Why it helps
Fewer guesses
See how full last year's minis got and how fast, then plan this year with that in hand.
No lost inquiries
Every family who asks gets a thank-you, and you get a reminder to follow up.
Posting made easy
You know what is fine to share, and the words are already started.
Season planner
Plan the year of minis from how the last one went.
The planner shows spring, summer, fall and holiday with last year's fill, what you collected and how fast it sold. It tells you what to change, when to tell past families, and which Saturdays to pick, with sunset and the best light for each. One tap starts a new event filled in from last year.
- How full last year's minis got, and what they earned
- When to announce and when to open to everyone
- Golden hour for every date you pick
Inquiries
A place for families who are not ready to pick a time.
Share your inquiry page in your Instagram bio or on your website. A family tells you what they are looking for and gets a thank-you right away. You reply with your booking link from a ready draft, and bookbirdy reminds you to follow up, then moves them to booked on its own when they do.
- A page for your bio, website or replies
- A reply with your booking link, ready to edit
- A reminder to check back in
Social posts
Know what you can post, and what to say.
See which recent sessions are fine to share and what each family agreed to. Get three warm caption drafts with hashtags that fit, plan your posts on a calendar, and make announcement pictures for your mini days in your brand color. You always do the posting.
- Families who said no are never offered
- Captions that never use a family's names
- Pictures for your feed and your story
More ways to fill the calendar
Mini launches
Give past families first pick before you post a mini publicly, with every email reviewed and sent by you.
Fill the last spots
When a mini day still has spots, write to your waitlist and past mini families in one step.
Waitlists
Families join a waitlist for a full day, and you tell them when a spot opens. Part of Pro.
Posting plan
Suggested posts for the next two weeks around your open mini days, with a reminder on Today.
Your hashtags
Add your handle and the hashtags you always use, and they go on every caption.
Pictures on your device
Announcement pictures are made in your browser, so a photo you add is never uploaded.
Questions
Questions
Does bookbirdy post to Instagram for me?
No. It helps you decide what to post, writes the words and makes the pictures, then you post. That keeps you in control of your own account.
Will captions mention my clients?
Never by name. Captions are written from the session type, the season and the place, so they are safe to post whatever the family chose.
What if a family has not answered the photo question?
They are left out of the list and counted, so you can ask them first.
