What it does
- Customers book a date and a start time from your site or a link you text
- You choose how many crews and start times you open each day
- A deposit invoice goes out when they book, so the date is real
- You and the customer get reminders before moving day
- Need to move a job? The customer gets the new time
Why it matters
Most local moves are booked one to four weeks ahead, and month-end weekends go first. If a customer has to wait for a callback to find out whether the 30th is open, they book whoever answered. Showing open dates also pushes flexible customers toward your slow weekdays, which is where a small company makes its margin. Read how to handle month-end and summer peaks for how to price them.
