How easy are you making it for your customer to book with you? Customer now expect to be provided one-click options to take action on something that is desired or required.
Think of the “Shop now” buttons in emails you get from businesses that you follow and what about SMS text messages to remind you a sale will end soon, there is always a link for you to easily access the sale so that you don’t miss out.
