Email & SMS

Follow up consistently — without anyone having to remember.

Most leads don't book on the first contact, and most past customers never hear from you again. Well-designed email and SMS sequences keep you present at the right moments — confirmations, reminders, check-ins and genuinely useful updates — while respecting consent.

Right for you if

  • Businesses with a database of past leads and customers they never contact
  • Practices with no-show or cancellation problems
  • Teams that want follow-up to run reliably in the background

The problem

What usually goes wrong

01

Leads go cold

A single follow-up attempt leaves most of your marketing investment unrecovered.

02

Missed calls are lost calls

When a caller reaches voicemail, many simply call the next business on the list.

03

Consent is an afterthought

Commercial email and SMS are regulated in most markets (CASL, GDPR, TCPA and others). Sloppy consent creates real risk.

What’s included

What Email & SMS includes

Scope is tailored to your business. These are the components we typically build and manage.

  • Lead nurture sequences

    Helpful, timed follow-up for leads who haven't booked yet.

  • Appointment communication

    Confirmations, reminders and preparation messages.

  • Missed-call text-back

    Automatic SMS response when a call goes unanswered (where consent and context allow).

  • Reactivation campaigns

    Re-engage past customers and dormant leads with consented, relevant offers.

  • Consent architecture

    Separate, unticked consent capture, timestamps, sender identification and unsubscribe handling.

  • Deliverability

    Domain authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and list hygiene.

Common questions

Can we email everyone who ever enquired?

Not necessarily. Consent rules differ by market — under Canada's CASL, for example, implied consent from an inquiry is time-limited. We help you segment by consent status; your legal counsel should confirm your approach.

Is SMS covered by consent rules?

Generally, yes. Commercial text messages are regulated in most markets (for example CASL, TCPA and GDPR/PECR). Consent, identification and opt-out requirements apply.
