Last-minute bookings can be great for filling gaps in your schedule. Here are five ways to make it easy for clients to book you on short notice.
1. Offer More Than One Package
Having multiple packages at different price points gives last-minute clients options. Someone who cannot afford your premium package might book your basic one. A booking at a lower rate is better than an empty date.
To let clients choose more than one package on a single booking, enable that option in the Booking Engine settings.
2. Enable Online Booking
Clients booking last-minute do not want to wait for a proposal. Let them book and pay immediately through your online booking page. The fewer steps, the better.
3. Show Your Availability
Add an availability calendar widget to your website so clients can instantly see which dates are open. Embed it with Website Integration.
4. Use Flex Pricing for Last-Minute Discounts
Create a discount rule that automatically applies when the event date is within a few days. This rewards last-minute bookers and fills your calendar. Set it up in Flex Pricing.
5. Respond Fast
If a last-minute inquiry comes in as a lead, follow up immediately. Enable push notifications on the Check Cherry app for iOS and Android so you see new leads the moment they arrive.
