Read More on Home Business & Small Business ArticlesWe are used to booking flights and hotels on the internet, but why can't we also book on the internet a round of golf at our local golf club ? a game of tennis at the tennis court, a driving lesson, a service for our car, the bouncy castle for the kids party, an appointment at the dentist, the doctor, the vet for our pets, meeting rooms at a business centre, a session at the local health club, conference sessions at conferences, the table by the window in our favourite restaurant, etc.

Many companies make reservations, take bookings and manage customer appointments. To offer this service to customers across the internet has many advantages, it frees up staff, you never miss a call from a potential customer wanting to book a service, clubs and companies can take bookings when they are closed, 24 hours a day and for a doctor or dentist to fill that early morning cancelled appointment at 2am the night before when someone is on the internet has obvious advantages. However, online reservations systems are expensive, need specialised IT staff, need investments in computer equipment and take too long to implement when all people want to do is focus on the business they know and have that unique experience in - their business.

The ibooka system is an online booking system that all other kinds of organisations from golf clubs, through driving schools, squash clubs to conference centers, etc. control, it allows their customers to choose and select when the services they offer are available, from booking a golf tee time, a dentist appointment, a tennis court, a session at the gym or a conference suite to other services like when the wedding suite is available, a driving lesson or physiotherapy online. The customers can then book (and if selected, pay in full or a deposit directly to the company or organisation via credit/debit card) through the secure web site. The ibooka system can be configured so that people can book immediately or cannot book less than 1 hour, 24 hours, etc in advance and the club/company and the customer will get an email confirmation each time a customer does make a booking. All the users are registered, so the club/company will know who their users are and ibooka even checks that the users email is their real address. It is a great service and differentiator but best of all only costs a few pennies per booking and no other costs !

We have also had people take ibooka booking sites for special events, golf tournaments and promotion days in various locations around the world.


The independent international magazines IT-Director and IT-Analysis had a researcher investigate ibooka and they have this week published the following article.... http://www.it-director.com/article.php?articleid=12481.

As the article states, ibooka is a new concept in online reservations and booking. When customers sign up to ibooka they do not need to buy any more computer equipment, they do not need to be a computer expert, they get your own personal secure reservations web site that is easily configured, to look exactly like their existing web site and incorporated in their site through a simple link that ibooka provides, they don't need any IT operators, they can take payments for their services over the internet securely and they don't need to buy any software. In fact all of this is available on a trial basis that is free of live transaction fees and then after that there is just a very small fee for each transaction. Some of our customers cost justify and receive a return on investment on Ibooka within days or even hours. To trial ibooka the only cost is a small fee that simply covers the cost of ibooka hosting the booking site for up to 3 months while people try it out and although people can just sign up for this over the internet we also welcome calls to discuss this.

With ibooka there is no long term contract to sign up to. If people do not feel it is helping their business or that they are making additional money from the system, then simply stop using it and there are no more fees, liabilities or commitments.

The whole idea of ibooka is that it really is that simple, no catches, no restrictions and no barrier to small, medium and large business' being able to cost effectively provide an enhanced service and increase business.



In addition, there are two sides to ibooka, as well as being, we hope, one of the most useful and innovative products that people have told you about, it is also the classic home or side business opportunity, as ibooka is marketed by anybody who wants to become a sales agent. ibooka sales agents pay ibooka absolutely nothing, there is no cost or fees for them, they simply get a referral number and spend as little or as much time as they want telling people who take bookings about the system. Where do they find these people to tell ? by walking down their high street, by mentioning it when in the dentist, by looking in the yellow pages, in fact everywhere. Every time that an ibooka site does a booking a small percentage of the booking fee goes to the owner of the referral number used when the site was set up. So, ibooka is also the next generation on the side or part time business for stay at home mums, students, business people looking for that little extra, etc.



I hope that this has been of interest to you and hope that you will take a moment to review the ibooka web site at http://www.ibooka.com. It takes 5 minutes to go onto the ibooka web site and check out the "tour", the demos and the presentation.


If you would like to discuss this further or require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me by reply to this email or at the details below.

I look forward to hearing from you
Best regards
