Be prepared for after Covid-19: Switch from walk-ins to appointments

These are unprecedented and difficult times the industry are facing - but you can still take control of your business and plan for a brighter future.

 There will most likely be a period where social distancing will still need to apply to ensure safety of the general public. This could mean that crowded shops could go against government guidelines. Whilst walk-ins will always be the life and blood of a barbershop, it might be a smart time to begin introducing appointments as well, to provide a queueing from home solution.

Benefits of switching to appointments

1. Know when and where your income is coming from - instead of hoping for a busy day

2. Clients can 'queue' from the comfort of their own home so you can manage the occupancy of your shop to reduce the risk.

3. Use Booksy's marketing tools to easily communicate with your clients about re-opening via email, SMS or push notifications.

4. Spread the rush of walk-in clients so you are consistently busy and avoid the long waiting times for your clients.
