Improving off-peak occupancy

Not every hour is worth the same, so your prices shouldn’t be either.

• Price every court and slot individually, so quiet mornings cost less than peak evenings.
• Lower off-peak rates nudge price-sensitive players away from your busiest hours.
• Set per court and per slot, so you stay in control and fine-tune as you learn.
• Players see the cheaper option the moment they open your app or widget.
• Find rates that hit your goals with our Occupancy & Revenue Calculator before publishing.

Quiet courts often just mean players forgot you, so staying visible keeps off-peak hours top of mind.

• Push off-peak offers and last-minute slots to players via Club Announcements, then mirror them on social.
• Your white label app and widget turn every post into a booking through your branded checkout.
• Sync players to the Mailchimp and HubSpot CRMs to run off-peak campaigns.
• Let Ace, our WhatsApp AI sales agent, answer availability and send checkout links instantly.

Holidays, school breaks, local events, or a quiet Tuesday are perfect moments for a targeted offer.

• Restrict codes to set dates and times, so deals only hit the off-peak slots you want filled.
• Run a “Monday morning 20% off” code without ever discounting peak hours.
• Share codes via announcements, social, and email to reach current and lapsed players.
• Track which promotions actually work, then repeat them.

A club wallet lets players prepay credit, and Nettla can restrict it to off-peak hours.

• Sell with a bonus (e.g. pay £40, get £50 for off-peak) to reward players who book quiet slots.
• Prepaid credit locks in revenue early and brings players back to spend it.
• Off-peak-only, so your premium evening pricing stays protected.
• Promote wallets in your app and announcements; players buy and manage them self-serve.

Students are free during exactly the daytime hours most clubs struggle to fill.

• Use a Smart Form: set the institution’s email domain (e.g. @students.bristol.ac.uk) and verified players auto-join a cohort with off-peak benefits, no codes or approvals.
• The discount stays exclusive to verified students, with no risk of public leaks.
• Set up Activities & Courses and group lessons aimed at students.
• Lock in a weekly university session for the whole term with recurring bookings.
• Arrange bespoke bookings for PE lessons or clubs at agreed rates, with parent-child profiles for younger players.

An off-peak membership gives unlimited or discounted quiet-hour access for a monthly fee.

• Restrict memberships to off-peak times, turning empty daytime courts into recurring revenue.
• Keep your in-demand peak slots reserved for full-price bookings.
• Members play more since they’ve already paid, building lively daytime activity.
• Subscription billing handles renewals automatically, with no manual admin.
• Promote it in your app, announcements, and widget. A strong fit for retirees, shift workers, students, and remote workers.

Local offices are full of daytime players wanting a wellbeing perk or a lunchtime break.

• Use a Smart Form: set the company’s email domain (e.g. @barclays.co.uk) and verified employees auto-join a cohort with an off-peak corporate discount.
• The perk stays exclusive to verified staff, with no codes or admin to manage.
• Set up bespoke bookings for company events and corporate blocks at agreed off-peak rates.
• Sell off-peak wallets so businesses can buy employee credit, and bundle equipment, refreshments, or coaching via checkout add-ons.
• Stay in touch with contacts through announcements and CRM integrations.

Organised, recurring play fills quiet courts far more reliably than one-off bookings.

• Schedule weekly In-house Leagues fixtures in daytime and early-evening slots, giving players a standing reason to show up.
• Turn on Public Matches so solo players join an existing game, instead of needing three friends to book.
• The Padel Level algorithm matches players of similar standard, so off-peak open matches stay competitive.
• Recurring league nights turn quiet hours into a dependable, repeatable booking pattern.

A guaranteed run of quiet-hour bookings beats holding out for the odd peak-price sale.

• Offer a discounted bulk rate when players commit to a recurring off-peak slot, trading price for guaranteed occupancy.
• Flexible recurring rules let you set the day, time, frequency, and run length to fit any group’s routine.
• One booking locks the same quiet slot for weeks or months, turning a single sale into standing revenue.
• Perfect for daytime regulars who value a guaranteed court over a cheaper one-off.

A longer booking in a quiet hour is found money, so reward players who fill more of your empty court time.

• Use Longer Booking Duration discounts to drop the hourly rate on off-peak 90 and 120-minute sessions.
• Set the discount per day and time, so only your quietest slots carry the cheaper extended rate.
• Example: a peak 60-minute slot stays full price, while an off-peak 90-minute booking earns a substantially lower rate per hour.
• Players get better value for a longer game, and you turn one quiet hour into two or three booked ones.
