Automated Campaigns: Build better relationships with your clients 

Our Automated Campaigns were designed to help you build and maintain better relationships with your existing customers.

Unlike regular campaigns, Automated Campaign will run continuously and reach more and more clients over time. Each Automated Campaign is based on a pre-set condition, like a particular action or date, so once a campaign is activated – an email will be sent to every client who meets the condition.

Customize and activate the Automated Campaigns that work best for your business:

•       Conversion: Reach out to potential clients and encourage them to make their first purchase
•       Welcome: Greet new clients with a warm welcome and a personal invite to your client portal
•       Reactivation: Reconnect with clients you haven’t heard from in a while
•       VIP: Acknowledge your most loyal clients with special VIP offers
•       Date-triggered: Connect with clients around any specific date

Client Status Field: Stay on top of your customer lifecycle 

This new client card field will help you keep track of your clients, and better understand each client’s lifecycle. It’s also a great tool for managing your most loyal clients.

Each client will be given one of the following statuses. The statuses will be allocated automatically, but you can always change this manually.

•       Lead: This status will be assigned to all new contacts you upload or collect via your website widget, Reserve with Google or Facebook integrations. Your leads will keep this status as long as they haven’t completed their first action with your business – like showed up to their first meeting or placed their first payment.  
•       Customer: This status will be assigned to clients who have completed at least one meeting or placed one payment.
•       VIP: This is a special status saved for your most loyal customers. vCita won’t decide which of your clients are worthy of this title, so you can change the status manually on each client card.

You can set up marketing campaigns for clients with different statues, here are some ideas:

•       Create a campaign that helps your leads better understand your services
•       Invite your customers to visit your website or follow you on social media  
•       Send a special offer to VIPs to increase loyalty

You can always view and edit a client’s status from their client card.

 

New Branding settings: Make your business look slicker than ever!

You can now set your business’s logo and color scheme in the business branding area. Once your branding is set, it’ll stay consistent across all client-facing screens and become visible every time a client makes a booking, places a payment, or takes any other action through your Client Portal or Website Widget.

If you haven’t done so yet, head over to you Business Info Settings and customize your business’s look-and-feel.
