Businesses and organizations that rely on Appointment-Plus, the leading developer of online scheduling calendars, now have another option for efficiently and quickly sending newsletters, e-mails and other marketing messages to their customers thanks to a new integration with e-marketing provider Constant Contact.
The Appointment-Plus/Constant Contact sync is the latest in a series of upcoming releases that form the perfect toolbox of applications that businesses need to grow and operate successfully, including online appointment scheduling, online customer payment-processing, accounting and e-marketing. Appointment-Plus also offers e-marketing capabilities through e-marketing provider iContact.
Proactive marketing and communication with current and past customers is essential in keeping your appointment and reservation slots full, and e-marketing can be the most effective and affordable way to accomplish this, says Bob La Loggia, CEO of Appointment-Plus. This exciting new integration is a perfect pairing of two proven business applications, as an e-newsletter or e-mail sent through Constant Contact is the perfect spot to promote discounts or promotions and give customer recipients the ability to immediately book their appointments or reservations, instead of having to access the online scheduler calendar separately.
The new feature enables clients to seamlessly upload their Appointment-Plus client information right into their Constant Contact account, where they have access to all available applications, such as newsletter templates, surveys and tracking and reporting tools. Businesses and organizations can place their Appointment-Plus-provided Book Now button in newsletters and e-mails messages, creating a highly-visible image that draws customers attention and encourages them to book online.
All Appointment-Plus customers have access to the Constant Contact sync right through their online scheduler calendar software. A subscription to Constant Contact is required. The e-marketing provider manages all opt-out and unsubscribe e-mail addresses automatically, which saves owners and staff the time and effort it takes to manually manage these.
The leading provider of Web-based scheduling solutions to businesses and organizations of all sizes since 2001, Appointment-Plus online scheduling calendars provide the tools these groups need to successfully and efficiently manage their appointments and reservations, as well as their customer contact information. Among the functionality found in the feature-rich system is:
