Why SimplyBook.me is an ideal fit for your events and entertainment business scheduling

Marketing Tools

Whether it’s a one-off or recurring event, use the marketing tools to let people know about the entertainment you offer, your event planning expertise, and more.
Instagram Sharing

Don't let a memorable event go by without sharing your success with your followers and clients. Share your images on Instagram, and on your booking site with the Instagram sharing feature.
Online Payments

Don't accept a booking and all the work that goes into preparing an event or show without taking payment. Don’t lose a potential paying client because of unsecured bookings.
Deposits

Need a commitment from your client? Protect yourself from preparation costs and unexpected cancellations by taking a deposit to secure an event.
POS and On-site Payments

Keep track of all appointment, payments and deposits with an on-site POS system that links with your booking system. Accept payments and let the system keep track of all your payments, both online and on-site. “SimplyBook.me made it super easy for our patients to book appointments, and it is even easier for us to manage our bookings in an efficient manner,” - states Jared.
Group Bookings

Offer group services when needed. Each provider has a number of people they can serve at once and if you want clients to book in groups, you just define max number of people who can be in a group

CASE STUDY

Q&A with a client

Q: How many bookings come through the booking site?

A: Virtually all of our bookings come through the booking website. We no longer take manual bookings or do manual invoicing. All bookings must be made through the website for our coordinators to see their booked events.

Q: Do you use the mobile admin app?

A: Yes, we do! It’s mandatory for all our coordinators to download the app, so they always know their schedule. That’s why we like the ability to assign agents to each separate booking. They always have the correct information for their bookings on the app.

Q: Do you use other button integrations, Google, Facebook, etc.?

A: Yes, we use all the booking buttons to get more bookings from as many places as possible.

Dance Stars Academy

We use the service for our Birthday party reservations. Huge help, and system does everything we need to avoid spending time and money on taking these reservations over the phone. In fact, we do not have a "live" phone number. Thanks to SimplyBook and other tools, we only respond to phone Voice Messages, and we don't get that many. All our processes are self-service and automated. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs a booking solution. System is very reach in terms configuration options, and lots of features and capabilities. Read more Show less
