01, Vision

The Problem.
The Mission.

The Challenge

Boutique nail studio losing clients to chain competitors with online booking. Phone only system meant missed calls equaled missed money, and the brand felt dated next to newer studios.

  • Phone only booking, missed calls equal missed money
  • Dated brand losing share to chain salons nearby
  • Zero ads infrastructure or retargeting
  • No reminder flow, high no show rate
The Vision

Editorial visual refresh, embedded online booking with deposit, Instagram ads targeting gel and Russian manicure searches, and an automated text reminder system to cut no shows.

  • Embedded deposit booking on every entry point
  • Paid social on gel and Russian manicure intent
  • Automated text reminders 48h before every visit
  • Profile optimization for Newark searches

"Booked four weeks out for the first time ever. The text reminder system alone paid for the whole project."
