Automated customer loyalty program for SpaBooker


Cloud-based soſtware provider SpaBooker has launched a new product to help spas simplify customer loyalty and encourage repeat custom. Promote is an email program which sends


incentives based on each customer’s last visit to get them to rebook appointments. Pricing starts at US$25 (€18, £15) a month


and the program runs automatically and integrates with existing accounts. Josh McCarter, CEO of Booker, the


company behind SpaBooker, says: “We con- ducted early market testing with a select group of businesses, all of which saw sig- nificant increases in customer retention and in new bookings. In the first three months, we found that Promote generated an average of a 10x return on investment – it’s exciting to see how a single tool can make a business much more successful.” Details: http://lei.sr?a=M6c3F
