Full chairs, loyal customers

01 · BACKGROUND

The Problem

In the four-chair salon, appointments regularly went unfilled because customers had forgotten them. In addition, many regulars didn't book a follow-up appointment after their haircut. They got in touch weeks later, when the calendar was already full, or went elsewhere.

02 · SOLUTION

How SMS Solves the Problem

The salon manages its appointments in Google Calendar and appends the customer's mobile number with a # sign. A reminder is sent automatically the day before. In addition, at checkout the team creates a placeholder entry five weeks out: the SMS for it offers the customer a new appointment, which they simply confirm by replying via SMS.

The Benefits

BENEFIT 01

Fewer no-shows

Customers are reminded the day before and arrive on time. Those who can't make it cancel in good time, and the slot is rebooked.
BENEFIT 02

Customers become regulars

The appointment offer arrives exactly when the next haircut is due. Many customers book right away by replying, instead of putting it off.
BENEFIT 03

No new software

Everything runs through Google Calendar, which the team already uses. There's no base fee; you only pay per SMS.
