Estimate based on a conservative assumption: automatic reminders reduce no-shows by 30%. Actual results depend on your clients, industry and cancellation policy.

How the calculation works

  1. Missed appointments per week = appointments per week × no-show rate.
  2. Annual loss = missed appointments per week × average price × 52 weeks; the monthly loss is the annual loss divided by 12.
  3. Estimated recovery = 30% of the annual loss. It is a conservative assumption, not a promise: the real effect of reminders varies from business to business.

How to reduce no-shows

  • Automatic reminders

    ZenBookr sends email and push reminders before every appointment, with no manual work.

  • One-tap WhatsApp

    For clients who tend to forget, a personal WhatsApp message is one tap away.

  • Deposits for long services

    For long or expensive treatments you can ask for a deposit when the client books.
