Email Appointment Reminders

Many business that rely on customer appointments share one big problem: No Shows. When customers/clients fail to keep their appointments, your business or practice might waste valuable time tracking them down. Or worse, you might simply forfeit that hour of business and the revenue it was intended to bring in. When you email appointment reminders you can help your bottom line and production.  

Because of no-shows…

  • Will you wait just ten more minutes for your customer to turn up and waste your time?
  • Will your previously scheduled customer come in late and throw off the whole schedule for the rest of the day?
  • Do you or your staff know what to say to late clients?
  • Will your waiting customers demand more effective treatment of their time and become upset with your services?
  • When a customer misses the appointment was there another customer put on the waiting list who would have turned up? Will this customer go to a competitor?
  • Will you look unprofessional?

Calling customers to remind them of their appointments can be time consuming and stressful. That’s why email reminders are so popular. They save your business time and money and most importantly, they help get people in the door.

If you’re struggling to come up with the perfect language to include in your reminder message, we’ve got you covered. We’ve created a list of Appointment Reminders email template samples, one of which is sure to fit your business or practice’s style.

3 Benefits for Email Reminders

When sending emails with Appointment Reminders you can  add your logo, branding colors, company name and number and other custom fields to your email reminders.  Allow your customers to confirm appointments by pressing buttons in your email. Our emails are readable in most email programs and configured to avoid spam filters.

1. Customize your Email Reminders

Our email reminders allow you to include all of you own content as well as custom fields such as appointment date & time, customer name, company name, address, and phone number. You can also include custom fields in email reminders such as room numbers, amounts due, arrival details and more! The content can be specified and is entirely customizable. Just like with all of our appointment reminder types. As with all of our reminders, you can send the email reminders out in relation to the appointment. For example, 1 week before & 1 day before. Or even a day or 2 after the appointment (to get feedback on the appointment). 

2. Send your Email Reminder at the appropriate time

Our email reminders allow you to schedule them at the appropriate time or trigger them to be sent multiple times. You can also trigger them when an event happens such as a text message failure or call failure. For example, you can send an email reminder a week ahead of the appointment and then another on the day before the appointment.  You can also change the email reminder content based on the customer or patients reply to the initial reminder.  Say the customer or patient confirms the appointment using the reminder you send out one week prior. In this case, you may want to just give them a friendly reminder the day before, rather than asking for another confirmation.

3. Brand your Email Reminders

Brand the look and feel of your email reminders by adding a border and your logo as well as your company address and phone number. Not only does this increase your brand recognition, but it also adds to the customer experience by looking more professional and authentic. Your patients or customers will feel confident that the email reminder is originating from your office and will be more likely to open it and reply to it.
