BEAUTY Beauty AT YO U R F I N G E R T I P S Are you a busy lady who can’t commit to beauty treatments weeks in advance, or you just don’t have time to ring around last minute? Perhaps, you’re a local business looking for a new and fun way to advertise your services? Then the Eleventh Hour App – which launches on February 1 - is for you. Creator Abigail Fetcher told us more… Ideal for customers.. Eleventh Hour Beauty is aimed at customers who don’t have the time to ring around for an appointment. Using the app means they can book something – even if it’s two in the morning! They can search the app or website for all types of hair and beauty treatments. These are limited only by the skills possessed by the professionals who list their availability with us (the more professionals who list, the more services available). Our target customer doesn’t have time to ring round salons or professionals to find an appointment. They want to do it quickly and easily from their phone or computer. Perfect for professionals We know that most professionals have their loyal customers. However, they need to reduce the amount of time in their diary that goes unused. That’s where Eleventh Hour can really help. They are informed that a customer has requested an appointment that they have listed on the app/site. They can then confirm or reject the appointment. They can also save the expense of a third-party booking system. A good option for new starters Eleventh Hour Beauty is targeting people who are qualified and who want to start out in the industry. While there is a lot of competition, using the app makes it easier to be found by clients. People who already work in a salon may choose to register as a mobile or home-based professional so they can earn money in their spare time too. Price guide Sign-up to the app is on a monthly basis and there is no set term, although discounts are given for annual subscriptions. To make the pricing fair, it’s based on the number of calendars required by the business. Pricing is £9.99 per month for a student who has qualified to industry standard but is continuing their studies; £15.99 for a single diary (suitable for mobile and home-based professionals); £29.99 a month for two-to-four diaries and £49.99 a month for businesses that require six-to-ten diaries. Other packages are available for larger businesses and franchises and are discussed on a case-by-case basis. With an ever-growing online population, I believe that Eleventh Hour Beauty is a necessity for businesses to futureproof themselves in a cost-effective way. Even better, you can register now and pay nothing until after the February launch.
