January might be over, but we’re determined to keep the momentum going. We’ve been hard at work to release new features that can help you work more efficiently so you can make 2020 your year.
Take a look at the new features and updates to the app to see how much more you can do — you’ll feel just as motivated as you did on January 1st!
Mobile app updates
We know you need to take care of business on the go. Now you can create, edit and send online contracts and proposals from the app. 🙌
These features were highly requested, and with good reason: being able to respond quickly to clients when you’re on the go gives you a professional edge.
Here’s what you can do with proposal software and contracts:
- Create new contracts and proposals
- Use a draft you started on desktop
- Countersign a contract
- Save a file as a new template
- Expire a contract or proposal
You can do more with online invoices too:
- Refund clients from the app
- Mark payments as paid by cash, check or other methods
- View payment receipts
- Send payment reminders
- Resend clients an invoice with changes you’ve made
Head over to the app to start sending the files you already love on desktop. Your templates are accessible on the app, and you have full editing capabilities.
Your brand first
The client portal is your space with your clients, so we’ve taken more steps towards white labeling what they see.
Below, you’ll see that we’ve removed the HoneyBook logo from any file headers (think invoices, proposals, etc.), and replaced the HoneyBook logo from the top left-hand corner of the portal page with yours.
Updates to the email signature
Your email signature is personal, so it’s important that you have flexibility in making it your own. In order to help make your email signature totally yours, we have updated our email signature tool.
Now you can:
- Align your image on the left, center or right side of the text
- Add multiple images to your signature
- Crop secondary images from within the builder
Head over to the email signature builder to create or customize your existing signature!
Pro tip of the month: Share a direct link to your contact form<br />
The HoneyBook contact form allows you to customize the layout and questions to match your brand and help you get the information you need upfront. It captures new inquiries in your pipeline automatically and sends you notifications so no one gets lost in your inbox.
So you can embed the form on your website, but how else can you get it in front of people?
Sometimes, the simplest answer is the best — just share a link. Your direct link is exactly that: a link that leads directly to your contact form, with no embedding required at all.
Start free trialHere are a few ways you can share your direct link:
- Have a website, but don’t want to deal with embedding code? Just use a simple button or another hyperlink to direct leads to the Direct Link version of your form.
- Got a big following on Facebook? Share the link on your Facebook Business page.
- Maybe you’re an Instagram star? Add the link in your bio with Linktree!
- At a trade show, conference, or just generally out and about? Pop the link open yourself, from any device, and have your leads fill it out on the spot.
- Big fan of digital marketing materials? Throw it in those!
- And, since emails are a forever favorite, you can always link to your form in marketing sends, in your email signature, and more.
Many HoneyBook members have opted for their direct link, and it has saved them hours of work. So don’t wait, grab your direct link and add it to wherever you get leads today!
