Getting new clients to book is one thing — turning them into repeat customers is where sustainable growth happens. In the massage therapy business, loyalty isn't just about discounts — it's about the overall experience, trust, and consistency.

Here's how to use Fresha to convert first-time visitors into clients who keep coming back.

Make the first visit seamless and memorable

The first impression counts. Use Fresha to:

  • Send a warm, automated welcome message after booking
  • Collect client intake forms in advance
  • Offer easy contactless check-in and payment

A smooth experience helps first-time clients feel relaxed and reassured.

Take personalised notes for future visits

During or after the first session, record useful client info:

  • Areas of tension, injuries, or preferences
  • Pressure level or oil preferences
  • Recommendations for future treatments

With Fresha's client notes, every return visit feels personalised and professional.

Rebook at the right moment

Don't wait until they remember to call. Fresha helps you:

  • Prompt rebooking before they leave
  • Send reminders based on common treatment intervals (e.g. 2-4 weeks)
  • Offer an incentive like 10% off the next visit if booked within a week

Reward early loyalty

Encourage repeat bookings with simple rewards:

  • Offer a free add-on (e.g. hot stones or aromatherapy) on the 3rd visit
  • Create a mini loyalty card or digital points system
  • Use Fresha to track and automate the program

Stay top of mind between visits

Build connection outside of treatment time:

  • Send helpful self-care tips or stretches via email
  • Announce last-minute availability to keep them engaged
  • Personalised birthday messages or seasonal offers

Build a loyal massage client base with the right tools

First-time bookings are great — but loyal clients grow your business. With Fresha, you can nurture those early experiences into long-term relationships that boost retention and referrals.

    Create an experience clients want to return to — and let Fresha help you make it happen.
