# Prebooking Appointments w/ Video ►

Encourage clients to book their next appointment before leaving. Insure they’ll get the date and time that works for them, especially in very busy salons or during holiday periods!

* No matter *how* a client is scheduled for their next appointment, as long as they scheduled within the same day they came in for another appointment, that future appointment will count as "Prebooked"

## #1 - Schedule the client's next appointment on the Schedule per usual
