This is wonderful!! Thank you!!
Is there any way to NOT send out an email to all of our clients automatically? We have customers who use Vagaro and want the appointment notifications, but have opted out of newsletter and promotional mailings. We won't be able to use this if all customers get a promotional email.
Thanks again,
Lisa
Thank you for this option. I love it. Will you be adding a "pay" option along with the "book" option with the promotions.
This is something that we wanted for a long time. It would be even more effective if customers get an ability to buy the promotion right away. Perhaps you would need to leverage some of the gift certificate functionality here. Groupon and Living social has a very large subscriber base and strong marketing, but we hate to give away 50 - 75% of share.
Sounds fabulous !!!
The only one thing ,i agree with Lisa about automatically sent e-mails
Can we avoid it ?
Or can you send an e-mail to a select group. Also can their be a prepay option just like groupon, where you will pay for the special price only for a limited time?

This is so awesome!!! I also agree is there a way to add a filter for the contact list, not all clients are new and some clients do not want to receive the email listings.
All valid input. We are adding an option to limit the promotion to new customers only in which case we will not send the emails out. We will work on making it payable immediately as well. Stay tuned.
Thank you Fred!
You probably already noticed. We have added an option to to specify new customers only and you can now limit to promotion to certain service providers.
Is there a way to not automatically send an email at all? Here is our problem. We use an email client and have for many years. Our clients opt in to receive newsletters and promotions through our website or our intake form when they first come into our office. If they click "no, I would not like to receive email from 12th Avenue", then we cannot send any to them. Some of our new clients and old clients have opted out of receiving email. I would like to be able to easily run a promotion on Vagaro, then use our email client (with our own branded newsletters and templates) to send an email saying we are having a promotion. Is that possible?
Thanks!
I know this thread is a year past, but I do have a question that was mentioned but not answered. Is there a way clients can purchase the promotion as a certificate to use at a later date? Say I run a special for 3 or 4 days, I would want as many clients to take advantage of that special by purchasing and being able to book for a later date. When will this be an option?
