Customers and clients not showing up to your appointment can be one of the most detrimental things that happens to your business. Not only do you lose business and potential revenue, but you also risk scheduling conflicts that affect everyone else you are trying to serve or care for. In short - missing appointments can hurt everybody involved in your business, customers and employees alike.

One of the easiest ways to prevent appointment cancellations or delays is to use SMS texting in order to set up appointment reminders. After setting up appointment reminder messages once, you can create it so that our software at Trumpia automates the reminders for you, freeing up your time and mental space. And you can rest assured that after scheduling an appointment with your client, they will be constantly reminded about it until the actual date. Luckily, with Trumpia’s intuitive automation system, you can set the interval, frequency, and more when it comes to scheduling your messages beforehand. 

When creating appointment reminders, make sure that you start by setting a messaging template. Trumpia allows you to pre save message drafts and templates so that you can pull it up very quickly. Here are some things that you need to include in your templates:

• Company Name
• Appointment date, time, and location
• Ability to confirm or reschedule appointment

After creating your message, all you need to do is to set up the interval and you are done! We highly recommend integrating SMS texting with your scheduling needs also because you are able to receive text messages back from your subscribers. Therefore, if your subscriber ever needs to reschedule or change their meeting time with you, they can simply reply “Yes,” or “No,” when they are asked to confirm their appointment. This can then prompt someone from your team to reschedule with them.

The reality is, people forget about important meetings and appointments all the time, especially if they are not the most organized people. Help keep your subscribers and clients on track by helping them remember these important information.
