We recommend that you include both 'Book online' and 'Buy vouchers' on your website.
 

Email 

Add a clear call-to-action to your emails directing your clients to your Online Booking site or to purchase an online voucher with a button. We recommend using your brand colour to style the button so it really stands out.
