Go Beyond Basic Mindbody Marketing Suite Options
Mindbody is a great solution for scheduling classes, collecting payment, and some basic customer relationship management. But digital marketing is not Mindbody’s strong suite.
And that’s why Mindbody offers a completely separate platform called Mindbody Marketing Suite. An expensive add-on to your existing Mindbody subscription
DailyStory offers everything that Mindbody Marketing Suite provides, but starts at free vs. $120 per-month.
Accelerate your email and SMS marketing
While there are some basic marketing capabilities in Mindbody, running onboarding campaigns, nurturing leads, sending SMS marketing or email marketing drip campaigns, integrating with Facebook or Google Ads, and advanced automations is not what Mindbody was built for.

DailyStory vs Mindbody Marketing Suite
Mindbody Marketing Suite is a basic set of marketing automation tools for Mindbody.
Mindbody Marketing Suite is expensive
Existing Mindbody customers can add Mindbody Marketing Suite to their Mindbody subscription. But, it’s expensive: adding $100 to $300 of additional cost for each monthly Mindbody subscription. Based on data from G2 market research:
- $120 per-month – for basic email marketing functionality.
- $240 per-month – for automation support.
DailyStory is free to start and is fully integrated with Mindbody.
Let’s compare this to DailyStory, which greatly surpasses the functionality found in the Mindbody Marketing Suite and is purpose built for digital marketing.
DailyStory is free to start
For many Mindbody customers, just getting started with digital marketing can be overwhelming. DailyStory is free for less than 250 contacts. This means you have zero additional monthly cost to add world-class marketing to your business!

What can you do with DailyStory Mindbody integration?
Below are some examples of how you can use the DailyStory Mindbody integration for your gym, studio, or franchise.
Create meaningful campaigns, newsletters, offers and more
Use the data synced from Mindbody to create welcome campaign, retention campaigns, newsletters and more. And, Mindbody is always the “source of truth” – as long as it’s updated in Mindbody, it will be reflected in DailyStory.
Tired of tracking memberships? You’ll love segments
A segment is a group of people that share common characteristics.
Example segments
- New clients to your gym or studio
- Leads that signed up from a popup on your website
- Customers that haven’t visited your location in the past 30 days
- Clients whose membership is expiring in the next month
Those are just a few examples of how you can segment your Mindbody clients.
But, the real magic happens as data changes in Mindbody.
DailyStory segments update automatically with Mindbody
This means that if a lead signed up on your website and then became a customer, DailyStory would automatically remove them from one segment and add them to the other.
Manage opportunities not in Mindbody
It’s also important to point out that unlike Mindbody, DailyStory is built to maintain a list of all your contacts – regardless as to whether or not they are a customer yet.
This means you can create powerful segments targeting leads. These leads can be directly uploaded or easily collected from your website using existing website forms using DailyStory magic forms or building your own web forms in DailyStory.
Automate communication to all your customers
Once you’ve grouped your customers into segments, build automated marketing campaigns to send personalized emails and text messages to your clients.
Automation is included in all DailyStory plans vs Mindbody Marketing suite which is $240/month.
Examples of automations
For example, you can send:
- Welcome emails introducing new clients to your location
- Offers and incentives using a QR code in a text message
- Personalized news letter to keep your brand top-of-mind
- Re-engage clients who haven’t visited your gym in the past 2 weeks
- Reminders to clients whose membership is nearing expiration
Drag-and-drop automation builder
Building automations is simply a matter of dragging-and-dropping what you want to happen. For example, below is a simple automation that sends an email asking for client testimonials:
But don’t just focus on customers!
Find new customers with lead generation campaigns
Tapping into your existing customer base is important, but so is finding new clients. Use DailyStory’s inbound marketing tools to capture new clients from your website, advertising promotions and other sources.
