The single largest feature request of anyone who uses appointments in an ERP system is often times appointment reminders. Most can see a direct cost benefit from that functionality. Here are some things to consider..
- If all of your clients use email, it's great, otherwise you have to designate email, text or phone... and that gets more complicated.
- If you are going to include text, you will either have to collect their cell phone carrier information or you will be paying a tiny fee for each reminder.
- Once people realize you have a great reminder system, they are less mindful themselves. If it ever fails, you will see that in your appointments.
- Some systems only send outbound reminders, others enable you to reply/confirm receipt. Being able to see the confirmations is a great tool.
- There are ways to manually and semi-automatically create reminder systems that work.
- If you don't have that many appointments per day, do it manually!?!? It isn't that hard...
