BOZEMAN, Mont.--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--Schedulicity,
the leader in online appointment scheduling, announced today the
first
Facebook scheduling widget for booking everyday appointments like
haircuts, lessons, financial and legal services, home repair,
beauty and
wellness, to name a few. The first-of-its-kind appointment widget
benefits both small businesses and clients by making everyday
appointments easy and now more accessible than ever on the world?s
most
popular social networking site.
?This should be the way all our service providers work!?
With today?s news, there are already Schedulicity businesses
around the
country with scheduling widgets on their Facebook pages and
?Schedule
Now? tabs that make booking appointments as easy for clients as
?sharing? and ?liking.? As part of its set-up wizard, Schedulicity
has a
?Spread the Word? feature that instantly notifies Facebook,
Twitter and
Linked-In connections as well as sends an online scheduling alert
to
client emails. To further leverage the power of social referrals,
Schedulicity has added a ?Recommend? button for clients to share
their
enthusiasm for great services.
Several businesses with deployed scheduling widgets include: Advanced
Bodywork Center, Kennett
Square Massage, Owens
Financial Services, Sunrise
Acupuncture Clinic and Witt?s
Water Works.
?When clients can schedule an appointment without ever leaving an
online
activity they enjoy, such as Facebook, it?s an incredible benefit
to our
business,? said Willow Coppola, owner of Return2Balance
Wellness Center in Maysville, Kentucky. ?We?ve immediately
seen an
increase in business because of the technology.?
Two versions of the widget were announced today, an embeddable
widget,
ideal for small business websites with dedicated online scheduling
pages
and an overlay widget that allows scheduling from any page,
especially Facebook pages. Both are flash compatible.
?With these new features, we are placing service professionals at
the
epicenter of the social movement,? said Jerry Nettuno, CEO of
Schedulicity. ?There?s no better way to empower small business
than to
give them the tools to expand their businesses, their
relationships and
productivity beyond what?s ever been possible before.?
Recent comments from Schedulicity?s Facebook community include
these
from: Ginny Ozelton, hairstylist, ?My clients love being in charge
of
their own scheduling because they don't have to play phone tag
with me
anymore;" Trent Anderson of A2S Insurance commented, ?A2S
Insurance
Services joined today.. It?s awesome.? And from consumers like
Damien
Powers, ?This should be the way all our service providers work!?
