ABMP Names Full Slate as Its Preferred Appointment Scheduling Software

SEATTLE, June 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP) announced last week that it's chosen Full Slate as its preferred appointment scheduling software. The trade organization will offer special pricing on Full Slate as an exclusive benefit to its more than 77,000 members.

Mary Heinz, manager of member benefits for ABMP, said, "We evaluated a lot of online schedulers and chose Full Slate because it's really easy to use, and they provide outstanding customer support." The trade organization has integrated online scheduling into its "Find a Therapist" search engine on Massagetherapy.com.  In addition, ABMP members can easily add Full Slate's online scheduler to their own websites and Facebook pages.

"The booking widget integration into my website was seamless," said Matt Hsu, who owns and operates a bodywork clinic. He continued, "Unlike a lot of the other services I've tried, Full Slate has a clean look that can mimic your own site without hassle."

Full Slate's online scheduler enables clients to see when a therapist has openings and make their own appointments directly from the web.  The therapist receives a "new appointment" alert by email or text message, has the option to review before confirming, and maintains full control of their schedule.

Lynn Patricia, author of The Massage Geek® blog, recently started using Full Slate's appointment scheduling software in her private practice. "It's fast, easy to use without any instruction, and offers more features than other scheduling systems in its price range," writes Ms. Patricia.  Those features include automatic appointment reminders and follow-ups, a built-in client database, support for multiple staff members and recurring appointments, plus a mobile interface for the iPhone and Android.

In addition to a 40 percent discount, ABMP members can take advantage of Full Slate's standard free trial, which lets businesses use the online scheduling software for free until clients make ten appointments online.  Full Slate also provides a setup coach to help businesses get started with online scheduling.

Sinthea Hunt, a licensed massage therapist and registered nurse, switched to Full Slate after learning about the discount for ABMP members. "I found Full Slate to be easy to set up and easier to work with than the other online scheduling software I was using.  Their interface is much more intuitive."

Mr. Hsu echoed that sentiment. "Over the past four years, I've tested out appointment scheduling software from no less than ten companies. Full Slate's intuitive, user-friendly design is a breath of fresh air.  Even better is the fact that it's fast— it takes me a fifth of the time to book an appointment compared to the last system I was using."

ABMP says, "We decided to change services because we felt that Full Slate offers a more comprehensive package and is more beneficial to our members and their practices."
