Summer\u2019s over, but we\u2019re heating things up at WellnessLiving with a sizzling new update loaded with tons of new features and improvements. Thanks to your brilliant feedback and most pressing needs, we\u2019re excited to unveil even more ways our systems can get to work for you. \u00a0Go on — take a dive into our latest updates, additions, and improvements.<\/span><\/p>\n

New Features<\/span><\/h2>\n

Direct Mail – Campaign Wizard<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"2017-10-10_11-17-00\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are pleased to announce that WellnessLiving has created a powerful, customizable direct mailing platform. With these new campaigns, you can create your own postcards for marketing events, special offers, and more, then send them directly to any or all of your clients.<\/p>\n

Your new direct mailing campaigns will allow you to create totally customized, eye-catching postcards that your clients will be delighted to receive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Custom Booking Intervals<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"2017-10-10_11-18-26\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Everything in your business should work the way you want, especially your schedule. To give you even more power, we\u2019ve added custom booking intervals for your appointments. This means you have total control over when your clients can book appointments.<\/p>\n

Instead of choosing from pre-selected intervals, you can create your own custom booking intervals for any number of hours or minutes. This setting determines when clients can book appointments. \u00a0This update gives you even more control over your booking, allowing you to schedule appointments exactly how you want.<\/span><\/p>\n

New Membership Hold Option<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"2017-10-10_11-19-07\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Get complete control over your memberships and payment schedules with our new membership hold option. With this new option, you can choose to put a hold on a payment for a set amount of time when a client purchases their membership..<\/p>\n

This means that you have complete control over your payment cycles when a membership is on hold, no matter the purchase date. You can process all payments on the same date or stagger payments in a way that makes sense for your business. However you choose to manage your business, WellnessLiving is always working to help you get things done.<\/span><\/p>\n

Add Tips to Paid Appointments<\/span><\/h3>\n

You need to keep your financial information organized, which is why we\u2019ve added a new option to add a tip for prepaid appointments. Now, if a client pre-paid for an appointment, you\u2019re still able to process tips as a separate transaction once they\u2019re in your business. if you select the \u201cBUY\u201d button from the appointment pop-up, you will be redirected to the store where you can process a tip, and sell your customers any additional items. An amount can be designated for each tip, and each tip can be assigned to the staff member to whom it should be issued. To ensure optimal organization, each tip will appear on the receipt as a separate line item.<\/span><\/p>\n

Improvements<\/span><\/h2>\n

Schedule Widget Overhaul<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"2017-10-11_9-09-54\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You want to be sure that your clients can access your schedule from any device. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve made the Custom Schedule Widget 100% customizable and responsive. But we didn\u2019t stop there! You can also choose whether to use the Calendar or List view in the widget, select which services are shown in the widget, and choose the background color of your Book Now page.<\/span><\/p>\n

Filter For\u00a0Events in Schedule Widget<\/span><\/h4>\n

To give you even more power from your Schedule Widget, you can\u00a0now filter for\u00a0Events in the widget, along with your classes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Transaction Report Changes<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"2017-10-11_9-11-51\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Use this report to see a summary of sales transactions at your location and understand how customers make purchases at your business (Payment Type, Quantity, Subtotal, Refunds, and Total Amount). <\/span><\/p>\n

Pair this report with the pre-existing All Transactions Report (which has been renamed \u00a0All Transactions Details Report) to discover all the information you want about your customers\u2019 purchasing habits and methods.<\/span><\/p>\n

New SMS and Push Notifications<\/span><\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve supercharged your SMS and push notifications, giving you even more options to communicate with your clients. Instead of relying on your email notifications to deliver information, you can send all of your client\u2019s important notifications directly to their smartphones. Like all notifications, new SMS and push notifications can be turned on or off at anytime.<\/span><\/p>\n

Categories of new SMS and push notifications include:<\/span><\/p>\n
