Massage therapists · Preston, LancashireBooking system for massage therapists in Preston
Massage is booked by length (30, 60 or 90 minutes), and therapists need time between clients to reset the room. With students coming and going each term and customers travelling in from outside the city, a booking link that works on any phone does a lot of the work.
One of the UK’s lowest-priced booking systems: £8.99 a month flat, unlimited bookings, no commission.
Taking bookings as a massage therapist in Preston
Preston is Lancashire’s city, with the University of Central Lancashire close to the centre and customers coming in from the surrounding towns and villages. Bookings follow the university year as well as the usual weekly rhythm, and plenty of customers travel in from places like Leyland and Longridge.
Whether your clients come from Penwortham, Longridge, Fulwood or Ribbleton, Bookupy gives you one booking link that shows your real free times, takes the booking and emails a confirmation, so you aren’t answering messages while you work.
Interruptions during treatments
Clients book online, so your phone stays silent while you work.
Gaps that are too short to use
Buffers between appointments give you time to reset the room, without odd gaps.
Regulars who drift away
Rebook reminders bring regular clients back at the right time.
