Online booking for your clinic allows your clients to book directly into your diary 24/7.

Once you have configured your own clinic appointment system, your clients will be able to:

• Check and book availability
• Find out more about your practice
• Find out more about your treatments
• Find out more about your team
• Find out more about promotions that you may be running

If you use WriteUpp's online scheduling software, the steps your clients will need to take are as follows:

Step 1:

First, clients click on your unique booking URL to open up your own branded booking engine. They can access this anytime, from anywhere!

Step 2:

They then select the clinician, treatment type, and time. Clients can book without you being there, but you'll still maintain control over availability.

Step 3:

Clients review appointment details and complete an online reservation by hitting confirm. You then get alerted with an instant notification, and an SMS reminder nearer to the time of the appointment.

You can add an optional step here asking them to make a payment before the appointment is confirmed.

It really is that simple!

It may sound strange, but people tend to prefer booking online rather than picking up the phone and speaking to you!

One of the biggest drawbacks of phone-based booking is that whilst they're a more personal experience, they're reliant on two people to make the booking work.

That presents an issue for your potential client, who has to bend their schedule around your hours.

On your end, the hours you can take bookings between are limited by the numbers of calls you can take at any given time.

Using online booking software means clients can book at any time from anywhere.

There are loads of benefits of using online booking to you as a clinician!

You don't have to spend time on the phone taking bookings

We've said it before and we'll say it again:

Time spent on admin is time spent away from your clients. If you can automate your booking process, why wouldn't you?

Online booking means your clients can book themselves into your diary without you having to do it for them.

It's significantly easier for your clients to make bookings

Using online booking means clients can book at any time, on any platform, from anywhere in the world without having to pick up the phone within your working hours. And in most cases this results in an increase in fee income!

You can say goodbye to double bookings!

A booking software will make sure that your clients can only book into an available appointment slot, which will be synced with your personal diary within your practice management system. It means you won't need to worry about clients double booking themselves, or doing that yourself!

In all but a few situations, online booking makes sense from your perspective and in most situations it will be exactly what your clients want.
