Move clients from DMs and paper

Get regulars booking online without losing anyone, and bring your client list across.

The aim is simple: every client books through your link, and you stop answering "any space Thursday?" at 11pm.

  1. 1Before you tell anyone, add your services, hours and any appointments already booked, so the diary is right.
  2. 2Book your regulars' next appointments into the calendar yourself. Add their email so they get confirmations and reminders.
  3. 3Send your regulars a short message with the link, for example: "I've moved to online booking, so you can see my free times and book any time: [your link]".
  4. 4For a few weeks, reply to booking DMs with the link instead of booking them yourself.
  5. 5Update your Instagram bio, Google listing and highlights. See Get your first 10 bookings.

Leaving another booking system?

Ask your old provider for your client list. Our client list request letter makes that easy, and under UK GDPR you're entitled to it. On the Paid and Paid Plus plans, we'll set up your services and bring your clients across for you, free. Email support@slotivo.co.uk.

Tip: Clients create their account the first time they book, so there's no need to make accounts for them.
