Protect your business from no-shows
With so much on our minds every day, it can be hard to remember everything we need to do! It’s the same with your clients; if you’re not reminding them of the time and date of their appointment 1 – 2 days beforehand, they might not show up! Reminder and Confirmation messages are a great way to protect your business from those naughty no-shows, and make sure you’re not out of pocket for those missed appointments.
“No-shows are really detrimental to the salon; not only can the business lose income, it can cause your team to not make sales targets and miss out on commission.” Larissa Macleman

Let your clients manage their appointments
Timely’s Client Login feature helps you save hours you’d normally spend manually making changes to appointments if clients need to change the date or time, and it’s great for your clients because they have the freedom to manage their upcoming bookings themselves. They can also use it to easily rebook the same services they’ve had in the past (if you allow it), without having to get on the phone 👌
As well as saving you precious time, Client Login helps you keep your important client data up to date, because they can use it to update their address and any other information that changes.
“I surveyed all incoming phone calls and 50% of them were reschedules of existing appointments! By giving your client access to Client Login, you give them more independence and you save yourself hours each week.” Larissa Macleman
