LYMM BEAUTY SALON
Luxe Beauty in Lymm, Cheshire enjoyed increased profits in December 2018 because they didn’t miss a single telephone enquiry.As a small business, Luxe Beauty had no budget for a receptionist, but they knew they were missing calls. They started using SMARTstrat’s 24 hour inbound call handling service, which resulted in an impressive return on investment.While the beauty therapists concentrated on looking after their clients, SMARTstrat provided a seamless phone answering service by taking the overflow calls the salon couldn’t get to while providing treatments, entering bookings onto Luxe Beauty’s booking system and answering enquiries.
