Creating Service Packages
Packages are how Profound markets you - public directory listing, opt-in match digests to clients, and one-click Instagram ad promotion.
How your packages reach clients
Every active, approved package is automatically marketed three ways. You don't have to share a single link to start getting matched.
Public directory
Lives at /browse/packages for any visitor to find.
Match digests
Opted-in clients get a weekly SMS / monthly email of packages matching their interests.
Instagram ads
Promote any package as a paid Instagram ad from the Advertise tab.
Why Create Service Packages?
Beyond marketing, packages benefit both you and your clients:
Guaranteed Income
Receive payment upfront for multiple sessions
Client Commitment
Clients who buy packages are more likely to follow through
Better Outcomes
Multiple sessions allow for comprehensive learning plans
Competitive Edge
Discounted packages attract budget-conscious clients
Creating a Package
Creating a package is one step. Create a Service Package drafts a regular package at your standard rate, for clients who are ready to book. Create starter package drafts one session, discounted off your rate, plus a cover image. If your profile photo shows you, the cover uses that photo. Otherwise it generates a subject for the poster. You review the price and publish. A discounted starter is only for people who have not booked with you yet. After they buy it, the package page points them to your regular-rate session or a multi-session pack.

Package Tips
- • Name packages descriptively (e.g., "Algebra Foundations" not "Package A")
- • Create 2-3 package tiers to give options
- • Explain what clients will achieve in the description
- • Set reasonable expiration periods (not too short)
- • Mention packages to new clients after their first session
