  • Appointment Scheduling Simplified: Introducing Our (Free) Scheduling Software

Booking appointments or free consultations is incredibly important for many local businesses, from plumbers and salons to accountants and wedding planners. It’s how you get new customers and bring in revenue. But actually getting those appointments scheduled often takes way more time than it needs to.

In fact, it takes on average seven emails to set up and confirm an appointment. Plus, one-third of people would prefer to schedule an appointment themselves rather than call the business or fill out a contact form.

Online scheduling software is the answer. With appointment scheduling software, customers can easily book an appointment with your business without all the back-and-forth—and in a way they prefer. And you save time you can put back into running your business. It’s a win-win.
