Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Facebook page booking tab not working?

Short answer: Facebook changed its rules.
Details: Due to recent API changes, Facebook decided only to allow this feature when you have more than 2000 page likes.

Solution?
Best solution to be able to get online bookings directly from your (<2k liked) Facebook page, is to convince Facebook they should lift this limitation: Ask them.
Within current rules, the only solution is to get 2000 likes. Real likes or bought ones (latter not advised).

Workaround
A powerful manual workaround is just posting content with prepared booking scripts from the getBIZZI widget service. There is always a way getting your services noticed!

We apologize for this inconvenience but this is something we do not have control over.

Popular?
For those of you who do have an active and widely appreciated Facebook page, make sure your followers are even more charmed by your integrated online booking service. Clicking a ‘Book Now’ button and claim your appointment within Facebook maybe more to their liking!

  • Send invitations via your mail network (with permission).
  • Create an offer page on your website.
  • Provide a Facebook calendar page (check FB rules).

How can I convert online customers faster?

First of all, your offer must be attractive. Based on this, availability is the most important thing. It is a myth that customers always want everything directly. Especially in services when they have to be present themselves, customers prefer to search for a suitable time. The knowledge that they have secured a reservation is at least as satisfying.

You know your customers best. You know the online channels they use. Because your agenda can be placed anywhere, you can always be reached with 1 click, without worrying about inconvenient telephone calls.

Our rSVP appointment push makes it possible to make an attractive offer within your customer base. Your conversions are fast and always personal!

How can I motivate my clientele to book online with me from now on?

A number of things seem to work well with our customers.

  • Novice online customers prefer – after approval – you already create their login account. The easiest way to do this is have them log in via a Google account and, for example, log in with their mobile phone immediately. Show them how when they visit your place.
  • Many customers appreciate it when a new appointment is planned at the end of their service, scheduled by the service provider. (Confirmation mail is received as a reminder by customer).
  • Very much appreciated gestures are special birthday e-mails, especially those including a personal service offer to celebrate the occacion (in the form of a trial sample or extra discount).
  • In order to spread customers more evenly, remarketing emails are sometimes sent out, to fill slow hours at a reduced rate for instance.
How can my store be open for more than 8 hours without extra red tape blockers?

Extend your fixed opening hours with online booked service times. Communicate your extra flexible opening times via other channels such as voice mail and Social Media or store communication.

How do I place my service calendar on my website?

You can integrate your services schedule into your website or social media channels in various ways. Via a ‘Book Now’ button or via a link in your web content or even via a small, integrated live calendar through a widget.

This is how you create your own codes: Step by Step widget generator.

You can easily create the codes to build this via our widget generator. This is accessible in your dashboard via ‘Promote’. You can fix this yourself or, if you prefer this to be done by your web designer, you can authorize it once to generate the codes for you [use Webdesigner button].

Questions from clients

Link to my booking portal. How do I do that flawlessly?

When you have enabled your booking portal, your company is bookable 24-7 and can be found on https://bedrijfsnaam.getbizzi.eu NB! so without www in the url otherwise you probably get an error message from your browser and/or antivirus program. Your calendar is not accessible through the World Wide Web but through the secure SSL connection under getbizzi.eu.

Therefor you can mention your company via mail, text or app messages, social or in your website content via htpps://companyname.getbizzi.eu (enter your given url instead of ‘companyname’ when signing up with getBIZZI)

Can my repeat customers book their follow-up appointment themselves?

Of course they can! Even in different ways:

  • You can leave them free and have them booked once (via your own login name).
  • You send them an invitation link, in which the appointment type and period has already been proposed.
  • You book a sequel yourself at the end of the current appointment upon oral consultation.
Is an online appointment system not at the expense of personal contact?

You would think that. But then again, is the time you spend on the phone with one customer not at the expense of your personal contact with the other customer?

It turns out that because there are no phone interruptions during your service provision, you are more focused on personal wishes and social small talk, thereby strengthening the personal relationship. Each service provider will thus be maximally charged for any personal service.

How do I avoid double bookings?

Simple, getBIZZI simply cannot double-book.

Duplicate bookings are most likely to occur when you manually book items yourself, without the system being aware of it. If you use other – unsynchronized online agendas – besides your getBIZZI work agenda – getBIZZI will not know that you have blocked time with other activities. In case of synchronization, getBIZZI knows – after checking in your other agenda – whether these timeslots can actually be offered as free for services.

Does getBIZZI support iDEAL payments?

getBIZZI supports the online advance payment by customers via iDEAL. It does so via Mollie payment services.

In which market segments are online appointments the most successful?

Every combination of a time period and a standardized service that has to be delivered in person is easy to book online.

Most successful are ambulatory services, acupuncture, hairdresser and beauty centers, financial services, automotive and personal healthcare. Personal coaching, trainers and consultancy are also favorites. Agreements with (lower) governments are also increasingly common (passport, driver’s license). Services that require a personal intake, such as psychologists, relationship therapists and accountancy services, are certainly also popular.

Actually, every professional who wants to make direct contact with the market without campaign money.
