5 Benefits to Offering an Online Booking Option for Customers

November 15, 2021     in Case Study, Sales & Marketing, Scheduling Software, Start Here, Systems & Automation     by Mony      Leave a Comment

Are you looking for a simple and effective way to increase revenue and attract new clients to your cleaning business? Today, consumers go online not only to buy products, but also to book services. Using an online booking system for your cleaning company will help you keep your business organized. It will also provide convenience for your customers that will translate into increased revenue. We’ll cover the top five benefits of an online booking system and explain how scheduling software will help you grow your cleaning business.

 

 

1. Your Cleaning Company is Always Open For Business 

One of the major benefits of booking online is customers can schedule service anytime, day or night. With standard booking services, you can only accept new appointments while your business is open. Compare that to online booking, in which you set up a cleaning business website where customers can schedule appointments online. You’ll make money while you sleep!

 

2. Streamline Your Booking System and Stay Organized 

Using pen and paper to manage your schedule leaves a lot of room for error and can cause communication issues with your customers and team members. The easiest way to keep your cleaning business organized and stay on top of your jobs is to use scheduling software.

 

When you use an online appointment scheduler in your booking process you will: 

Never Miss An Appointment 

You run the risk of missing client appointments if you don’t use a cleaning service online booking system. Missed appointments mean lost revenue and unhappy customers. An online booking system allows you to see all your jobs in one place so you never lose revenue or customers due to a missed appointment.  

 

Keep Your Team Organized and Informed

Properly training cleaning staff and managing them effectively is essential for the success of your cleaning business. With an online scheduling system, you can easily manage your jobs and team member assignments all in one place. An online booking system will let you communicate with your team more efficiently so your team members know where they should be and when.

 

 

3. Build a Detailed Client Database 

Cleaning business software that has a built-in booking system allows you to gather and store information on your customer base. You can use this data to improve your services and business operations. Along with basic contact information, track things like the type of services your clients are booking and how often they request them. This can help you determine where to focus your resources for promotions and investing in new products and technology.

A well-established customer database will help you:

  • Send customers targeted promotions they find valuable
  • Upsell customers on services they aren’t using
  • Time is the most valuable (and often the most limited) asset a small business owner has. Online booking allows you to invest the time you’d normally use to manage your schedule in other
  • Track customer spending habits to forecast revenue

 

4. Save Time You Can Invest Elsewhere 

Invest in other areas of your business! You can spend time promoting your cleaning business, researching new products and technology, or working on other areas of your business that need improvement.

Some time-saving benefits of online booking include:

  • Automated Communications: When you use scheduling software with automated features, you don’t have to manually send customers notifications or reminders. You can also use these systems to request feedback from customers to improve your processes.
  • Payments and Invoicing: An online booking system will streamline your invoicing process. You won’t have to send out invoices or use your time to process and track payments if your customers can pay online.
  • Easier Customer Quotes: A booking system provides customers with quotes. You’ll spend less time on the phone with prospective clients, and you won’t have to use time to visit their homes and businesses to give them a quote.

 

 

5. Improve Your Customer Experience and Increase Customer Retention

Customer retention is key for maintaining a successful cleaning business and one of the easiest ways to keep an existing customer is to provide them with convenience. You should make it as easy as possible for new and returning customers to book service with your cleaning company. Customers will appreciate the convenience of scheduling their service anytime using an online booking system.

Some of the features of online booking systems customers love include:  

  • Easily Book Online: Customers can book services with one click!
  • Online Payment Management: Your customers will love the convenience of being able to pay online whenever they want from wherever they are (just like shopping on Amazon).
  • Simple Communications: You still want to make it easy for customers to know what is coming up and who to contact with questions. Detailed and robust email customer communications are key for this reason and offered within software scheduling solutions in addition to just booking forms!

Remember: happy customers will tell their friends, families, and colleagues about your business if they have a great experience. Word of mouth is essential when you want to get more customers for your cleaning business.

 

 

An online booking system will keep you organized and give you back some of the valuable time you spend operating your cleaning business. When you let your customers book cleaning services online, you’ll improve your customer’s experience and increase your customer retention and acquisition. 

Get started driving sales today by investing in great cleaning business software that lets you track and manage your cleaning jobs.
