Tips for Success
Every message should have a clear purpose and a single call-to-action. Do not overload clients with information.
Use the client's first name in every message. Personalized communication has 26% higher open rates.
Keep SMS messages under 160 characters to avoid segment splitting and extra charges.
Set communication preferences during onboarding and respect them. Some clients prefer email only.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many messages per appointment cycle is appropriate?
Five is a good limit: confirmation, 2-3 reminders, thank-you, and a follow-up. Add review request for returning clients.
Should I use email or SMS?
Both. Email for detailed information (confirmations, receipts) and SMS for time-sensitive nudges (reminders, last-minute changes).
Can clients opt out of marketing messages but keep reminders?
Yes. Separate transactional messages (confirmations, reminders) from marketing messages so clients can opt out of promotions independently.
