SMS Marketing with Top Salon Software - How to Do It

1/26/2017

 

Text messages have the highest open rate out of all marketing channels. More than 90% of messages are opened in the first couple of minutes after being received.

Is email marketing or social media not bringing good enough results for your salon? Then you should give SMS marketing a try and integrate it with top salon software.

Even though people are not texting that often, instead they use chatting apps, mobile users are still opening their text messages.

Use this to your advantage by growing your business, keeping your clients happy and loyal.

Here are our best tips for using SMS marketing. 

1. Reminders

Sending your clients an SMS which will remind them about their upcoming appointment will make their life easier. And yours as well.

You will not only reduce no-shows, but you will also be able to fill in any gaps if clients cancel appointments.

At the same time, you can remind your clients to book an appointment with your salon. It's important not to send them too soon, or they'll think you're pushy. It's recommended to wait a few weeks until you send them this SMS.

2. Birthdays

Everyone wants to look good and be spoiled for their birthday. With top salon software, you can keep track of your clients' birthdays and send them something special for this day.

Don't wait until the actual birthday date. Instead, send the SMS a few days in advance so that they can actually take advantage of the offer you've prepared for them.

Sending them a message with a sincere wish is just as good.

3. Salon News

If your salon has a special program during the holidays, then it's best to let your clients know about this. Not everyone will check out your Facebook page to see whether you're open or not so keep your clients informed with a simple SMS.

Another great thing you can do with top salon software is to send promotions. However, don't send out text messages in bulk. Otherwise, people will consider it spam.

Filter your most responsive clients and send only to a designated target an offer which will cater to their needs. The limited availability of the offer should be presented clearly to entice clients to act on it.

4. Fill Empty Slots

Clients will cancel appointments on the last minute. It happens. While you can't avoid this, you can, however, fill these empty slots by simply sending an SMS.

Target those particular clients who expressed their interest in booking an appointment in the past couple of weeks or so.

You can also send out an SMS to clients who haven't paid you a visit in quite some time. If you're lucky, you can reactivate them, especially if you give them a significant discount as well.

Top Salon Software and SMS Marketing Go Hand in Hand

If you've never tried SMS marketing before, then we recommend you to do it and see what you think.
