Top reasons why Phorest is a better choice than Zenoti for your salon
Read in more detail exactly what Phorest can offer you that Zenoti can’t.
REASON #1 Supercharge your marketing
Fallback SMS
Most salons only have email addresses for 30% of their clients. Don’t put all that effort into beautiful marketing promotions, only to miss 70% of your clients! Phorest is the only salon software with a Fallback SMS feature that lets you send a link to your promotion, via SMS, to clients that do not have a valid email address on their client card.
Free SMS
Don’t worry about buying bundles of SMS that might expire before you use them, Phorest offers free SMS on our top level plans, and some of the best SMS rates on our lower plans - and you’ll only pay for what you use.
REASON #2 Boost direct bookings
Free SMS to clients overdue to rebook
Machine learning in Phorest recognizes when your clients are overdue to rebook their usual services, and you can send an SMS to them, free of charge, to remind them to make that booking asap.
REASON #3 Protect your salon
Multiple no-show alerts
Unreliable clients can leave you with empty timeslots and cost valuable revenue. Phorest automatically adds a note to client records when a client doesn’t show for an appointment, and you’ll get a ‘multiple no-show’ alert when they try to book with you over the phone. This allows you to turn them away, or request they book online with a deposit, allowing you to capture their payment details and charge a no-show fee should it happen again.
Access professional consultation form templates
As a busy salon or spa owner, we know that you don’t always have time to create unique consultation forms for every service or client. That’s why Phorest comes stocked with a range of pre-made consultation form templates available to use immediately, with digital signatures accepted and full integration with client profiles guaranteed.
REASON #4 Support second to none
Dedicated Salon Success Manager to help you increase salon revenue
With many other salon software providers you’ll get an account manager to help you get set up, but once you’re up and running you won’t hear from them again. With Phorest you’ll be assigned a Salon Success Manager to make sure you’re getting the most from your software, supporting you to keep growing your business and increasing your revenue.
Access Exclusive Industry Events
Phorest is more than just software, it’s a partnership. Phorest clients get exclusive access to the industry’s leading conference and networking event, the Salon Owners Summit, held in Dublin, Ireland every January. Acclaimed for being the best event in the industry, if you’re dedicated to business growth and want to build connections with the people in your industry, it’s a must-attend.
