6 Best Practices to Increase Online Scheduling At Your Auto Shop with AutoOps
Tell your customers about online scheduling at the front desk
When customers pick up their car, let them know they can schedule their next appointment online! If you use follow-up texts or emails for rating their service, consider including an AutoOps scheduling link!
Include the AutoOps scheduling link on all social media posts
AutoOps can provide a post announcing that your shop now hosts online scheduling. After this, use the AutoOps auto-open link as a call-to-action for all social media posts!
Use AutoOps for all ‘Schedule Appointment’ buttons
Facebook, Google Business Profile, Yelp, email signatures, and more, have scheduling buttons. Use the AutoOps scheduling link for all these buttons. AutoOps will also let you know where all your scheduled appointments are coming from!
Send a text and email blast to all current customers
Let your current customers know that they can now schedule service online by visiting your website. Tell them it’s the quickest and most convenient way to schedule an appointment. They can schedule anytime from their phone or computer.
Update your voicemail and on-hold message
When customers call your shop and are on hold or go to voicemail, tell them that they can schedule appointments online at your website. Some call services offer the ability to text a message to the caller, which could include the AutoOps scheduling link.
Use print marketing to notify about online scheduling
Tell your customers that they can schedule online when you send out mailers or with the signage in your shop. You can even use QR codes on whatever you print to take customers directly into scheduling.
