If you're a teacher selling classes
If you're a host, provider or teacher, ClassBento can offer you not only a new sales channel, but important capabilities that you won't find with Airbnb. We'd love to welcome you!
We have Australia's largest audience for fun art, craft and culinary classes, and in particular amongst locals wanting to support their community's artists and small businesses. Our marketing focus is much more on locals than on tourists, compared to Airbnb. We also get lots of recurring interest from groups wanting experiences from our teachers for team bonding, hens parties, birthdays, and other group events, which could be a lucrative opportunity for you. In fact, we've had many hosts come from Airbnb who have commented that they've ended up receiving a lot more bookings through ClassBento, than Airbnb.
We can help you easily capture both individual and customised group bookings, whether you're running in-person experiences or online (live-streamed or pre-recorded). And if you want to sell DIY craft kits, we can support you there too. You can use your own courier, or opt to use our fully automated logistics solution, which allows you to get and print labels, book pickups or drop-off and more, without any manual data entry.
Our fees are straightforward and competitive, and lower than Airbnb's. We offer customers payment methods popular with Aussies, like Afterpay and Zip, that Airbnb doesn't - this translates to better conversion rates and more orders for you.
We can also help you easily capture orders on your own website via our widget (at a lower commission rate). Our widget is extremely easy to add, and the user experience is completely white-labelled so you can ensure your brand shines through.
Our team is very experienced, comprising of ex senior leaders from leading Australian and international online businesses like THE ICONIC, Domain, Groupon, and Booking.com. We're big enough to give you a significant stream of income through our established audience and platform, but small enough to care and to personally help you every step of the way and be a true business partner for you.
ClassBento specialises only in listing high-quality classes, experiences and kits, and we love supporting the talented local artisans in our communities.
We're a proudly Australian company and our
mission is to empower artists to improve mental wellbeing through creative workshops; we donate to
Dementia Australia
with every booking made through our curated marketplace,
classbento.com.au
We also provide a best-in-class booking solution that you can use on your own website, via our widget, which hundreds of teachers are already using.
We'd love to learn more about you and how we can make your life better. Let's partner up!
