Frequently Asked Questions
When should I send a no-show follow-up message?
Send your first follow-up within 1 hour of the missed appointment. Research shows that 30% of no-shows will rebook if contacted within 24 hours, and the sooner you reach out, the higher the conversion rate.
Should I charge a no-show fee?
It depends on your industry and clientele. Medical and dental offices commonly charge $25-$75 for no-shows. If you do charge, make sure patients/clients have acknowledged your cancellation policy in writing beforehand.
Is it better to text or call after a no-show?
Start with a text message — it's less intrusive and has a 98% open rate. If you don't hear back within 24 hours, follow up with a phone call. For medical offices, a phone call may be more appropriate for wellness checks.
How many follow-up messages should I send after a no-show?
We recommend a 3-touch approach: an initial text within 1 hour, a follow-up call or email within 24 hours, and a final 'last chance' message within a week. After that, respect the client's decision.
Can I automate no-show follow-up messages?
Yes! Services like ReadyToTalk can automatically detect missed appointments and send personalized follow-up messages — saving your staff time while recovering lost revenue.
