How to fully utilize online bookings using the Zoyya app

There are two ways to send an email invitation to a client via Zoyya.

How often do clients send you a message on WhatsApp or any other inbox inquiring about available appointments?

Then the back-and-forth begins, figuring out who is available and when and which can take until the next holiday.

The next time you receive such a message, reply that you now have a new, fast, and easy way to book appointments through a clear calendar and send the link to your profile in the message so they can book immediately.

Next time, they will know how to do it themselves, and there will be no more long conversations at all hours of the day and night.

Suppose you want to be as productive as possible and do everything simultaneously. In that case, it is best to send a WhatsApp notification to your entire client directory about the new way of booking appointments right after introducing Zoyya.

This way, you will remind them of your services, encourage them to book and visit you, and teach them a new, better way to book.

You most likely have a Facebook and Instagram profile for your business.

Your clients look there for new posts and interesting services, and new clients try to find more information. Those who don't know you search for your services on Google, so it's good to have a profile on Google My Business as well. It's all free, so it makes sense to make an effort to direct clients to booking services directly, quickly, and easily - at any time of day or night.

Believe it, all of this brings more traffic and profit.

For this, you'll first need the LINK to your profile or homepage for booking your business.

Having a direct link to your salon is generally good to have on hand because you can always share it via Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Viber, SMS, email, post it on Facebook and Instagram.

You can find the link to your profile in the Booking Settings as shown below. Copy that link and open your social networks. If you want the salon's name to appear in the link (which we recommend), enter the salon's name without spaces in the URL field. For example, just add: SalonNina

How to post a story on Instagram with a link to online booking at your salon?

On the home screen of your profile, at the top, there's a + icon. Clicking on the icon brings up a menu where you select 'Story.'

Add an attractive image (a photo of a service in progress, a picture of your salon, your employees, etc.) and select 'LINK' in the search if your settings are in English.

Paste the link to your online booking profile and post the story by clicking 'Your Story' button.

Don't forget to use the place for a website link in the description of your Instagram profile, often called Bio.

Click on 'Edit Profile.' In the space for the link, place the link to your online booking profile (e.g., https://zoyya.com/SalonBeautyNina), and in Bio, write something about your salon and end with a sentence like: 'Book through the app ↓' (and add a downward arrow as your online booking link will appear below).

How to Set Up a Booking Link on Your Google Profile

Sign in to Google My Business.

After signing in, click on 'Info:'

Under 'Appointment links,' click the pencil icon to edit.

Paste your online booking profile link into the designated field

(e.g., https://zoyya.com/SalonBeautyNina) and click 'Apply' in the bottom right corner.

Done! Your Google My Business page now has a direct link to your schedule and online bookings.

Don't have a Google My Business profile and don't know how to set it up? Check out these short instructions for creating a Google profile.

That approach is good for several reasons.

First of all, you fill out your schedule in advance and ensure that you have bookings from existing clients in the future, maximizing the number of visits they make in a year.

Secondly, and no less important, you will make it easier for clients to manage their appointments. They will be satisfied knowing the proper interval between treatments, having a secure and reserved appointment for the next time, and not having to worry about not getting an appointment. You will avoid disappointing regular clients, which sometimes happens when you have to turn them away because all desired slots are booked.

Additionally, highlight the option of online booking at convenient places in the salon.
