Missed Appointment & No-Show Recovery for Shoe Repair & Cobbler Shops

{"faqs":[{"answer":"We work from your list exactly as it is — a CRM, a spreadsheet, or a point-of-sale export. There's no software to buy or learn. We segment your list by recency, identify the no-shows and forgotten pickups, and run the outreach campaign for you, with replies routed back into your normal booking process.","question":"How does no-show recovery work for a shoe repair shop with just a paper log or simple POS list?"},{"answer":"Yes — that's the core of how we work. You approve every script, offer, and message before anything is sent. We plan the campaign together, you sign off, we run it. Messages go out in your shop's name so it feels like a helpful reminder, not a pushy sales call.","question":"Can I control what my customers hear when you contact them about missed pickups?"},{"answer":"There's a one-time Campaign Setup fee based on your list size, quoted at your free list review before you spend anything. Outreach minutes run 9¢–21¢ per minute, stepping down as volume grows, and Campaign Management is monthly with texts and emails included in the quote — no per-seat pricing or surprise line items.","question":"How much does a no-show recovery campaign cost for a small cobbler shop?"},{"answer":"Win-back campaigns typically run two to four weeks end-to-end, and replies can start coming in as soon as the first wave goes out. Booked pickups flow into your existing booking process with confirmations and no-show follow-up built in.","question":"How fast will I see results from a no-show recovery campaign?"},{"answer":"You certainly can — but bench time is your billable time, and most shops never get around to it. Our team makes the calls for you at scale, while real humans handle the judgment and every message is approved by you first. It's done-for-you outreach with no software to buy, and opt-outs are honored immediately under all calling and texting regulations.","question":"Why not just have my counter staff call no-shows ourselves?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free list review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Send us your customer list — CRM, spreadsheet, or point-of-sale export.
