The Science of Reminder Timing

Research-Backed Timing Framework:

TimingPurposeNo-Show ReductionNotes
Immediate (booking)ConfirmationBaselineSets expectations
7 days beforeEarly awareness5-8%For scheduled 2+ weeks out
48 hours beforePrimary reminder18-25%Sweet spot for memory
24 hours beforeSecondary reminder8-12%Catches procrastinators
Morning ofFinal reminder6-10%Last chance prevention
30 min beforeEn route alert2-4%Courtesy, not prevention

Cumulative Effect:

No reminders: 25% no-show rate
Confirmation only: 22% no-show rate
+ 48-hour reminder: 16% no-show rate
+ 24-hour reminder: 12% no-show rate
+ Morning-of reminder: 9% no-show rate
+ En route alert: 8% no-show rate

Total reduction: 68% (25% → 8%)

Time-of-Day Optimization

Best Times to Send Reminders:

SMS Messages:
Best: 9 AM - 7 PM (recipient's timezone)
Avoid: Before 8 AM, after 8 PM (feels intrusive)
Optimal: 10 AM, 2 PM, 6 PM (highest response rates)

Voice Calls:
Best: 10 AM - 12 PM, 5 PM - 7 PM
Avoid: During typical work hours (1-4 PM), dinner time (5:30-6:30 PM)
Note: Voicemail is fine anytime

Email:
Best: Early morning (6-8 AM) or evening (6-8 PM)
Why: Checked before work and after work
Open rates: 35% higher than midday sends

Weekend Appointments:
Send Friday afternoon reminder (3-5 PM)
Send Saturday morning reminder (8-9 AM)
Higher no-show risk: Increase touch frequency

Appointment Window Length Impact

Time Window Precision:

All-Day Appointment (8 AM - 5 PM):
No-show rate: 28%
Problem: Too vague, customer forgets or makes other plans

4-Hour Window (9 AM - 1 PM or 1 PM - 5 PM):
No-show rate: 18%
Problem: Still long, customer commitment low

2-Hour Window (10 AM - 12 PM):
No-show rate: 12%
Improvement: More specific, easier to remember

1-Hour Window (10 AM - 11 AM):
No-show rate: 8%
Improvement: Specific commitment, calendar-blockable

30-Minute + Call Ahead:
No-show rate: 5%
Best practice: "We'll call 30 minutes before arrival"
Success: Customer can make short-term plans

Recommendation: 2-hour window + 30-minute heads up
Balance: Scheduling efficiency + low no-show rate

Strategy 3: Customer-Friendly Scheduling Policies

Making it easy for customers to keep or reschedule appointments dramatically reduces no-shows.

Deposit and Cancellation Policies

Strategic Deposit Requirements:

No Deposit Required:
- Regular service calls ($150-500 value)
- Established customers
- Emergency calls

Reason: Friction reduces bookings more than it reduces no-shows

Deposit Required (Case by case):
- Large projects ($2,000+)
- New customers with complex work
- History of no-shows/cancellations
- Special order materials

Typical: 10-25% deposit
Purpose: Demonstrates commitment, covers materials

Cancellation Policy:

- 50% service fee for <24 hour cancellation
- Full service fee for no-shows

Communication:
State clearly at booking and in confirmations
Result: 15-20% fewer no-shows among deposit customers

Strategy 4: Service Excellence & Communication

Great service and clear communication reduce no-shows by building trust and setting proper expectations.

Pre-Appointment Communication

What to Communicate:

Technician Profile:
"Your technician is Mike Rodriguez, 12-year veteran with
300+ 5-star reviews. He specializes in [Service Area]."

Purpose: Builds trust, humanizes service

What to Expect:
"Mike will:
1. Arrive in marked truck with [Company] uniform
2. Show ID and introduce himself
3. Wear shoe covers to protect your floors
4. Diagnose issue and explain findings
5. Provide written estimate before any work
6. Complete repairs if you approve pricing
7. Clean up work area
8. Test to ensure everything works"

Purpose: Reduces anxiety, sets expectations

Pricing Transparency:
"Service call: $150 (waived if you approve repairs)
Labor: $125/hour
Parts: Priced upon inspection
We'll provide written estimate before starting work."

Purpose: Eliminates pricing surprises

COVID/Safety Protocols (if applicable):
"For your safety:
- Masked technicians
- Sanitized tools
- Contactless payment options"

Purpose: Health-conscious customers appreciate this

Day-of Service Updates

Real-Time Communication:

30 Minutes Before Arrival:
Phone call or SMS:
"Hi [Customer], this is [Technician] from [Company]. I'm
finishing up my previous job and will be at your home in
approximately 30 minutes. Is that still a good time?"

Purpose:
- Final confirmation
- Allows last-minute rescheduling if needed
- Demonstrates professionalism
- Reduces "where are they?" calls

On the Way:
SMS with GPS tracking:
"I'm on my way! Track my arrival: [Link]
Arriving in 12 minutes."

Purpose:
- Customer can see real-time location
- Reduces anxiety
- Prevents leaving to run errands
- Modern, tech-forward impression

Running Late:
Immediate notification:
"[Customer], I'm running 20 minutes behind due to my previous
job taking longer than expected. Is that okay or would you
prefer to reschedule?"

Purpose:
- Respects customer's time
- Gives option to reschedule
- Prevents frustration
- Maintains trust

Success Rate:
Real-time updates reduce no-shows by additional 8-12%
Also reduces "where are they?" calls by 75%

Smart Scheduling Algorithms

Predictive No-Show Prevention:

Risk Scoring Based on:

Customer History:
- Previous no-shows (high weight)
- Previous reschedules (medium weight)
- On-time rate (inverse weight)

Appointment Characteristics:
- Appointment time (afternoons higher risk)
- Day of week (Mondays higher risk)
- Time until appointment (far future = higher risk)

Customer Demographics:
- New vs. existing customer
- Home vs. rental property
- Age of customer (if known)
- Communication responsiveness

Automated Actions Based on Risk:

High Risk (Score 70-100):
- Additional reminder touches
- Require deposit
- Confirm twice (48h and 24h)
- Manager review before scheduling

Medium Risk (Score 40-69):
- Standard reminder sequence
- Extra confirmation request
- Offer incentive for showing up

Low Risk (Score 0-39):
- Standard reminders
- Preferred scheduling (better time slots)
- VIP customer treatment

Result: 18% reduction in high-risk appointment no-shows

Strategy 6: Incentives and Penalties

Strategic use of carrots and sticks influences customer behavior positively.

Positive Incentives

Show-Up Rewards:

Discount for Keeping Appointment:

Purpose: Provides positive reinforcement
Success: 12-18% reduction in no-shows

In Confirmations:
Clearly stated in every communication

Enforcement:
