Reducing No-Shows With Smarter Reminders
A practical breakdown of how timing and channel choice can reduce no-shows in service businesses.
No-shows are often a communication problem rather than a customer quality problem.
When reminders are sent too early, customers forget. When they are sent too late, customers do not have enough time to adjust their plans.
At Rezentra, we typically see the best outcomes when businesses combine:
- a confirmation message immediately after booking
- a reminder 24 hours before the appointment
- a final reminder 2 hours before the appointment
Start with this baseline, measure outcomes for two weeks, then adjust by service type.
