    E-mails to your clients?

    I found this is the most crucial information to get from our clients, mobile and email address as our computer system allows us to automatically send Reminders, which has cut down on at least 80% of any no-shows, 'Thank you for coming' 'Happy Birthday' and pro-active messages if they have not...

    Platinum Salon Software has an automatic loyalty point system built in, you do not need the additional cost of swipe cards but the system does allow them I am sure, if you prefer. You could have both sites set up to share the same database, I have this with Platinum with 2 computers in the...

    Salon software with multiple salons connected?

    When we were costing the opening of our second branch we stuck with Platinum salon software as it does not have an expensive head office version, you just buy the same version for each site.

    Salon software - essential or luxury?

    I agree with a person here who said the marketing is essential, if we had a quiet morning we would text that a member of staff was not busy and offer 20% off and it was like magic. They should all do it We use Platinum salon software and they did not charge us for sending out email marketing...

    Salon Advance software help

    You may not always stay small though! Better to get a software that grows with you and not one where you may have to keep paying out for new versions etc. if things change ie. extra staff, new product range, new treatments.

    Can anyone advise me on salon software please?

    I would just like to confirm that no software needs to have ongoing annual or monthly costs. Platinum software is purchased outright and nothing more to pay. You do not need the internet to run the system (unless you want it for marketing/auto reminders) and hence cannot lose or are denied...

    Platinum Software v Salon Iris- Advice pls

    We use Platinum and have used them for a number of years, one of the points you made about Iris, its a complicated system to get to grips with, Platinum is built specifically to have simple screens that suit a busy desk or those people that are not that great with computers. I took Platinum in...
