How to grow your payments app with baby sleep consultants
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Baby sleep consultants help parents whose babies and toddlers are not sleeping well. Most work remotely, starting with a questionnaire and a call, then a written plan and a week or two of support by phone or message. They usually sell packages, from a single call to full support, and grandparents or friends sometimes buy one as a gift for new parents. A payments app that handles package payments, gift purchases and add-ons can win sleep consultants, and every family who pays them sees your app.
Talk to sleep consultants
Ask local baby sleep consultants:
- How do parents pay for a package?
- Do you take payment before the first call?
- How do grandparents or friends buy a package as a gift?
- How do parents pay for extra support?
Take payment before the first call
A link sent with the questionnaire means the package is paid before the consultant spends time on the call and the plan.
Make gift packages easy
A link a grandparent or friend can pay, with the package sent to the new parents, turns a thoughtful gift into a booking.
Grow through baby and family businesses
Sleep consultants work alongside doulas, baby classes and nannies who support the same families. When those businesses take payments through your app, each consultant can bring more of them onto it.
