Availability Calendar?
Can anyone tell me where I can find one of these to add to my site?
Thanks! |

Just googled your question. I thought of doing this as well, but sometimes I get referrals off of people who call me and I'm booked for. I don't like to thrwart the contact. :} |
I googled it too and could only find the ones that display the entire calendar. I'm looking for the one that comes back with a "yes" or "no" answer.

Ahhh, well, if you can't find it, I bet you can have someone program one for you. It shouldn't be that expensive.

I would suggest NOT doing one for a variety of reasons.
1. Like mentioned above, do you want your competitors to know what you're up to? 2. Potential clients may not call. 3. It looks bad if you don't have anything booked. People will ask themselves "WHY" does this person not have all these things going on? Are they not any good? 4. You want to look and sound as big time as possible, without lying to your client. This won't help your case. 5. It's not professional. I don't see how this would help you unless you're an event center or something. You being booked or you not being booked can both be bad things in your customer's eyes. What if your customer has a flexible date? Or there is something that you can help them with later? The customer interaction is very important. Even if you are booked, and you were nice to them, they may call for something else. Them seeing you're booked on a website gives you nothing. |

Why would you want to put a cheesy calendar up? I think it's totally cheesy, and completely unnecessary. Who cares if it limits how many times it checks?
I will say it again. It's not professional. IMHO Why in the world would you not want the client to call you? This business is a sales and service business. Most people are not going to just fork over their thousand + dollars to you just because they see that you have an opening on your calendar. I know I wouldn't. You want them to call, whether you are booked or not. We do school and corporate events - Never done a wedding video in my life. But of all the wedding video websites I've seen, not one has had a calendar. If I did, I would probably skip to the next one anyways. |

So then, are you offering people hotel rooms? Finding a hotel and videographer are two very different things. Quote:

And remember... the original poster asked "where" to get a calendar system for his site and it was you who decided to extoll the virtues of even having one in the first place. And FWIW I've even seen those full page calendars you keep mentioning with about 70% of their available dates booked. (Mainly DJ's though). This just tells me they're busy and therefore good at what they do. Cetainly nothing wrong with telling the world that. |
Cool. Thumbs up buddy. Best of luck with that.
