Purchase Option Transferring<\/h3>\n

As fantastic as your services are, don\u2019t you think they would be even more enjoyable as a gift? The gift of giving just got a little sweeter, thanks to this fantastic feature. With the introduction of Purchase Option Transferring, your clients now have the option to buy something and give it to their friend or family member\u2026or a complete stranger for that matter. Here\u2019s an idea of how it works.<\/p>\n

Once an item has been purchased through the store, it can be immediately gifted to any other clients in your business, even if they are not related.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Rescheduling Recurring Appointments<\/h3>\n

Regular appointments are a, well, regular part of your business. With our brand new reschedule options for recurring appointments, your clients changeable schedules can be more easily accounted for and accommodated.<\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s say your client usually comes in for an appointment every Tuesday at 3PM, but for some reason can\u2019t make this or multiple sessions. Instead of implementing a series of imaginative workarounds, you can simply reschedule the appointment and move on with your day. Easy, right?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Contact History\u00a0– Coming Soon<\/h3>\n

Another upcoming change will be to your clients\u2019 email histories. Don\u2019t worry, all of your clients histories will still be there, they\u2019ll just be better. The Email History tab will be changing to become the Contact History tab. With this change will come a variety of new filters that will allow you to see all of the different interactions your staff members have with each client: email, mail, in person, over the phone, or via SMS messaging.<\/p>\n

A new button will be added to the improved contact history, making it easier for you to keep in touch with your clients using any contact method. This button will allow you to create contact logs, which can be used to note information, create tasks, and even create follow-up tasks based on the previous tasks associated with a client.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
