If you are a service provider or a small business, it is more likely that you will have more first time customers than recurring customers. Customers who want to avail your services for the first time may get confused or annoyed, when you present them a scattered catalogue of products and services.<\/p>\n<p>Your customers want to book appointments for the services they want, so why not make it easier for them by organizing your services or offerings into relevant and meaningful categories. Not only this helps you to systematically arrange your services, it also saves time and extra clicks.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how you can organize your services into meaningful categories:<\/p>\n<p>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/my.setmore.com\/\">Login<\/a> to <span class=\"GRcorrect\">your<\/span> <span class=\"GRcorrect\">SetMore<\/span> Account and click on \u201cSettings\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-32896083975\" alt=\"SetMore settings enables you to organize the booking page\" src=\"https:\/\/www.setmore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/setting-setmore-homepage.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"255\" \/><br \/>\n2.

On the service page, click on \u201cNew Category\u201d and start making categories for your services.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-32896083977\" alt=\"Add new category for your services\" src=\"https:\/\/www.setmore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/add-service-category.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" \/><br \/>\n4. Fill the \u201cCategory Name\u201d and click on the \u201cAdd category\u201d button to confirm it.
