Post #4/5 Scheduling

Scheduling

​Scheduling an appointment with me is extremely easy! You can click on the “BOOK NOW” link at the top of this page or access it by one of these methods:

• My website: www.thejoyofsewingservice.com (has a floating button on each page)
• Quick Access link: www.meetme.so/joypelt
• Secure Quick Access link: https://secure.scheduleonce.com/JoyPelt

All these methods will take you directly to my calendar so you can conveniently schedule your own appointment. Click on Service needed which in this case would be “ALTERATIONS – FORMAL” for a      30-minute appointment. Dresses with issues or concerns may need the “ALTERATIONS – EXTENDED” for a 45-minute appointment. When scheduling for these appointments please “Read More” under the description of the service as this outlines when you need to secure an appointment by and you know my availability.
I offer appointments Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays only on a first book, first serve basis through this scheduler. Why? I need the other days to get the work done in a timely manner plus this scheduler helps me maintain balance and reminds you of your appointments. ALL SCHEDULING IS DONE ONLINE!!!

There is an added feature that allows for you to be on a LAST MINUTE WAITING LIST (LMWL), if elected. Keep in mind LAST MINUTE is different than RESCHEDULING your own appointment?

For the LAST MINUTE WAITING LIST feature you must have an appointment scheduled to use this as I no longer keep a regular waiting list. Why? I would rather have more time assisting customers with alterations than keeping track of a regular waiting list, when my scheduler can do that for me. Please be sure to check either box that is most convenient and understand that you must respond in 1 hour as the next person on the list will be contacted. You will remain on the list until you have accepting a sooner appointment or your currently scheduled appointment comes up.
            What are those boxes?

• PHONE… you must respond in 1 hour as the next customer on the list will be offered the opportunity.
• FACEBOOK… you must respond in 1 hour as the next customer on the list will be offered the opportunity.

For RESCHEDULING/Cancellation: My scheduler is set up so that my customers have control over their appointment. In the event, you have a conflict you can re-schedule your appointment on your own, based on availability, if more than 24 hours in advance. (FYI: Bridal Consultation appointments are 48 hours.) Your old appointment becomes immediately available for the next customer once you reschedule/cancel. (Please keep in mind once you give up your appointment it may not be there if you change your mind.)

SINCE my Scheduler offers these flexible options, I no longer keep a regular waiting list as customers can reschedule/cancel anytime of the day or night. My Focus is providing a high quality of service in a timely manner and offering appointments through the convenience of online-scheduling that respects everyone’s time.
In using the “LMWL” feature you must understand and agree that after 1 hour your offer will expire as the next customer on the list will be offered the opportunity, but you will remain on the list until you have accepted a future cancellation/last minute appointment or your tentative/current appointment comes up.
Keep in mind this list will come into play when someone reschedules/cancels with less than 24 hours’ notice. My recommendation is to keep a close eye on your phone and Facebook.
In the event, you have a question or concern about your dress I recommend scheduling an appointment while you await my return call to get the earliest appointment possible. Why? I do book in advance and will share this in my FINAL HINTS.
