What it was costing
The problem
Leads were coming in, but a third of the budget went to ads that never produced a booking, and every lead waited for someone to call them back. Text reminders were blocked, so booked clients were not showing up.
48% more booked appointments from ads, at 22% less per booking
The salon now spends its ad budget only on offers that fill chairs, books leads in minutes instead of the next day, and loses fewer of them to no-shows.
