The team have been thinking and we would like to share with you our favourite idea for ways you can use custom tags to help your business

Client Preferences

  • Silent service - For some people, they'd rather avoid the chit chat, make sure you're aware so your clients can be as comfortable as possible

  • Wheelchair user- Make sure the team are prepared for any of your clients that may require special assistance on their arrival

  • Preferred pronouns- Help make the clients feel welcomed by displaying tags according to their pronouns or how they identify

  • Tea/Coffee - Make your in-salon experience on-point by keeping the team aware of everyones drink of choice for when they're welcomed in

Client Management

  • Keep track of your own clients - Tag clients with an emoji that represents you and "Helens client" so reception know not to move their appointments into someone else's column

  • Identify late customers - We all know some customer's cant keep track of time, be ready by tagging the late comers

  • Track who buys retail - Help reception identify good candidates for upselling, and also filter your client list by client tags to find those who like a bit of retail therapy and send them promotions!

  • Profession - Tag the teachers so you can get them in for last minute slots in the holidays (or a back to school blowdry).

  • Difficult clients - We all know the ones... tag them so you're prepared

  • No-show risks - Got those clients with a bad reputation for not turning up? Tag them to make sure you ask them for a deposit!

  • Big spenders - Tag your loyal/big spenders so your team know who to roll out the red carpet for

Information for staff

  • Long hair - Tag your clients with the troublesome mane's so you know to add a bit of extra time

  • Track discounts to make sure they are applied at checkout. Client tags can be seen at checkout so by tagging the client whoever checks them out will know to add the discount - NHS, OAP, Student...

  • Dog owner - Tag the dog owners so you can expect their furry friend to join them sometimes


Please note - If you are on the Essential package and would like to try out client tags then please contact Customer support who can set you up on a 30 day free trial of client tags!
