Pop-ups & sales

Customers never miss a pop-up

Devi’s Donuts uses SoKal so customers never miss a pop-up location or sale. No app for them to download, just one tap to save it to their own calendar.

It’s a calendar tool for local businesses: keep customers updated on pop-up locations and sales, and when something moves, their calendar moves with it.

Leagues & schedules

Fans never miss a game

The Atlanta Entertainment Basketball League uses SoKal so fans can follow the whole league or just their favorite teams. Every game lands on their own calendar.

It’s a calendar tool for leagues: add the season once, and when a tip-off moves, every fan’s calendar moves with it.

How customer calendar subscriptions work

1

Create the events you want people to remember

A sale, a launch, a class, an opening night. Give it a date and a line about what it is.

2

Share to let people scan a QR code, tap an NFC, or click a link

Every brand gets a page and a permanent code — it keeps working when the campaign behind it changes.

3

People save it, and get reminded

Into SoKal, Google, Apple or Outlook. You choose when the reminder lands.

4

See what actually worked

Reach, saves, save rate, which calendar they picked and where the visit came from.

After the visit

Keep customers coming back after the visit

A first visit is the easy part. SoKal keeps your business on your customers’ calendars after they leave — your next pop-up, sale or class lands on their phone as a reminder, with no app to download, no account to follow and no ad to buy.

  • One scan at the counter — They point their camera at your code once. From then on, whatever you put on your page can go straight onto their calendar.
  • A reminder, right when it matters — SoKal sends a push notification before the event, on the calendar they already check — not a post they might scroll past.
  • Changes follow them — Move a pop-up or change the time and every saved copy updates. Nobody turns up to the old plan.

It’s customer retention for a local business, done with a calendar instead of a mailing list.

Every screen

Not just a phone app

SoKal runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and Windows, and in the browser on any laptop. And because what your customers save goes into Apple or Google Calendar, your events follow them onto every device those calendars sync to.

Tablets

The whole calendar on iPad, laid out for the bigger screen rather than stretched from a phone.

Laptops

SoKal has a Mac app, installs on Windows from the Microsoft Store, and runs in any browser at sokal.app. Your events still land in the Calendar or Google Calendar your customers already keep.

Phones

iPhone and Android, with the reminder arriving as a push notification when it matters.

Questions from business owners

How do I get repeat customers?

Give them a reason to come back and a reminder when it’s time. With SoKal, a customer scans your QR code once and subscribes to your business’s calendar. After that, every sale, pop-up or class you post lands on their calendar, with a reminder before it starts.

What is a calendar subscription?

A link that a calendar app keeps checking for updates. When a customer subscribes to your calendar, your events appear in the calendar they already use and stay current when you change them, without them doing anything again.

How do customers subscribe to my business’s calendar?

They scan your QR code, tap your NFC tag or open your page’s link, choose what they want to follow, and pick SoKal, Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook. It takes a few taps, and Apple and Google Calendar need no sign-up at all.

Does it work with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook?

Yes. Customers can subscribe from Apple Calendar on iPhone, iPad and Mac, from Google Calendar on Android or in any browser, or from Outlook. Your events then follow them onto every device those calendars sync to.

Do my customers need to download an app?

No. Your page works in any phone browser, and your events can go straight into the calendar they already have. The SoKal app is optional; it adds push reminders and shows your changes the moment you make them.

What happens when I change or cancel an event?

Every subscribed calendar updates. Move a pop-up or change a time and their entry moves with it; cancel one and it’s marked cancelled. Apple, Google Calendar and Outlook pick changes up when they next refresh, which can take a few hours. SoKal shows them right away.

What kinds of businesses use SoKal?

Anyone with something worth coming back for: pop-ups and market stalls, cafés and bakeries, shops running sales, studios and gyms with classes, and venues with events.

How much does SoKal for Business cost?

$12 a month, and your first month is free. You add a card when you start and aren’t charged until the free month is over, and you can cancel any time from Manage billing.
