Most mobile sauna sites are slow-loading photo galleries with "contact for pricing." They don't book. The site that books has 7 specific things.
1. Hero photo of the unit at a beautiful location
Sauna is sold visually first. The hero image carries 80% of the conversion weight. Lake at sunrise, snow + fire pit, retreat center backdrop. Stock images = trust killer. Real photos of YOUR unit at scenic local spots = trust builder.
2. Visible package pricing
"Contact for pricing" is the #1 conversion killer. Show packages: 2-Hour Session $275, 3-Hour Session $375, Event Day $1,800. Customers comparison-shop in 30 minutes; if your price is hidden they bounce.
3. Booking + deposit flow
Phone tag is the slowest path to booking. The site that lets customers book + drop a deposit RIGHT NOW captures the impulse. SoYummy includes this.
4. Real photo portfolio (10+ photos)
Different settings (residential driveway, retreat, beach, mountain), different group sizes, photos with permission from real clients. Operators with rich portfolios book 2-3x higher.
5. Reviews on the homepage
Pull 5-7 best Google + Instagram testimonials. "Best wellness experience I've had — perfect for our retreat. — Maria L., Newton MA"
6. Service area + travel zones
"We service [region] within 30 miles of [city]; outside zone +$X/mile." Tells visitor "yes you're in" + reduces back-and-forth.
7. Liability + safety language above the fold
Sauna intimidates first-timers. Address it: "Pre-session orientation. Safety waivers on every booking. Insured + experienced." That single block converts anxious customers.
The 5-second test
Show your homepage to a wellness-curious friend for 5 seconds, close it. Ask: 1) What does this business do? 2) What does it cost? 3) Would you trust them? Failing one = failing the page.
The bottom line
Visible pricing + booking flow + real photos + reviews + service area + safety language = booking site. SoYummy ships with all of this configured.
