Advanced Email and SMS Marketing for Mindbody

DailyStory is a Mindbody Marketing Suite Alternative

Mindbody is the right tool for scheduling classes, collecting payments, and managing your client roster. Marketing automation is not what it was built for — and that’s exactly why Mindbody sells a separate platform called Mindbody Marketing Suite, at an additional $240/month on top of your existing Mindbody subscription.

DailyStory is a dedicated marketing automation platform with a direct, native integration with Mindbody. Every client, membership, visit, and purchase in Mindbody flows into DailyStory — powering unlimited automations, advanced segmentation, multi-channel campaigns, and detailed reporting, all included in your DailyStory plan.

Mindbody Integration Key Benefits

Automate the full client lifecycle

Automating your lead acquisition, activation, retention, referral, and revenue is what DailyStory is purpose-built to do. Once configured, DailyStory fully manages the lifecycle of your leads and clients with little to no manual intervention.

Acquire and nurture leads

Use DailyStory’s popups, web forms, QR codes, and landing pages to capture prospective leads from your website, ads, and physical materials. These leads don’t need to exist in Mindbody yet — they live in DailyStory and are fully nurtured through automated drip campaigns until they convert.

Automate activation the moment a lead converts

When a prospective client attends their first class or makes their first purchase, DailyStory automatically moves them out of the lead nurture sequence and into an activation sequence — upselling to a membership, introducing your class schedule, and setting expectations for what comes next.

Retention and win-back — running automatically

DailyStory monitors client behaviour continuously. Clients who haven’t visited recently are automatically enrolled in a win-back sequence. Clients whose memberships are expiring receive a timely renewal reminder. All of it runs without any manual work from your team.

Examples of automations you can run immediately:

• Welcome email sequence for new clients introducing your location, team, and class schedule
• Upsell from a free class to a paid membership with a time-sensitive offer
• Re-engagement campaign for clients who haven’t visited in 14 or 30 days
• Membership expiration reminder 30, 14, and 7 days before renewal
• QR code offer in an SMS to bring lapsed clients back in
• Birthday recognition with a personalized offer

Drag-and-drop automation builder

Building automations is a matter of dragging and dropping — no coding, no IT tickets. Below is an example of a simple automation that requests client testimonials at the right moment in the relationship:

Dynamic segments — updated automatically from Mindbody

A segment is a group of contacts that share common characteristics. DailyStory segments built from Mindbody data update automatically as client data changes — no manual list management, no CSV exports.

Examples of segments you can build from Mindbody data:

• New clients who joined in the last 30 days
• Leads captured from your website popup — not yet in Mindbody
• Clients who haven’t visited any location in the past 30 days
• Members whose pricing option expires in the next 30 days
• Clients who attended 10+ classes — high engagement, upsell candidates
• Members who purchased a specific service or class type

As data changes in Mindbody, DailyStory segments update in real time. A lead who converts to a paid client automatically exits the lead nurture segment and enters the new client onboarding segment — no manual action required.

Multi-location and Franchise Marketing

DailyStory is built from the ground up to support the marketing requirements of franchises and brands with multiple locations — not bolted on as an afterthought.

Geo-targeting and lead routing

Leads captured through DailyStory web forms are automatically geo-coded and routed to the nearest franchise location. National campaigns feed the right leads to the right franchisee automatically — no manual assignment, no lead routing spreadsheets.

Brand kit management

Define your brand kit once at the corporate level — colours, logos, fonts, email templates — and publish it to all franchisees. Every location markets consistently, without corporate having to approve every campaign individually.

Franchisee campaign publishing

Corporate creates campaigns, automations, emails, and segments. Franchisees inherit them with one click — maintaining brand consistency across every location while giving individual franchisees the ability to customize within approved parameters.

DailyStory vs Mindbody Marketing Suite

Mindbody Marketing Suite is a basic set of marketing tools built largely from an email platform called Fredrick that Mindbody acquired. It’s designed as a complementary add-on to Mindbody’s scheduling software — not as a dedicated marketing platform.

DailyStory is purpose-built for marketing automation. The comparison:

“I have a lot of experience with a number of email marketing tools (like MailChimp, Emma and Constant Contact), but using DailyStory was such a leveling-up moment for my business.”
