Doctors – Dentists

How costly are missed appointments?

Let’s say your office schedules 40 appointments a day at $70 a visit. If 8 of your customers miss their appointments, your business loses $560 for that day alone. Multiply that by 21 business days a month, and you’re out $11,760.

Why are my customers missing their appointments?
For most of us, we simply forget them. So, it only makes sense to remind your customers. And there’s no faster or less expensive way to do so than through Mutual SMS text message reminders.

You’ll find that most people welcome any reminders they receive. In fact, studies have shown that over 97% of patients approve reminder phone calls and even less intrusive than phone calls are text messages.

SAMPLE TEXT MESSAGE REMINDER
