Originally written by Anna Jordan on Small Business
An online booking system is fast becoming a fundamental part of running your small business.
But they can be bewildering on first glance – to ease the stress, we’ll explain what an online booking system is and why it would be beneficial to your small business. We’ll also show you what features you should be looking for and some of the best examples on the market.
What is an online booking system?
An online booking system is a platform or software you use to manage reservations for your business services. On top of recording bookings, these systems can accept customer payments online.
Why do I need an online booking system?
As it often makes the process simpler, having an online system will likely boost your bookings as it’s quicker than picking up the phone. Plus, you can take bookings around the clock which is more convenient for customers and for you.
Most systems send out automated texts and emails, so you don’t need to follow-up with customers, saving you time.
Having an online booking system will tell you more about your business. The reporting features give you advanced insights into your business and your customers: think popular products/services, customer demographics

Managing a small business is challenging, and the global Covid-19 pandemic is making it far harder. Moving your business online can be the best way to keep it alive.
Why is moving online the best advice for small business owners?
Right now, with hundreds of millions of people worldwide under lockdown or self-isolating, everything is taking place online. It’s the only way to learn, chat with friends, or shop right now. The coronavirus pandemic was caused in part by our hyper-connected society, which enabled the virus to zip around the world on planes within a couple of weeks, but our hyper-connected society can also be the solution, at least for small business owners.
We are already used to carrying out regular daily activities online, like chatting, making transactions, and researching purchases, so moving your interactions with customers online won’t feel like a radical change for them. Covid-19 has just given people who resisted an extra push to sign up to virtual experiences.
What’s more, you have a whole wealth of online tools to choose from to support your business. Zoom video is a great resource. Google Hangouts Meet, the enterprise version of Google Hangouts, is free till

Get your business online with this 7-step action plan

The internet has changed the way we communicate, shop, and explore. We don’t hesitate to ask Google which shops are open or are within our proximity. We head to the internet to do our shopping or reserve items that we can then collect in store. We communicate with businesses through websites and social media. If your business doesn’t have a website, you’re missing out on all these opportunities.
For example, if you’re a local retailer, getting yourself a website could mean people in your town are more likely to find your shop online when researching the local area. There could even be the opportunity to sell your products online or take requests for quotes. You have the chance to proactively reach customers before they’re in the radius of your store and the opportunity to connect with them once they’ve visited you, all through an online presence.
If building a website and getting your business online seems daunting, technical or just too time-consuming, it’s not. Replace the images your mind conjures up when you think of creating a website. Replace lines and lines of code with easy drag-and-drop functions; spending hours trying to buy a domain
