The Hidden Cost of No-Shows
No-shows cost service businesses an average of $62,000 per year. For small businesses, this can mean the difference between profit and loss.
Why Voice Reminders Work Better
While text reminders have a 90% open rate, voice calls have a 96% answer rate and create a stronger commitment to show up. The personal touch of a voice, even if AI-generated, significantly impacts customer behavior.
Optimal Reminder Schedule
- 48 hours before: Initial confirmation call
- 24 hours before: Reminder with rescheduling option
- 2 hours before: Final reminder for same-day impact
