Before you start
Pick one person to own the switch. Agree a date after which every new booking goes into Plainbooking, even ones taken by phone.
Week plan
- Day 1: add your venue details and invite the people who take bookings.
- Day 2: block the dates you already know are closed.
- Day 3: add upcoming bookings from your diary as staff bookings.
- Day 4: put the booking link on your website and social profiles.
- Day 5 onwards: answer phone and email enquiries by entering them, or by sending the link.
Keep the old diary for a fortnight
Keep the old notebook or inbox for two weeks as a check. After that, the shared diary is the only place bookings live.
