A good appointment scheduling system is the one which can help convert your visitors into clients. We understand that every visitor is worth some money spent on advertisement and so we try everything to get you better conversions. Here at Appointy, we work on every small things which can help our clients to get more bookings.

With this same thought we have brought a new feature which would show your booked times as striked out. Your visitors would see that there are other people who have already booked your services and for new clients it would give them a faith to book your services. We also have a review system but not every visitor might go there.

We hope that this feature would definitely help you to convert some of your visitors into clients.

Happy Scheduling!

Today, we got an email from a client who asked that if we are still active or not? This reminded me that we were so busy in bringing more features that we actually forgot to send updates to our clients. With your feedbacks, Appointy is now the most powerful scheduling software and now we are launching few features which would make Appointy, the most powerful marketing tool for all Businesses. We are all set with it and next month we will bring all those features in Beta. So wait for the grand re-launch of Appointy 2.0.

In the mean time, we would like to remind you about the features we have rolled out silently. Many of you might have already seen or used those features. If not then here is a quick review:

1. Better Dynamic Forms: We have added more controls to dynamic forms like Radio buttons and check boxes. You can now set to save client’s custom form data which can auto fill during their next appointment. For ex. One of our client which is a Dog grooming company asks their clients to enter their Dog’s details during booking. During next booking their client can either select old information or they can schedule service for their new dog. We are working on many reports which will also help you to filter records based on these forms also.

2. Improved Navigation: We have changed the Top Menus in admin area. Now you can reach any page directly without opening the main Menu. Mouse hovering any menu will pop a drop-down menu making it more easy to navigate.

3. Improved Email Marketing with various new filters: You can email your friends on Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail and others. You can import data from csv file or send emails to your clients on Appointy. These clients can also be filtered on various criteria. Within 2 weeks, we will add more search criteria.

4. Improved Client invite tool : Just check it to see it. In 2 weeks it will link to your Email marketing templates and you can create custom invite templates and send it to your clients.

We will try to update you as soon as we release more features. There are tons of features coming. Stay tuned for our grand re-launch with lots of features.

Holiday season is a great time to thank clients by offering them discounts, gifts, and deals and at the same time increase sales. You might be doing it already in the past. But this time, we want you to take a step forward and try to make a community of your fans from your clients.

This time, by offering discounts you will be getting 2 things:

The three most important ways of leveraging Facebook for marketing:

» Establish a strong profile as this is the basis of your entire Facebook marketing strategy because it gives you the ability to show others what you can do, who you can help and what you have to offer. This is where you can list your website or blog and works as a wonderful portal to take people there. Get people to your profile and if they find it interesting enough, they will click on the links.

» Reach your target market easily by using the Facebook feature that allows you to see friends of friends.

Note: Do not forget to update your Facebook link in Appointy from Admin area, within Customize tab under Settings menu. Once updated, you will not need to make any changes to ready-to-use templates and you can be growing your business with few clicks in less than 5 minutes.

Over the last year, we have found that most of the Business registrations are coming from websites which are already using Appointy. We have heard from various Businesses using Appointy that their client fell in love with their scheduling software (Appointy) at first sight and if there is a way they could monetize it in some way or the other.

We listened, and finally we are releasing our Affiliate program. You don’t have to pay anything to join it. You can join if you are using it. Your client will see it and they would click on the powered by link and if they join as a premium member we will pay you at least 25% commissions of his membership every month for his entire paid cycle. Our commission struture changes as you refer more clients and we share 50% revenue if you have 150 premium clients.

Appointy is a self selling software and we would strongly suggest every one to join us as an affiliate.
