① Send reminders to your clients
¤ Send automated text and email
reminders, 2-way reminders have the
best effect.
¤ We’ve found the best combination of
reminders is:
An email reminder 4 days in advance.
A text reminder 2 hours in advance.
¤ Use an email reminder system that lets
clients add the appointment to their
own calendar easily.

② Track & Blacklist
¤ Track your no-shows so you can see who
your worst offenders are. Make sure it’s
easy to see a full history of attendance
by client.
¤ Then don’t let people with a history of
no-shows book the best slots. Or don’t
let them book at all without paying in
advance.
¤ If you track your no-shows you may be
able to spot other patterns. Are they
worse at certain times of day or season?

③ Make it easy for clients to reschedule
¤ Give clients an opportunity to reschedule
in advance. Some systems let you do this
automatically in reminders. Here’s an
example from a 10to8 email reminder
¤ If your client booked well in advance
chances are there personal availability
could have changed.
¤ Give them plenty of warning about the
opportunity to reschedule so it doesn’t
have a negative impact on your business.

¤ Make sure your clients are
aware of it before they book.
¤ If they book online, show them
the policy before they book.
¤ If you are taking bookings on
the phone, read it out to them.

meeting and then weekly afterwards, 10to8 has
automated this for me.

now have almost zero no-shows. Gone are the
