The problem
Empty chairs and one-time clients are killing your margins.
Med spas lose an estimated 20 to 30% of potential revenue to no-shows, lapsed treatment plans, and clients who never return after their first visit. The solution is consistent follow-up, but your front desk team cannot do it all.
No-shows are costing you thousands every month.
A single missed Botox appointment can cost $500 to $1,200 in lost revenue. Multiply that by 5 to 10 no-shows per week and you are leaving $10,000+ on the table every month. Manual reminders help, but they are inconsistent and time-consuming for your front desk staff.
Seasonal demand swings leave chairs empty.
January is packed. February slows down. Summer drops off. You know the patterns, but proactively filling slow periods requires marketing campaigns, promotions, and outreach that your team never has time to plan and execute consistently.
Treatment plan compliance drops after the first visit.
A client starts a 3-session laser package. After the first session, they do not rebook. Life gets busy. They forget. You lose the remaining revenue, and they do not get the full results. Following up with every client who falls off their treatment plan is practically impossible at scale.
Reviews do not collect themselves.
You know reviews drive new bookings. But asking every satisfied client to leave a Google review after their treatment feels awkward. Your front desk forgets. The moment passes. Your competitors with more reviews keep winning the local search results.
What OpenClaw automates
8 workflows that grow your revenue on autopilot.
Start with appointment reminders. The impact on no-shows is immediate. Then add treatment follow-ups, review requests, and seasonal campaigns.
01
Appointment Reminders (2-Day + Same-Day)
Cut no-shows by up to 60%.
OpenClaw sends a personalized text 48 hours before the appointment with the service, provider, date, and time. Then a same-day reminder 3 hours before with directions and pre-treatment instructions. Clients can confirm or reschedule with a single reply. If they cancel, the waitlist kicks in automatically.
02
Treatment Plan Follow-Ups
Keep clients on track with their treatment protocol.
After each session, OpenClaw sends a post-treatment care reminder with aftercare instructions specific to the treatment type. When the next session is due, it sends a rebooking prompt with a direct scheduling link. If no rebooking happens within a week, a follow-up with incentive messaging goes out.
03
Membership Renewal Reminders
Reduce involuntary churn from expired memberships.
For med spas with monthly or annual memberships, OpenClaw sends renewal reminders 14 days, 7 days, and 1 day before expiration. If the membership lapses, a re-activation offer goes out with a limited-time incentive. Members who might have quietly churned get a reason to stay.
04
Before/After Photo Requests
Build your portfolio without chasing clients.
After qualifying treatments, OpenClaw sends a friendly request for before/after photos with clear instructions on lighting and angle. Includes a consent form link. Photos that come in are organized by treatment type and flagged for your marketing team. Your social proof library grows automatically.
05
Post-Treatment Review Requests
More reviews. Better local rankings. More bookings.
24 hours after treatment, OpenClaw sends a satisfaction check. Positive response? A Google Review request goes out with a direct link. Negative response? An internal alert goes to the manager so the issue gets handled before it becomes a public review. Timing is everything with reviews, and this happens automatically.
06
Birthday and Anniversary Offers
Personalized offers that drive rebookings.
OpenClaw sends birthday offers 7 days before the client's birthday with a special discount or complimentary add-on. It also tracks first-visit anniversaries and sends a 'thank you' with a loyalty reward. These small touches drive rebookings and make clients feel valued without your staff remembering every date.
07
Seasonal Promo Campaigns
Fill slow periods with targeted offers.
When you know a slow period is coming, OpenClaw sends targeted campaigns to clients who have not visited in 60+ days. Summer body prep in spring. Holiday glow packages in November. New year skin reset in January. Each campaign is personalized based on the client's treatment history and preferences.
08
Waitlist Management
Fill cancellations in minutes, not hours.
When an appointment cancels, OpenClaw immediately texts the waitlist in order of priority. First to respond gets the slot. No phone calls, no scrambling. The appointment is rebooked before the provider even notices the gap. Revenue stays consistent even when cancellations happen.
Lead nurturing on autopilot
From first inquiry to loyal client. Automatically.
Most med spa inquiries come from people who are interested but nervous. They need fast, helpful responses that build confidence. OpenClaw delivers that experience for every single inquiry, 24 hours a day.
Instant Inquiry Response
Someone asks about Botox, fillers, or laser treatments through your website or Instagram. OpenClaw responds in under 60 seconds with pricing, availability, and a before/after gallery link. Books a consultation directly.
Consultation Confirmation
Consultation booked? OpenClaw sends a confirmation with what to expect, how to prepare, and a brief intake form. Reduces anxiety for first-time clients and ensures the consultation is productive.
No-Show Follow-Up
Client missed their consultation? OpenClaw sends a friendly 'we missed you' text within the hour with a one-tap rescheduling link. No judgment, just convenience. Recovers 30 to 40% of missed consultations.
Nurture Non-Bookers
Inquired but did not book? A 3-part sequence goes out over 10 days. A treatment explainer video. Client testimonials from similar demographics. A limited-time offer. Each touchpoint educates and builds confidence.
Re-Engagement for Lapsed Clients
Clients who have not visited in 90+ days receive a personalized 'we miss you' message with a treatment recommendation based on their history and a comeback incentive. Reactivates dormant revenue.
