Schedulicity http://www.schedulicity.com/, the leader in online appointment
scheduling, takes the hassles and effort out of time-consuming tasks by
automating and streamlining the scheduling process for appointment-dependent
businesses. By offering online service scheduling 24 hours a day through
different digital channels (i.e. Facebook business page, Twitter, business web
page, Schedulicity’s own search portal), service professionals are able to
easily and effectively attract new business, increase current client
appointments, decrease cancellations and concentrate on providing the best
possible service during business hours. Currently, more than 6 million
appointments have been booked to date using Schedulicity, facilitating over $450
million in appointment-based commerce.

Schedulicity is available to businesses via the web as a SaaS, compatible with
IE, Safari, Google-Chrome and Firefox, as well as Blackberry, Android, iPhones
and iPads. Schedulicity pioneered the integration of the appointment process
with Facebook and helps position businesses at the center of evolving trends in
social media, mobile, online ads and promotions. In July 2011, Schedulicity
launched the first Deal Manager, a feature within Schedulicity that allows
businesses to define the maximum appointments per day that can be generated over
the lifespan of a daily deal promotion. It helps avoid cannibalization of full-
priced services and potential full priced walk-ins. Most recently, Schedulicity
unveiled another feature called Pop-Up Offers, which allows service
professionals to assign a discount to a newly available time slot, and within
minutes, make that offer available to their customer base. This feature allows
businesses to essentially create their own hyper-local daily deals on their own
terms, and helps them avoid the cost of losing the timeslot completely.
Schedulicity targets over 35+ types of appointment-dependent small businesses
and independent service professionals, primarily in the common consumer market.
Potential customers range from plumbers to accountants, consultants, trainers,
dog walker, hair professionals, massage therapists, and many more. Schedulicity
saves these businesses both time and money by automating the scheduling process
and allowing for day or night booking. Schedulicity empowers merchants with
multiple ways to easily and effectively communicate with their customers. Once
the consumer has entered through an access point, service professionals achieve
that crucial one-on-one relationship with new and existing clients, helping
create loyal, engaged repeat customers.

Schedulicity is the ONLY online scheduling solution that allows easy, integrated
real-time-booking, inventory (appointment) management, social-media marketing,
CRM and new client acquisition tools, fundamentally changing the way service
professionals manage their business. It is also the only online scheduling
service to offer Deal Manager or Pop-Up Offers. Schedulicity saves businesses
time and provides multiple entry points to attract consumers and helps
communicate with them in an efficient, effective manner. Clients are more loyal
when convenience is added into their lives and will book more often. Data
indicates over 50% of consumers schedule after business hours. Schedulicity
helps turn an impulse into an appointment.
