The Value of Appointment-Based Services: A Post Pandemic Behavior Requirement

The world has changed over the last 18 months – and many of the improved transactional changes are here to stay. Forced to adjust during the pandemic, customers have significantly shifted their behavior to online transactions when at home - shopping, banking, electronic communications, and telehealth – just to name a few. With a much more technology-driven mindset after adapting to a digital-focused existence, consumers now demand seamless digital experiences, including scheduling appointments online.

Online appointment scheduling is easier than ever, with 24/7/365 access to setting appointments based on user convenience. A full 35% of appointments are booked between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. Waiting in line is not an option for many consumers – nor is waiting on hold to schedule an appointment. Efficient scheduling allows a minimum of wait times – for both customers and service representatives.

_{Building Relationships Leads to More Positive Interactions}

As the world gets back to normal, customers continue to seek positive and engaging experiences, including those that require face-to-face interactions. The ability to set appointments with specific individuals will allow relationships to grow, build over time, and establish trust – which leads to improved experiences, positive interactions, and organizational growth.

_{Accelerate Business Growth with Ease of Appointment Scheduling}

While foot traffic has decreased for bank transactions that can quickly happen online such as bank deposits or account updates, higher-level services such as financial advising assistance will continue to occur in bank branches, requiring an appointment. Self-scheduling an appointment is convenient but also a positive strategy for growth. Recent financial institution data shows a 90% increase in new account growth, thanks to strong customer engagement during scheduled appointments.
