Personal shoppers: video briefs for busy clients

Some clients don't have an hour to meet in a café before you shop for them, but they can spare twenty minutes on video at lunch. A short brief gets you their sizes, style and budget. With Book, clients book a video brief on your own booking page, and you book the shopping or delivery from your list.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations and prices are examples: set your own.

Open short video slots early in the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. A booked slot leaves your page. Send your video link by email: Book doesn't create video links.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email. Ask for sizes, the occasion, colours they love or avoid and a budget. Ask for photos of current favourites by email.

After the brief, book the shopping and a try-on visit yourself from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file. Add a note, such as "three outfits for the conference", so it shows in their calendar file.

Say in the description how returns of items they don't keep are handled, and by when.

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes and sends no reminders. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.

Book doesn't create video links, buy items, take payments or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field. See the guide on gift shopping before the holidays. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
