*A Facebook post that lets customers reserve a deal by commenting. No app. No friction.

The Dubai Chocolate Craze

In a small Swedish town, the local store posted a bookable campaign for sought of Dubai Chocolate on Facebook for $7.
 
Customers could simply comment saying something in the lines of “I want one” to reserve the discount with the promise that the discount would be there for them when they came to the store.

The Turnout

Within a few hours, 750 customers had made a reservation of the offer and came to pick it up a few days after - and the majority bought other products while in-store.

The post has a total of 1500 comments because the system also replies with a confirmation comment so that the customer knows that their reservation is approved.

Structure Of A Bookable Campaign

Facebook & Instagram Post

A bookable campaign turns a regular Facebook and/or Instagram post into a reservation tool. Customers comment to claim the deal and our software handles the rest—confirmation messages, pickup instructions, even limiting stock if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to boost the Facebook post?

Not really. Most stores get strong results without boosting. When someone comments on your post, it often shows up in their friends’ feeds — so the reach grows naturally through visibility, not shares.

That said, if you're just starting out, it can help to boost your first few posts with a small budget (even a couple hundred dollars) to get the ball rolling. But long term, most stores run successful campaigns completely organically.

What happens if too many people comment?

Our system keeps track of the stock limit. Once your set quantity is booked, anyone who comments after that gets a friendly message saying the deal is sold out.

Can I limit how many products each customer gets?

Yes. You set the limit—whether it’s 1 per person or 3. The system automatically enforces it during the booking process.

Does this work in the U.S.?

Absolutely. Bookable campaigns work on any Facebook page, anywhere. We’ve built the system to support stores globally, including full English support and U.S. store formats.

Do I need to install anything or use new hardware?

No. Everything works with your existing Facebook page and email. There’s nothing to install, and your staff doesn’t need to learn any complicated tools.

What kinds of products work best for this?

We honestly haven’t found a product it doesn’t work for.
Stores have used bookable campaigns to sell everything from power drills to inflatable jacuzzis, alongside everyday items like chocolate, meat packs, and coffee deals.
If it’s something people want and there’s urgency or limited supply — it can work.
