3. Congrats, people are texting your keyword! — You now have a subscriber list to send relevant info and promos to ongoing! You’ll start more sales conversations and keep leads moving down your funnel, when you let potential customers come to you using keywords.

2. Display your keyword everywhere to maximize on opt-ins. — Include an enticing offer, like “Text COOLING to get 20% off your next seasonal tune-up.”

1. Pick a word that matches your offer. — Make it clear to the customer what they're opting into, like "COUPON" to get discounts.

All of these SMS tactics lead to more kept appointments, more revenue, and more peace of mind.

✔️ 5. Message the pain points of missing an appointment. — For you and for them.

✔️ 4. Text the client what to expect during the appointment. — The more they know, the less likely they are to get cold feet.

✔️ 3. Include a link to reschedule. — If the client doesn't know they have the option to pick a different slot, they’ll outright no-show instead.

✔️ 2. Text clients a link to schedule their next appointment. — Let them choose the slot themselves, and they’ll pick one that actually works.

✔️ 1. Create text reminders. — Simple enough right? People need reminders, or they forget.

Missed appointments are money down the drain. But text messaging cuts now-shows by 50%. 📱 Want to see how? 👇 #customerengagement #appointment #scheduling #appointmentscheduling #textmessaging
