Confirming appointments is one of the most important and yet often overlooked tasks to ensure your business is as profitable as possible. Confirming all your appointments can dramatically reduce no-shows, allowing you to book other clients and increase each employee’s productivity. Seriously though, who has the time to call and try to contact all your appointments?

Email confirmations were supposed to make this process easier but with all the “spam” floating around, an email sent to a client to confirm their appointment only has about a 10% chance of ever getting to them. However, statistics show that 96% of text messages will be read. This is where Insight two-way SMS Text Messaging can save you time and virtually eliminate no-shows.

With one click of a button, Insight can send text messages to ask clients to confirm their appointments. The client will receive a message indicating the date and time of the appointment and the service they are booked for and given options to reply in order to confirm or cancel their appointment. For just a few cents per message you can have all your appointments confirmed within a matter of minutes. The benefits of using Insight SMS include:
