a learning curve as possible.
