extra extra, read all about it!

So, you know those ads on the side of your facebook page? I randomly will click on one that is perfectly targeted for me (good job marketeers!), but I've never actually followed through on anything. Sure I'd love to go on a Thai Yoga Retreat, but it's not free so... move on. But this certain day I clicked on the MINDBODY app for yoga ad. And there it was, the perfect app for Only Intention. It locates where I am, and tells me what classes are happening at that time in the area. What? This can't be true! Yes, Anni, yes, it is.

Then I think, "Well, we should be friends! Because this blog was made to use that app!" So I send an email to MINDBODY asking just that, and you know what, they responded. And now I have three friends at MINDBODY who are great folks hoping we can benefit one another.

If you're a yoga business owner, I'm guessing you know what MINDBODY is already. I've see them all over Yoga Journal. Here's what they say:

Simplify your business with online scheduling, staff and customer management, integrated marketing tools and eCommerce solutions that cut administrative overhead and improve customer retention. With MINDBODY's web-based software, you can manage and grow your business anywhere, anytime. To learn more, click our ad to the right.

OK, I added the part that says "click our ad to the right"—but you get the idea. Seriously! For the instant connection to people like me, I think this service is amazing. I can find out when classes are where ever I'm at, pay for them on my phone, and show up ready to yoga. No longer do you need the punch card style of classes, and I'm guessing the web presence they offer is great for all the studios out there that don't have their own personal designer. It's worth a quick look, just to get an idea.

Anyway, thanks MINDBODY, for calling me your business partner and sharing faith in our good intentions!
