Why you'll find Zoho Bookings a better alternative to Setmore Appointments
Personalization
Booking page
Zoho Bookings has themes and layouts to give you beautiful booking pages in no time. Use the color palate feature to apply your brand colors to the booking page. Write booking page content that talks to your audience, and upload a relevant background image that pleases them.
Domain mapping
Map your booking page to your domain and get a white-labelled booking page. You can also set up the notification emails to go from your domain. Customers will experience your brand throughout the booking process.
Emails
Write personalized and contextual content to connect with your customers. Insert variables like appointment time and meeting links to change the emails and SMSes dynamically. Customize sender address to send emails from the mail ID your customers are familiar with. Have an HTML template for your emails? You can upload that, and send good-looking emails that bolster your brand.
Features
Reminders
Reduce no-shows with up to three email and SMS reminders. Customize these reminders to include cancellation and rescheduling links in case customers won't be able to join the meeting.
Workspaces
Group your team as workspaces and pool their calendars. Share the team booking page with customers and get bookings for the entire team, organized and assigned with set algorithms. Set up policies and preferences unique to that workspace and let the team work in the way they work best.
Classes
Scheduling classes is faster and easier with Zoho Bookings. You can have your customers book you for a series of sessions, or just one, depending on the class type you create.
