Consumer adoption measures the general public's affinity for web purchasing and scheduling of personal services in general, and for our application in general. Consumer adoption, as measured by individual consumer logins to schedule products and services of the businesses we serve, more than quadrupled in the past year.

You business's unique ID number is displayed at the end of the website address, giving you a unique website URL. This allows you to quickly copy the URL for your website without having to generate it from the Links & Shortcuts Screen. It also gives clients using your site a chance to easily copy/paste your MINDBODY site address.

MINDBODY provides a link generator that you can use to provide direct or pop up links from your website to your MINDBODY software. This enables you to share your class, workshop and appointment schedule with the public. Allowing your clients to book and purchase online reduces the load on your administrative staff allowing them to truly focus on the customer not the activity of taking their money and making their reservations for them.

Getting your clients online is as easy as 1-2-3.

Direct Links:

1. Select Toolbox => Setup => Links & Shortcuts.
2. Choose a schedule from the Select Tab dropdown list and copy the direct link into your website design.

Here is an example:

As long as the Schedule Date drop down list is set to use the current date, there is no need to update the links each week. It is also a good idea to incorporate links for each instructor, so clients can browse schedules of their favorite teachers.

1. Select Toolbox => Setup => Links & Shortcuts.
2. Choose Classes from the Select Tab dropdown list.
3. Choose a specific teacher from the Teacher drop down list  and copy the direct link into your website design.

Here is an example:

Elise is from San Diego, California and first came to the Valley Yoga Studio as a student at SDSU, from which she has an undergraduate degree in Business. She began a dedicated yoga practice in 2001 and 1 year later completed her teacher certification. She shares her love of yoga with all students at all levels. Click Here to view Elise's schedule.
