Delight your customers with online appointment booking
While appointments are central to your service-based business, scheduling can be time consuming when done manually. Online appointment booking technology can free you from this important but tedious task, while giving your customers more convenient options for managing their calendars.
With online appointment booking solutions, customers can use any device that’s connected to the internet to view a calendar for your company or individual employees. Customers can select their own times, or request times you approve later. Booking technology can even send automated reminders by phone or text to cut down on no-shows and free your staff from constantly making reminder calls.
When you’re ready to add online appointment scheduling to your business offerings, Thryv can help. As a do-it-all platform for managing a small business, Thryv delivers scheduling capabilities that give customers more options and simplify the way you book appointments and manage your calendars.
The advantages of online appointment booking
When you offer online appointment booking for your customers, you can count on serious benefits.
- More time for other tasks. Online booking services free you and your staff from answering phone calls and managing calendars all day long. That means more time for working on more strategic tasks to grow your business.
- More business. Many customers book appointments during their free time after business hours, rather than taking time from their workday to place calls. Online booking allows them to schedule appointments anytime, 24/7 – and lets you win the business of these after-hour schedulers.
- Happier customers. Convenience means a lot to your customers, and online appointment booking makes their lives much easier.
- A competitive boost. Fewer than 25% of businesses offer online booking, which means you can stand out from your competitors by offering customers this valuable service.
- Fewer no-shows. Online appointment booking technology gives customers more control over when they choose to book time, reducing the chances that they’ll need to reschedule. Automated reminders sent by email or text help cut down on no-shows.
- Improve cash flow. With automated scheduling technology, you can give customers the option to conveniently pay online before, during or after their appointment, streamlining your invoicing process and helping you get paid faster.
