Whether you’re a one-person business or manage a team, chances are that you interact with customers daily. When they’re hungry for a spot in your calendar, it pays to keep the booking process short and sweet.

No website? No problem.

Your Booking Page is 100% responsive so it’s easy to navigate across desktop, tablet and mobile screens.

It has a customizable URL and can act as a website for your business. Add your brand elements, showcase your services and make it your own. There’s no need to reserve a domain or build a site from scratch. Your Booking Page template allows you to display customer reviews, staff profiles, an ‘About’ section, and more.

Staff and services also have individual booking links so you can share the most relevant link with customers. Your Booking Page enables people to learn more about your business and book right away.

If you already have a website, you can also embed a ‘Book now’ button or your full Booking Page. Turn visitors into new customers and create an all-new channel for conversion.

Your Booking Page is brandable.

Personalize your Booking Page by adding a logo and more brand elements. You can highlight the story of your business and bring together your offline and online communications. Here are some ideas:

• Activate the ‘Reviews’ section: Your customers are prompted to leave feedback that you can feature on your Booking Page. Ideal for converting new visitors.
• Provide the essentials, and then some: Share your website, business hours, a Google Maps pin, links to your social media, and more.
• Stream your Instagram posts: Whenever you upload a new photo, it appears on your Booking Page. Your newest content is available to visitors front-and-center.

Go one step further with a Pro or Team account and remove Setmore branding from your Booking Page completely.

Showcase the people behind your business.

It’s not all about location and cost. Leads also respond to testimonials and company values. Building trust is not only a huge part of getting customers, but keeping them coming back.

Provide visual cues that your business is active, accessible and operates with skilled and approachable specialists.

Services and staff profiles on your Booking Page can feature thumbnail images. These thumbnails appear when customers choose a service and provider. You can also activate the ‘Images’ section and upload shots that spotlight your quality of service, facilities, events and company culture.

You set the rules.

Account admins can specify how online booking works, e.g. how far in advance customers can pre-book and the duration of services. With a short booking window, you could see emergency appointments increase. By setting buffer time, you account for travel in between appointments.

For those who have a global customer base, your Booking Page can show your availability in your visitor’s local time zone. You both also receive email appointment confirmations in your time zone.

Create a new stream of revenue.

Enhance your Booking Page with a Stripe, Paypal or Square gateway. This enables you to accept debit and credit card payments for your services. Customers can pay in full or in part (it’s up to you) in one go.

All transaction details are stored in your account for easy payment tracking, and are syncable with popular accounting apps like QuickBooks.

When payment is taken ahead of time, all that’s left is to provide excellent service when your customers show up.

Your Booking Page is connected to your Setmore calendar, ensuring customers only see available time slots. It updates in real-time to help you avoid double-booking.
