WhatsApp reminders for salons
Updated:
A salon usually needs two kinds of message: one to confirm tomorrow's bookings, and one to invite a client back when their next visit is due. Both are easy to forget on a busy day, so schedule them when the client is in front of you.
Confirm the day before
Schedule the confirmation when you make the booking, for a time when the salon's computer will be on. If a client can't make it, you still have time to offer the slot to someone else.
Hi {name}! Just confirming your appointment tomorrow at 10 AM. Does that still work for you?
Invite clients back at the right time
When a client leaves, set a follow-up date based on the service, such as when their color or cut will need attention. The Follow-ups screen shows who's due, so nobody gets forgotten.
Hi {name}! It's been about a month since your last cut. Would you like me to save you a time this week?
Keep clients in stages you name
A simple board might use New, Regular and Time to come back. Name the stages your way, add notes such as the color they use, and drag each client along.
Keep it personal
Write to people who already know you and agreed to hear from you, and send only what's useful to them. Don't send the same promotion to your whole client list. BetterZap has no broadcast feature, and mass messages are what get numbers reported.
Before you rely on this
- BetterZap sends only while Chrome is open and WhatsApp Web is connected. If the computer is off at the scheduled time, nothing goes out, and the message shows as Late until you decide what to do.
- It's made for one message to one person. Only message people who agreed to hear from you.
Try it on your own number
BetterZap is free for up to 20 messages a day, and your contacts stay in your browser.
