Between managing your team’s time and clients’ changing schedules, chances are your salon’s diary has a lot of moving parts. And since time is money, you’ll want to maximise every single day with minimal room for error.
If you’re constantly trying to manage your marketing, your clients and your schedule across several platforms, good news: you don’t have to. With Fresha’s marketplace and booking software for salons, everything’s in one place, from your marketing to your payments and scheduling. That means you can spend less time on admin and focus on growing your business. Best of all: it’s subscription free.
Read on to find out how Fresha can help you and your team manage your salon’s busy schedule.
Stay on top of your schedule anytime, anywhere
Your calendar is one of your most important tools, so you should be able to access it whenever and however you need. When you use Fresha’s scheduling software, every feature within the calendar is unlimited: team members, locations, clients, bookings, inventory and reporting. Everyone from the owner to the most junior staff member can use their login to access to it on any device with an internet connection. Since Fresha is so easy to use, everyone will know exactly what their schedules look like – it’s not just the business owner who’s in control.
You can also sync your Fresha schedule to your personal calendar and view all your commitments in one place. And your clients can see your availability and book an appointment, 24/7. All their appointment information connects in real time to your Fresha account, and any notifications you’ve set up will be automatically triggered. You can set up requests for upfront payments when they book, and if a client hasn’t paid yet, you can send them a reminder in one click.
Get more value out of your time with less effort
To help clients better manage their schedules, you can let them book several months in advance, and also allow them to reschedule up to 24 hours in advance of their appointment. These settings will also help you plan for busy seasons and staff holidays, and minimise no-shows.
When you’ve got your online schedule up and running with Fresha, you’ll be able to list your salon on our online marketplace where we’ve processed more than 700 million bookings to date. So when potential new clients are searching for treatments online in your area, your salon will show up.
Delight clients from start to finish
Using Fresha’s all-in-one software means you can treat your clients to a smooth, simple booking experience. You can keep in touch with them via automatic appointment notifications, and send thank you messages following their appointments.
You can also encourage clients to book available appointment slots with offers, discounts and dynamic pricing. Applying off-peak pricing to slots that fall during quieter periods in your salon encourages flexibility when your clients are booking, and it can fill space left behind by last-minute cancellations.
Stay in the know with your reports
A big part of growing your business is having a clear picture of your salon’s performance. Fresha’s reporting tools can help with that. Not only can you generate marketing reports, but you can view sales and service reports based on your scheduling data to spot trends at your salon.
Those reports track every sale you make, as well as every service your clients book. You can identify the most popular treatments, what times tend to be the busiest, who on your team is booked more frequently, and who is generating the most revenue. All that information can help you make important business decisions about staffing, resources and scheduling.
Get the most from Fresha’s complete ecosystem
With scheduling software, marketing tools and payment processing, everything you need to seamlessly run your salon is built into the Fresha platform. You won’t need any other system or subscription to attract new clients, maintain relationships with your current ones, and achieve your business goals.
