What this guide covers
What to expect and watch for in your first month on Bloomber after switching.
Before you start
- You've verified your migration and gone live. See Verify your migration: post-switch checks.
Migration risks
- Returning clients used to your old platform may try to book there out of habit, or be confused about where to book — plan to point them to your new link clearly and repeatedly for the first few weeks.
- Your team is still learning Bloomber's day-to-day workflow — expect some early friction that settles quickly.
Migration timeline
- Week 1: Watch closely — confirm bookings, payments, and team workflows are behaving as expected.
- Weeks 2–4: Things should settle into normal operations. Address anything that's still off directly rather than waiting.
- After 30 days: If your old platform account is still active, consider closing it — but export anything you still want from it first, since most platforms remove access after account closure.
Steps
Phase 1: Prepare
Not applicable — this guide starts after go-live.
Phase 2: Migrate
Not applicable.
Phase 3: Verify
Keep checking real bookings for the first week or two, the same way you did in post-switch verification, rather than assuming a clean initial check means everything stays clean.
Phase 4: Stabilize
- Point returning clients to your new booking link directly if they seem confused.
- Check in with your team about anything that feels unfamiliar in day-to-day use.
- Once you're confident everything's working, close your old platform account — after exporting anything you still want from it.
What success looks like
- Bookings, payments, and team workflows feel routine, not like a migration in progress.
- You've closed your old platform account (or made a deliberate decision to keep it for a specific reason) with nothing important left unexported.
Common problems
- Clients keep trying to book on my old platform — Share your new booking link directly and repeatedly for the first few weeks — old habits take a bit to break.
- My team still isn't comfortable with Bloomber — Point them back to the relevant setup guides — Bookings & availability covers the day-to-day workflow.
- I closed my old account too early and need something from it — Most platforms remove access entirely after account closure — check your own prior exports or records first.
