HourVille. Advertising and online scheduling for freelancers and local service providers.
"I'm a local service provider, what can online scheduling do for me?"
Offering your customers an online schedule and accepting online appointments can do wonders for your business. It's very convenient for you and your customers. Local service providers, especially freelancers, are sometimes unable to pick up the phone because they're with a customer when the phone rings. The same goes for replying to a customer e-mail within a reasonable amount of time. Does that sound like you?
Accepting online appointments helps solve this problem. Simply set up your online schedule at HourVille and link to it from your website, e-mails, or even Craigslist. Customize your button, and then place it wherever your customers will see it. Once on your schedule page, customers can choose an available time on your schedule and book their appointment. HourVille automatically verifies e-mail addresses and can even take a deposit or payment for you. Your online schedule can be updated in a matter of seconds! Advertise on Craigslist or anywhere else online? Plug in the Book Me button there too, and send over anyone who's interested to your online schedule.
In addition to the convenience of online scheduling, HourVille is a way for you to increase your customer conversion. Often customers will hang up if they can't get a hold of you (especially if they are new, prospective customers). By allowing your customers to make an appointment with you via your online schedule you will be able to take appointments even if you can't pick up the phone or return an e-mail in time. This helps retain your existing customers and make the best of new customer leads!
Think of all the time you spend on the phone and on email. Being able to tell your customers "go ahead, just pick a time and schedule me online," will allow you to reduce e-mail and phone tag and save you valuable time. Spend more time with your customers and less time managing your business.
Give it a try. HourVille is free. We're sure you'll love it - and your customers will too!
