Potential savings vs paid search benchmark

You are paying to win back your own customers

Paid search has its place, but it should not lead. The cheapest booking you can get is a past customer coming back for a renewal.

trending_down

"Most providers overpay for customers they could rebook directly."

With no renewal reminders going out on their own, every growth target falls back on expensive ads.

What leadership sees

Higher CAC despite stable demand.

Flat renewal capture from existing base.

Budget pressure every quarter.

Clicks Cost More Every Quarter

€12 or more per click. Annual ad budgets of €30–80K, and the number keeps climbing.

Most of the Spend Is Wasted

Paid search converts at 2–5%. More than 95% of the clicks you pay for never become bookings.

Your Past Customers Are Forgotten

Past participants with certificates about to expire sit in a spreadsheet. Nobody sends them a renewal reminder, and nobody offers them the next course.

Renewal reminders that use the data you already have

Renewal campaigns built into your training operations. No extra platform to buy.

Step 01

Reminders Sent on Expiry Dates

A renewal campaign sends itself when a certificate is about to expire. GWO, Safety Cards, ID06, forklift licences: every expiry date sets one off.

Step 02

Two-Way Sync With Your CRM

Live training data flows into HubSpot, Salesforce, or Lime CRM. Courses, certificates, and expiry dates land in the workflows you already run.

Step 03

Offers Based on What They Took

Course history shapes what you send next. Finished basic safety? Offer the advanced course. Finished GWO? Suggest the refresher bundle.
