My dentist had this great booking system. You just look up when he has some time for you. You book the time slot et voilá!

You even get a reminder a week for the consult, and an sms the day before. I thought wow! That's so easy, I want to have that too. Easy for customers, and easy for me as a photographer. 

A while I worked with the Facebook scheduler, but not everyone uses Facebook, so now  I found another not too expensive app.

You decide if you want a photography session of 30/45/60 minutes, find open dates and time slots, click click and it's done. 

And yes, I will send a reminder, because a no show is bad for me. Not only for my business (I prepare every shoot, checking lights, background, arranging my home studio) but also mentally. I prepare mentally to every shoot. Portraits take mental energy, but a no show takes even more mental energy. 

So after 2 e-mail reminders, we meet at the reserved date and time, and together we work for great results.

How about trying it right now?
