Streamline client management, invoicing, and project delivery with an all-in-one creative CRM

Manage clients and projects like a pro

A Bloom of Possibilities for the Creative Professional

A very weird deal for an exceptional piece of software.

Too Limited

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY - JUST TEST THE TRIAL VERSION

Severe Limitations

Bloom

Managing a creative business can be chaotic and stressful. I tried every way I could think of to simplify the process: from dry erase boards, spreadsheets and printed project folders through a buffet of digital tools that all helped with "pieces of management" but didn't communicate with each other. Before I knew it, we had X software for finances and X software for managing sales and X software for customer relationship management and X software to manage production. Everything was disconnected and required a lot of manual transfer from one application to the next. 

Today, you have Bloom, which empowers you to manage your creative business using a single application. 
- Send invoices and get paid
- Manage project workflows
- Sign legal contracts
- Showcase your work in galleries
- Offer self booking packages
- Manage your customers
- Convert customers into opportunities
- Convert opportunities into projects

Bloom has your business covered! Manage the entire customer journey from a "new acquaintance" to an "ongoing paying client" with Bloom.

Bloom CRM Review (2025) – Is It the Best CRM for Creatives?

Bloom.io is a business workspace designed for the future of independent work.

It's the new standard for running a freelance or an independent business and how professionals grow their businesses. Bloom instantly gives you every tool and makes your brand experience clean and professional.

Freelancing is here to stay, but it’s messy. There are 58M freelancers in the United States and by 2027, freelancing will be the majority workforce. Currently, over 50% of Google's workforce are freelancers. 

However using 10 different tools is confusing, expensive, and challenging for a solo business operation. 

Bloom solves this by elegantly combining the business workflow tools for the entire journey from side hustle, to freelancing, to running an agency.

Try it out for free today at bloom.io and use promo code WELCOME to get 50% OFF on your first year.
