Finally, a two-way SMS hairdresser

I need my hair cut. Again. It grows like no tomorrow, it really does. So last time I was getting it cut, I raised many shaped eyebrows when I asked for my next appointment in three weeks.

And three weeks is almost here. My appointment is on Saturday morning. I just got this prompt from them:

Hi, Headmasters Chiswick confirming your appt on Sat 29 Aug 09:00. Reply YES to confirm, or NO to cancel, or phone 020 8742 7555.

Genius. I really like the two-way connectedness on display here. Normally I usually only see one-way reminders. But this is really cool. I assume it plugs straight into their booking/diary system.

Simple, efficient, everybody’s a winner.

  1. Finally?? Ewan, we have *hundreds* of hairdresses using 2 way SMS… just via our online system (some with integration into CRM.. most just using Txtlocal online)…

    .. not to mention churches, chip shops and charities – anyone and everyone is using Txtlocal – over 40,000 per month now and growing 30% per month!! SMS for mainstream business use (1 and 2 way) is now happening. Check out our review in PC Pro 🙂 http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/software/350564/
