How to Win Back Clients with Re-Engagement Campaigns

 
 
 
 

We all love seeing our regulars walk through the door- but what about the clients who disappear without a trace?

The truth is, even your most loyal customers can drift away due to life, schedules, or simply forgetting to rebook. That’s where re-engagement campaigns come in.

If you’ve noticed clients who haven’t booked in the last 3 months, it’s time to bring them back, and Salon Tracker makes it easier than ever.

 

Why Clients Disappear (And How to Bring Them Back)

People get busy. They move, they change jobs, or they simply forget to rebook. A well-timed message reminding them of your services (and how good they felt after their last visit!) can be all it takes to rekindle the relationship.

Re-engagement campaigns are proven to:

  •  Increase client retention
  •  Boost bookings during slower weeks
  •  Strengthen your brand’s presence

 

Use Email & SMS to Re-Target Lapsed Clients

With Salon Tracker’s built-in marketing tools, you can easily target clients who haven’t booked in 3 months. Just head over to the Marketing tab and filter your audience by select ‘Appointment Not Booked’ and select the dates to be over the past 3 months.

From there, you can launch a smart, targeted message via email (using Mailchimp) or SMS (using credits purchased from us).

How to Set This Up in Salon Tracker

  1. Go to the Marketing section in your dashboard

  2. Choose Create New Campaign

  3. Filter your client list:

    • Select clients whose Last Visit was between now and 3 months ago

  4. Choose your channel: SMS or Email

  5. Paste in your chosen template and personalise it

  6. Hit Send or Schedule it for optimal timing

 

Pro Tip: Use a Special Offer to Spark Action

A small incentive like 10% off, a free treatment upgrade, or loyalty points can make all the difference. If you’re not offering a discount, simply reminding them of their last service and inviting them back warmly can still be effective.
