Genbook's "BookNow" Online-Scheduling Button Helps Health and Wellness Practices Turn Website Visits Into Booked

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, May 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
Massage therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists and other health and wellness
specialists are attracting new patients and saving precious time with help
from Genbook, the new tool for small businesses to take appointments online. In
recent
months Genbook's "BookNow" button, which provides the convenience of a 24/7
appointment booking, scheduling and email confirmation system, has continued its
rapid adoption by U.S. wellness practitioners, demonstrating a high demand for
an
onlineappointment booking and scheduling solution.

"Wellness specialists want to focus on growing their practice and on the
services they provide for their patients. They do not want to be bogged down by
appointment-scheduling phone tag," said Rody Moore, founder and CEO of
Genbook. "That is why our customers are thrilled to have an online tool that
helps grow their business while saving them time. Our 'BookNow' button is
free, easy to use, and can be implemented into any website."

In a study by Research USA, Inc. the vast majority of chiropractors, massage
therapists,
and alternative medicine professionals have websites where patients and
potential
patients can learn about the staff, become more educated on philosophies of the
practice, and review the services they offer. Now, Genbook helps these
practitioners capitalize on traffic to their sites by allowing them to
prominently display their "BookNow" button on their website, in emails,
Craigslist, and many other places on the web they may choose. Genbook
enables 24/7 appointment booking and eliminates phone tag with patients, which
often
interrupts service or results in lost bookings. Genbook also lets practices'
patients offer feedback, which can either be confidential or viewable as
testimonials.

"Getting set up on Genbook was ridiculously simple. My clients often comment
on
how much they love the online booking. They can see my availability online
and pick a time that works for them," said Charles Johnson of Praxis Healing
Arts, a wellness center located in Minneapolis, Minn. "Now, with Genbook, I can
work
from home more when I'm handling the business end of my business."

Genbook currently offers its services at two levels, Genbook Free and
GenbookStandard, which is priced at $39.95 per month. Genbook Standard offers
the
unlimited booking, scheduling, and email-update capabilities of Genbook Free,
while also allowing businesses to receive SMS text messaging appointment alerts,
automatically create a contact database and capture clients' credit card
information.
