1. Customers can schedule services in a familiar space
It’s undeniable, the world is going digital; keeping up is a must. Customers value online experiences, especially when making purchases.
Taking your booking services online provides a competitive advantage for your business. In fact, 94% of respondents said they’d be more likely to choose a provider that uses online booking over one who doesn’t, according to . Simply put, if your business isn’t offering online booking, your prospects are likely going to competitors who do.
Your customers and prospects expect to you cater to them. In an age where people already use the internet for much of their day-to-day, an online booking form on your website perfectly aligns with their lifestyle.
An online appointment system pays off. Think about your customers’ experiences navigating your website. People use your website to understand your services and make informed decisions. Providing a scheduling system is a logical next step that compels them to purchase your services right away.
2. Appointments go directly into your diary
The best online appointment systems directly sync to your calendar. This dramatically cuts down tedious scheduling tasks for your office team. When a customer books an appointment online, it goes straight into your calendar. You won’t have to worry about manually booking new jobs. This means your office has more time to focus on other areas
3. Quick and easy for customers
Keep in mind that your online appointment system should be flexible and customisable. You should be able to decide which services your customers can and can’t book online. It’s up to you, only the services you choose to list will appear on your online booking form
Customisation is important for your business, but it also helps customer
Not only does a well designed booking form menu look professional, it allows customers to quickly choose the service they’re looking for. Even better, you can even include the service price so customers will be aware of what they will owe
Let customers control their appointments; top-notch booking forms provide a spot where they can select their date and time slot and give payment.
Remember, while online appointment systems are powerful pieces of software, they should give you all the information you need while keeping it as painless as possible on your customer’s end.
4. Improves the customer scheduling journey
The last thing you want to do is make customers jump through hoops in order to book an appointment.
Customers needing to step out of work to schedule an appointment or sit on hold are bad experiences. It’s inconveniences like these that can result in your customer going to the competition.
According to GetApp’s research, nearly 70% of people would rather book their services online, while only about 20% prefer to book over the phone. Think about all the untapped business you could have access to with an online booking portal!
Customers appreciate it when you don’t waste their time. Offering online booking provides value because customers can book anywhere they have internet, rather than depending on staff availability to set their appointment up. No one likes throwing dates back and forth over the phone.
Scheduling with your customers’ preferences in mind pays off; your team will see an increase in both jobs and cash flow.
5. Converts new prospects easily
A simple and easy-to-use booking system converts more leads.
Online appointment systems contribute to business growth because it’s easy for new customers to quickly fill out a form and get into your CRM. This makes it that much easier to gain new clients and have their data inputted without getting admin involved.
On top of that, you get a new job scheduled in mere moments!
Reduces admin time spent booking jobs
Simply put, online booking systems are less exhausting to manage.
