How Valerie simplified 23 years of operations and got her studio ready to sell
Valerie Kiser has run Sunrise Yoga Studio in Clemmons, North Carolina for over two decades. She was managing five separate platforms just to keep the business running. Consolidating onto OfferingTree didn't just save her time and money, it gave her peace of mind in the longevity of her business.

Valerie shares how consolidating onto OfferingTree simplified 23 years of operations.
Five platforms and only partially integrated
- MindBody handled scheduling, a separate tool ran email automations, Vimeo hosted her video library, and WordPress ran her website, four systems that didn't always talk to each other
- Automation errors between platforms meant reminders sometimes went to the wrong person, and troubleshooting required outside consultants
- Her video library required manually changing and distributing a shared password every single month
- With a future studio sale in mind, handing a buyer five disconnected systems felt like anything but a clean business
Introducing OfferingTree, the one platform that covered everything
- OfferingTree let Valerie upload her entire video library directly into the platform, tied to membership tiers, with no separate password management
- Website hosting, maintenance, and security all rolled into one monthly price instead of scattered plugins and fees
- Her IT background meant pointed questions about backups and data integrity. OfferingTree arranged a direct call with co-founder Arvind to answer them
- She ran both systems in parallel for a few weeks during migration and confirmed nothing (memberships, registrations, payment info) was lost in the move

Fewer platforms, the best support ever, and a business ready to sell
- Five platforms (MindBody, BrandBot/LensView, Vimeo, WordPress, and a manual spreadsheet) collapsed into one
- Automations run reliably now that there's no data handoff between systems to break
- Students largely stopped needing help with sign-up and login after the initial transition
- Valerie describes OfferingTree's support as the best she's experienced from any vendor, in any industry, in over two decades
