Good Morning Debi

Another Tuesday, and we meet again! Ya me - 2 weeks in a row! Honestly I love writing this content for you each week - but, some weeks there just isn't enough time...

First Up...

Last week was interesting, back-to-back meetings the entire week (why I do that to myself, I'll never know, while I love meeting with clients, it doesn't leave much time to get the work done). One of those meetings was a planning and strategy session for PRowl - now that's different consulting for our own business,(as with so many businesses, planning often goes by the wayside) LOL - but very productive and energizing. Some great ideas and strategies were developed by Mac, Steve and I to be implemented over the coming weeks/months... Invigorating!

This week a tidbit of information on booking calendars, our latest webinar announcement and a rehash of last week -- the two unique contests were very popular so we left them in - the deadline for the first one is April 30th -- that's TODAY!

Voting is NOW OPEN - PRowl Communications, Telltale Studios, Connecting Niagara and Niagara Business Directory have been nominated for the Niagara Community Awards, I would love it if you would take the time to VOTE for us. You'll need to create an account, go to the services category and you'll find us in a variety of categories - if you only have to time for one - please vote for us in the Web Design Category! Thank you!

Networking: (Local Niagara) Celebrating 10 Years

Clients & Cocktails Networking - this week we will be in St. Catharines. Message me if you would like to join us...

Enjoy!

Booking Calendars Increase Bookings 20-30%

Using an online booking calendar can significantly increase the number of appointments booked for consulting and service-based businesses. Here are a few key benefits and statistics:

1. Increased Accessibility: Clients can book appointments anytime, not just during business hours, which increases the likelihood of booking.
2. Convenience: It simplifies the process for both the business and the client, allowing for immediate booking without back-and-forth communication.
3. Reduced No-Shows: Automated reminders can decrease the number of missed appointments.
4. Efficiency: It saves time for both staff and clients, reducing the administrative burden associated with manual scheduling.
5. Data Insights: Businesses can track booking trends and adjust services or staffing accordingly.

Although specific statistics can vary, studies and business reports generally indicate that implementing an online booking system can lead to an increase in appointments. For example, some businesses report increases of 20% to 30% in booking rates after adopting online scheduling tools. This enhancement is primarily due to the ease and constant availability of scheduling, which encourages more clients to commit to appointments. AND, Gen Z & Millennials would prefer to book appointments this way....

If you would like to learn more about a booking calendar, just book a meeting with us at meet.prowlcommunications.com - You'll get to see one in action and find out more when we have the meeting you booked. Of course, if you can't wait, you can always get a free trial of Zoho Bookings here - (yes, it is our partner affiliate link, but more than that, we offer setup and implementation services should you need them).
