Introduction to bookapro.com


We recently launched a new service in Atlanta called bookapro.com. We need your help in making it the best community to find professional services in Atlanta.

We are different from on-line directories in that we offer services to help promote and sell services for listing professionals. At the core of the site are detailed business profiles and an on-line appointment scheduling system.

By reading a professional's profile you can find out more about their experience and services. Most sites have cookie cutter selections that make everyone look the same. Our objective is to allow a professional to bring out their individual strengths and the strengths of their team. It is almost like a mini web page that can be linked to a business's primary web page.

The coolest feature is the on-line appointment scheduling which enables a consumer to purchase open appointments directly from the professional over the internet. With more and more consumers shopping on-line we feel this will be a great success.

On-line booking is a new concept for most professionals that have built their business around paper calendars and secretaries. We don't expect to replace that in the near future, but to supplement those activities. The key is to provide consumers options. By listing a few appointments on-line for sale, businesses can reach those consumers that would prefer not to pick up the phone and call. They would prefer to search for the service they need, select a professional and purchase on-line.

On-line appointment scheduling saves everyone time and money. It takes less time to purchase an appointment on-line than it does to call a business and schedule an appointment. It also reduces administration costs and frees up the professional to spend more time with clients.

Appointment notifications are sent to the professional via email and/or a text message on their cell phone whenever an appointment is booked on the site. This allows a professional to quickly update their primary calendar with the new client's information. You can also set expiration rules that remove appointments from your on-line calendar to avoid any last minute surprises when you are shopping or at the golf course.

We recommend businesses block off an appointment a day to sell on-line. However, you may provide all the necessary contact information if your business requires more interaction with potential clients. Remember, it is all about options. The on-line calendar is optional as well for those that prefer to strictly advertise and drive traffic to their business or website.

Bookapro.com offers many other features as well. Including: Gift Certificates, Payment integration with PayPal, Coupons, Task Calendar, Featured Advertising, and Consumer Feedback. Everything we do is designed to help consumers find quality services and help professionals promote their business.

We would love your feedback and will keep you updated on new features and enhancements. If you would like to promote your business with us you can join on-line at www.bookapro.com or call us at 404-423-2541. If you are a consumer of any of the services listed on our site, please take a minute and schedule an appointment with one of our professionals or recommend us to your favorite professional.

Thanks for reading my blog. Have a great day.
