With 11pets: Groomer you can offer electronic appointments for your salon. Your customers can request an appointment with you through the 11pets: Pet Care app and you can accept it, reschedule it or reject it. The system will automatically take care of everything else and remind the customer on multiple occasions (a week before the appointment, 3 days prior and the same day). You will also know the reaction of your customer to these reminders, that is whether they confirmed the appointment or ignored the reminder.
With the electronic appointments of 11pets you will save valuable time as all the book-keeping activities (reminders, verification, pickup notifications etc.) are handled automatically by the system.
How to offer electronic appointments
To offer electronic appointments you need to setup your public profile and define the opening hours of your salon. Then, your salon will be visible to tens of thousands of users of the 11pets: Pet Care app which will help you attract additional customers.
Setup your public profile
For your customers to be able to find your salon you first need to make the profile of your salon public. The tutorial that follows explains how to setup your public profile.
Define your opening hours
The second step is to define the opening hours of your salon, that is, the timeframe during which the customers can request an appointment with you. Remember that you do not always have to accept the time requested by a customer, you can always propose a different time or even reject it. The tutorial that follows explains every step.
Handle an appointment request
When a customer requests an appointment with you, you will receive a notification on your device with the details of the customer, information about the pet, the service and the time requested. There are three different ways to reply to this request.
- Accept the request: If you want to accept the request as is, tap the “Accept” button. The system will notify the customer and the corresponding entry will be created in your schedule automatically.
- Propose a new time: If you want to propose a new time, tap the “Reschedule” button. The system will notify your customer with the proposed time. The customer can accept it or make a new request. When the customer responds, you will receive a notification on your device.
- Reject: If you do not want to accept the request, tap the “Reject” button. The system will delete the request and notify the customer. If you want, you can also include a message explaining the reason.
The tutorial that follows explains how to handle the requests for appointments.
