Hear from our teachers
I am an art workshop facilitator and I can’t recommend ClassBento highly enough! Richelle, my account manager, is an absolute gem. She takes care of all the admin tasks like sending invoices, and more, so I can focus on delivering amazing hARTFul classes.
With her support, I never have to stress about anything. Richelle is such a credit to Class Bento and her prompt service excellence and lovely ways, are so appreciated!
ClassBento is the perfect platform for hosting art classes, whether it’s for NDIS participants or other enthusiasts looking for engaging creative experiences! Very happy to report that my attendance is on the up and up since joining 6 months ago! Thank you Team ClassBento!
When I started my business most of my workshops were filled by family & friends and it was really challenging to connect with real customers. A key turning point for my business was when I partnered with Class Bento, most of my workshop bookings now come from them and now I have classes filled with the most wonderful strangers willing to learn and participate and keep arts and crafts alive. I love working with ClassBento, they feel like an extension of my business and they are so easy to work with and always willing to help. I chose to partner with ClassBento because they believe, like I do that engaging in creative activities helps keep you in the moment and promotes good mental health.
I feel so so so grateful, that I can't even put into words what I'm feeling right now, after realising that I have almost ran 50 workshops this year, in person, online, for Google, for carers in Victoria etc. I am honestly flooded in gratitude right now. I had the opportunity to have a chat today with one of the Victorian carers before our class started. She shared with me that this year has been really hard for them, but that taking these moments for herself gives her life and helps her to cope with the difficult times. I just wanted to cry, understanding that this that I do, and what YOU all do, matters.
Classbento has been wonderful to work with! I started teaching on Classbento this year and I had been very fortunate to share my passion for flowers with so many other people coming to my workshops. It is very easy to use and it takes away all of admin burden so I can focus on designing and teaching workshops. It also helps promote my business and build online presence through going on a live program in Today TV show and social media. Classbento's founders and staff are true believers in helping artisan's businesses and making social impact, I am personally touched by their attitudes and their passion.
ClassBento is a wonderful platform for both students and teachers. A great support for people to locate and book many creative avenues to open your creativity. I am a teacher whose class is on the ClassBento site and I enjoy working with the creators Iain and John who have brought this opportunity to others. They are a very supportive team. I love working with the students that come to my classes. It is rewarding in unexpected ways. The joy of being together. It is beautiful to engage with others and allow creativity to open. I highly recommend ClassBento and the classes they provide.
I am one of the teachers working with ClassBento and I can say that I absolutely love the platform! It is SO easy to use, set up your classes, and sell the tickets. If you are ever stuck with anything, Iain and John are there to help you out! Couldn't recommend them more.
Earlier last month, I had the opportunity to showcase on Today Tonight Show what brush lettering is all about and how it helps you unwind and relax after a long, busy and stressful day of work or life hustles.
This opportunity wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for @classbento.
What don't I love about ClassBento! This is the first time we've run our own business and we had no idea about all the small bits and pieces involved. ClassBento has just made it so much easier. The booking and admin side is largely taken care of, payment options like Afterpay are built in, and we've reached customers we simply wouldn't have found on our own. Also being able to run our website through ClassBento saves so much time. Honestly, being only 2 months in and already where we are.... I genuinely don't think we'd be here without them. Really, really worth it.
ClassBento booking system works perfectly. I recently added the widget to my website, allowing me to manage all my bookings in one place. I always feel well-supported by my growth partner; having someone to talk to when I encounter an issue gives me more confidence than just reading an FAQ on a website. It's like having an additional staff member working for my business, so I don't have to handle the marketing and other behind-the-scenes tasks necessary for a successful class.
As soon as I saw you were doing the online and craft box format I took a deep breath and jumped in. I haven’t looked back! I am loving meeting new students from all over the country (and even the world). I am busier than ever but not stressed because of the fantastic platform that you have built and the wonderful staff that make it all work. I have encouraged several friends to sign up as Teachers with you and many more people to take a class. Thank you again for everything.
Just wanted to let you know that we've had some lovely feedback that we wanted to pass on to you from our students over this weekend about ClassBento as a platform. I asked a few of my classes how they find the process of booking and the communication before class - every student said that they found it intuitive, clear and easy to navigate. As far as I'm concerned, this is a real testament to you as a team. Well done making something great!
I love the convenience of the platform, the fact I don’t have to chase invoices is great. Also been great to get me more exposure that I might not normally get on my own. As an art teacher in my other life I’ve also recommended to my students to also sign up to share their skills with the world
ClassBento team has been more than supportive over the years, and continues to improve their website and services to help us growing our business and navigate easily through the website.
They always answer my questions, very approachable and available when we need them.
Thanks a lot
ClassBento has played a big role in our business growth. Their easily integrated system helps me focus on delivering experience while they handle marketing/emails/booking management. I also really like how you can create your own website through ClassBento for free.
ClassBento has been a game changer for our business. Their website is super easy for teachers to use, their customer support is second to none, and the enquiries and bookings that come through the site has boosted our business significantly. We love ClassBento!
I LOVE that everything is automated, it makes my life so much easier. Also I find rescheduling when a teacher is sick to be quite easy. When I did have an issue with a troublesome customer I found the advice and support from Kate to be excellent.
Your website is attractive and intuitive for users. Functions to change bookings to meet customer requirements is effective. ClassBento is our favourite widespread marketing platform and we know our participants are finding us thanks to you.
Lovely idea, progressive, innovative;
I am so proud of the team who has founded ClassBento. They have started in the hardest times and now have spread over three continents! So happy I have met you x
Quick and easy to list new dates. Easy to use widgets. Easy to transfer attendees to other dates if they need to move their booking due to illness, etc. Prompt payment at completion of classes.
Been with these guys as a teacher for some time now. They’re super responsive and very helpful. I love the idea of the website itself. Would be keen to try some classes myself. Keep on shining
ClassBento is a wonderful platform especially for those new businesses and it is by far giving my business the profitability it needs through constant exposure and effective advertising.
Easy to use. Quick responses when I have any problems. ClassBento's mobile website helps me stay organised. I can check it from my phone easily when I'm too busy to get to a computer.
ClassBento has been a great platform to introduce the business as well as organise bookings, capture data and collect customer reviews which are vital for a service business.
I really appreciate how seamless and user-friendly the platform is — it makes bookings easy for customers while helping businesses connect with new clients efficiently.
I like the ease of the scheduling part and receiving updates on workshops, the platform is very user friendly & I receive almost all of my bookings through ClassBento!
Love ClassBento. so much easier to use than Eventbrite where it is difficult to book dates for the workshop and then manage tickets on those dates sold elsewhere.
I like ClassBento because it makes the teaching process very easy for me, it gives me helpful reminders about my classes, and it has a lot of useful features
Listen to feedback and make improvements.
Personal and human approach.
Efficient and organised.
Iain, Holly and others always do their best to help.
I love ClassBento's ease of use, SEO power, functionality and features, and personal service. ClassBento has allowed me to expand my customer base.
