Never let your clients see you sweat

Being busy can be a great thing— until it gets in the way of growing your business. Whether you’re in the middle of laminating brows to perfection or on the phone with a customer curious about your latest facial package promo, missing a phone call can happen. And you aren’t alone!

Businesses miss 25% of all calls1, half of which are during business hours—but an astounding 85% of people who call your business and don’t reach you will never call back.2 Yikes! Don’t let missed calls turn into missed opportunities. Let Mindbody’s Messenger[ai] automatically follow up with callers via text to help them out.

Pro tip: Showcase your text-enabled number clearly on your website and social media to encourage people to engage with your business in a simple, streamlined way.

5 ways to use AI to connect with clients between visits

  1. Check in before customers’ first appointments: Whether it’s their first visit to a salon or spa or the first time coming to your business or location, make them feel welcome before they even come in the door. Reach out to let clients know what to expect and answer questions they may have.
  2. Follow up with friendliness. Thank your clients for coming in and ask how their experience was. This is a great way to solicit feedback and help them set up their next appointment.
  3. Provide product info and recs. Does your biz sell merchandise? Let your customers know what you have in-store. Plus, send them reminders of products used in their most recent appointment and tips on how to use them at home.
  4. Send snapshots of exciting promos. Promote special events, new services, holiday specials, staff highlights, and more by texting clients images, PDFs, and docs.
  5. Keep things real and relaxed. Don’t stress out customers with message overload. Use this channel to add value while keeping things personalized, authentic, and fun. Don’t forget the GIFs and emojis to bring your brand voice to life!
