About
Owning your own facility can be fun. However, it must be treated as a business in order to succeed. Reservation no-shows, scheduling errors, disorganization, and employee skimming will result in significant financial losses, endangering your ability to remain in business. AmericanPastime.com™ has been created to combat the issues that sports training facilities face, using today's available technologies and current customer purchasing trends.
Reservations Made 24/7 - In today's economy you can't afford to miss a reservation. Enable your customers to make their own reservations from home, office, Smartphone or anywhere they have access to the Internet. No more after-hour phone calls to your personal mobile, or scrambling into the facility early to take calls for reservations. Your online reservation desk is now open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even while you're closed.
Generate Additional Sales - Now that you are open 24 hours a day, your facility can generate additional sales even during off hours that you would normally miss. Sure, your clients could call back during business hours, but many of them will get busy, or fill their schedule with other activities instead.
Maximize Your Usage - Online reservations create a sense of urgency. As your customers see your facility space fill up, this creates an urgency to make their appointments before they are all gone. Online reservations allows those extra availability time slots to book, maximizing the use of your facility.
Avoid Scheduling Errors - With AmericanPastime.com™, your customers make their own reservations, receive email confirmations and receipts with the reservation dates and scheduled start times. Once logging in to your site, you'll know the exact facility schedule in real-time, so everyone is on the same page.
Paid in Advance/No-Shows/Employee Skimming - Electronic commerce allows your facility time slots to be purchased in advance. Receive payments at the time of booking, not at the schedule appointment time. Not only does this help with your cash flow, it deters customer no-shows and employee theft, since money is collected electronically and deposited directly into your account.
Manage Facility/ Customers - Manage your facility in real-time. Log in and view your schedule exactly as it really is after customers make reservations. Move and cancel reservations for customers. Block off facility space, change availability, update prices and more with a few simple clicks.
Code Promotions - Set up special promotion codes for memberships, specific customers, teams, times, dates or even certain months of the year. Customers simply input the code, and it will allow the special discount or promotions that you have set-up for them. A great way to promote specials during the off-peak season!
It's Affordable - No need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on customized software, and wait up to 12 months for completion, for a product that may, or may not work. With AmericanPastime.com™, you can get started right away using a proven turn-key method of operations, and get back to the business of running your business. Software usage fees are easily affordable flat subscription rates, regardless of transactions. Subscriptions for a complete system are $99.95 per month, actually paid for by sales generated from the software itself....that means no risks and no worries!
Software Training/ Upgrades - Your assigned Account Manager will provide a complete comprehensive training course, and help get you up and actively running with your new site. Upgrades will be provided free of charge as innovations in technologies and enhancements become available, complimentary via E-ComWorks®.
How it Works - There are basically two separate processes that collaborate. There is the Customer Process which are the steps your customer takes to make a reservation, and the Administrator Process which are the steps to set up your stations, instructors' names, prices, etc. and to set your availability.
