Client Background
The client is a multi-service salon in Ahmedabad.
Most customers contacted the team on WhatsApp after seeing Instagram posts or Google profile reviews.
The team was getting many messages, but response was not consistent.
Many interested users dropped before booking.
Challenges
Before the new system, the salon faced simple but costly issues:
- No fixed first reply message
- Slow response during peak hours
- No reminder flow before appointment time
- No clean lead tracking by service type
- Team could not see how many chats became bookings
The business had demand, but no proper follow-up process.
Strategy
We built a practical WhatsApp booking system for daily salon operations.
Quick Reply Templates
We created approved reply templates for haircut, hair spa, bridal, and skin services.
Lead Tag and Owner Rules
Each incoming chat was tagged by service interest and assigned to a team member.
Reminder Workflow
Customers received reminder messages before the appointment and follow-up after visit.
