Genbook Announces New Channel-Partner Program for Web Developers

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN FRANCISCO, CA, July 7 / MARKET WIRE/ --

Genbook, the category-leading company
delivering Web 2.0 appointments to small businesses, today announced the
launch of its channel-partner program for website developers. The new
partnership program helps web developers deliver appointment generating and
scheduling functionality to their clients, turning website visitors into
booked appointments. The program is also designed to allow web developers
to participate in Genbook's generous revenue-sharing agreement.

"We want to give website developers a compelling incentive to discover the
best online booking and scheduling service available on the Internet," said
Genbook CEO Rody Moore. "Online scheduling starts as a simple form-based
solution but quickly scales into a full-blown, complex application. Genbook
is a turnkey solution that eliminates all programming needs and it is as
simple as adding a BookNow! button on a website. Service businesses can
put that same BookNow! button in display ads, social networks, online
classifieds -- any place they can paste a small tag."

Genbook lets web developers integrate a state-of-the-art Web 2.0
appointment-scheduling solution on any website in a matter of minutes.
Through Genbook, small-business service providers -- from mainstream and
alternative medicine to massage therapists, spas, even accountants and
lawyers -- are now offering their clients a way to book services online
24/7, erasing the hassles and lost appointments that commonly result from
phone tag and scheduling confusions.

"Genbook enables my team to offer appointments functionality as an added
value to our web design services. Our clients get a great service and we
get the benefit of a stronger client relationship," said David Fields,
Co-Owner of Think Brilliant Media Studios. "I have been offering Genbook to
my clients without any financial reward. This program makes it even
better."

The BookNow! button, which links to a calendar for clients to book
appointments, can be integrated into any website without any cost to the
small business. Genbook Free also includes email alerts, customer feedback
forms, and other customizable features. An optional upgrade to Genbook
Standard, which includes a longer scheduling horizon, SMS alerts, iCal
integration, customer credit card capture, and a client database, is $39.95

per month. Web developers will receive five dollars for each Genbook Free
account they create. When their clients choose to upgrade to Genbook
Standard, they will receive $40 plus an additional 15 percent of ongoing
revenue through the first year.

"Until now, web developers were only able to offer displayware to their
service-provider clients who wanted a website," Moore continued. "With
Genbook, developers enable their clients to finally participate in real
e-commerce and harness the power of the Web to transform their businesses."
