The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a new reality of social distancing. And as governments slowly make the decision to open up aspects of society - social distancing will continue to remain a cornerstone of our new normal. Small businesses will re-open, but with new measures in place. Online appointment booking is a great way for your SMB clients to offer alternatives that support social distancing, such as private appointments, online consultation calls, booking of services and more.
