Case Study: How a Med Spa Doubled Consult Bookings in 90 Days

The Challenge

A growing med spa in a competitive urban market was struggling to fill consultation slots consistently. Despite running promotions and maintaining a social media presence, bookings were flat. The clinic wanted to increase patient engagement, convert leads faster, and fill the calendar without increasing marketing spend.

The Solution

1. Implemented a Structured Follow-Up System

  • Automated reminders via email and SMS after initial inquiries
  • Personalized messages referencing specific services of interest
  • Multi-touch strategy: 7 follow-ups over two weeks

2. Monthly Campaigns for Targeted Offers

  • Introduced themed monthly campaigns for popular services (facials, injectables, laser treatments)
  • Each campaign included emails, SMS, social media posts, and landing pages

3. Leveraged AI for Content and Communication

  • ChatGPT helped draft engaging follow-up messages and blog content
  • Maintained a friendly, human tone while automating outreach

4. Optimized Booking Process

  • Simplified online booking system with clear calls-to-action
  • Integrated scheduling reminders to reduce no-shows

The Results

  • Consult bookings doubled in 90 days
  • Email and SMS engagement increased by 65%
  • Patient retention improved, with more returning for additional treatments
  • Marketing efficiency improved, reducing wasted ad spend

Key Takeaways

  1. Automation + Personalization = More Bookings
    Patients respond better when follow-ups feel human and timely.
  2. Monthly Campaigns Keep Your Schedule Full
    Regular, themed offers create anticipation and consistent patient flow.
  3. AI Can Enhance, Not Replace, Human Interaction
