If you’re a small business owner, you’ve probably gone through a lot of trial and error to discover what organizational systems work the best for you. Do you keep track of appointments on a calendar, or in a diary planner? If you’ve ever considered using an online service to manage your schedule, you should have a look at CheckAppointments.com. This free service allows you to create and manage appointments online, with a detailed scheduling tool that keeps all of your appointment information in one place. And what’s really interesting is the fact that it also provides you with a website where your clients can book an appointment with you online, using their virtual tools.
In order to try out the service, I created an account and setup my own website as a test. The process was pretty easy, and it didn’t take too long to get the hang of the system. I could see a lot of value in the personalized CheckAppointment website as a free add-on for small businesses to include on their own company websites, as another way for customers to contact them for bookings. I actually told Jai that he might want to check this out for his computer business, as a way to keep his schedule in one place – it seems like a tool that would appeal to his organizational sense.
Have you ever tried a service like this before? Do you think this would be a helpful tool for scheduling, or do you prefer to scribble things on your calendar?
