4 things to do right away!
Step 1: Change your voicemail
First things first: Clients call you to schedule appointments. Updating your voicemail is the most immediate way to let clients know they can schedule online with you. Some examples are below. You may need to mix and match depending on your preferences but you get the idea.
  • “Welcome to <Your Business Name>. I will call you back as soon as I can. For immediate booking assistance go to www.mywebsite.com and click the schedule now button.”
  • “Thank you for calling <Your Business>. To schedule online go to www.schedulicity.com and search [Your Business Name] and [Your City, Your State].”
  • “Hi, you’ve reached <Your Business Name> we are now offering the ultimate in appointment scheduling convenience. Book anytime, anywhere by going to www.mywebsite.com and click the “Schedule Now” button! Of course you can still leave a message, but booking in seconds is so much faster!”
  • “Hey this is <Your Business Name>. You can now schedule with me anytime the desire strikes just go to www.schedulicity.com and search for me, pick out the service and book it. I think you’ll dig it. If you want to go the old-fashioned route leave a message and I’ll get back to you.”
  • “Thanks for calling <Your Business Name>. Be sure to schedule your appointment online by visiting our website www.yourbusinesswebsite.com and click the “Schedule Now” button. If you want to leave a message I will get back to you ASAP.”
Step 2: Update your Facebook fan page and/or website
Attract new clients and give current clients the opportunity to schedule straight from Facebook or your website. Schedulicity offers a Schedule Now tab for your Facebook fan page or profile, scheduling widgets for your website, and a “Schedule Now” button. Each can be easily integrated into your existing social media or web presence. Use one or all to increase your visibility!
Step 3: Tell your clients
Your business is built on personal relationships: don’t forget to mention to your clients that they can now schedule with you online. We’ve made it easy by letting you invite your Facebook friends and Twitter followers from Schedulicity’s 'Spread the word' tab. We’re also sending you a pack of promotional cards you can give directly to your clients and friends.
Step 4: Send E-mail Invites
If you have been collecting e-mail addresses for your clients (and you should be!) send an invitation to schedule online using one of our 50 custom templates.
  • Personalize an invitation with a professionally designed “Schedule Online” template in the Marketing Module. Choose from the available color schemes and write a personal message to your clients. The advantages to scheduling online with you are already in the message!
  • Easy and professional, from Clients Module click the send invitations button to send an e-mail invite to clients (be sure to get those email addresses!).
