How does advertising a new experience in Bloom work?
When you add a new experience, you pick exactly what you want to advertise—whether it’s a specific tour, class, or your whole storefront. Bloom guides you step-by-step: you choose the item, upload engaging images or videos, and decide if you want the ad to start immediately or on a schedule. This helps you put your activities in front of more potential customers with just a few clicks.
You can revisit and manage your active or upcoming ads anytime from the Bloom dashboard. Bloom also lets you test different images and videos to see what attracts more bookings.
