Nudging customers to book services and attend their ladies salon appointments
The goal of the project was to encourage customers to make bookings after calling & improve attendances of all bookings made.
01 —The Impact
The results, up front.
After a month of testing messages with customers we found that the offer messages had a 17% response rate and an 18% sale conversion on the responses. Going forward we will be optimising the offers and iterating. We found that the commitment device significantly decreased the cancellation rate by 13% . Increased Sales During the month of testing sales on average increased by 49%. Decreased cancellation rate During the month of testing cancellation rate decreased by 13%. Data to inform iteration Based off the data we have collected we can iterate our messaging to further improve results.
02 — The Challenge
