Email Grooming User Defined Html Confirmations and Reminders System

You can email your customers directly from within their client record.  Allows for sorting on any criteria that you can imagine. Whether it’s fully automatic grooming reminders, a thank you to new clients, bonus offerings to clients that have spent over $2500.00 this year, coupon reminders to clients that haven’t returned in the last 9 months, etc. Avalon has full mail merge capability that can even adjust to a pet’s gender. These features are also available if using letters, post cards or mailing labels.  Each email post is individually addressed and is not a "mass spam" mailing. 

Avalon has a new specially designed email system that allows for personalized mailings to any and/or all of your customers at one time. This system has full mail merge capability without spamming. Additionally, recipients can be included or excluded from any mailing via KennelSoft's Client Selection System. Grooming reminders are sent with no cards, postage, printer ribbons, or labor.

All mailings can be designed in HTML for really decorative and unique reminders which can also include animated gif files for a delightful mailing. Not only will you save many thousands of dollars each year on traditional mailings and reminders, but because of the ease and speed of this system you can now communicate more often with your customers with no expense whatsoever, while still allowing for post card communication for those clients that don't currently have email.

Email reservation & confirmation reminder templates are user defined for a mail merge from a list of code fields available from the Avalon database. Email confirmations may include a Confirmation # , Pet Name, Last Name, Breed, Appointment/Reservation Dates, Veterinarian, and Vaccination Expiration Dates and requests that they notify you if the information shown in the email message needs to be updated. 

A right click in Appointments and a click on Email Confirmation and it’s sent.  Separate email confirmations can be created for: dog or cats grooming.  Avalon has the capability to handle html created grooming confirmations and reminders.  Attached is a sample of how an html email can look when generated from a template file within the Avalon program.

I'M A NEW CLIENT: All appointments (boarding, day care, or grooming) for new clients will have a bright yellow ball that says ”I’m New” in the appointment.  This is based upon this being the first visit for the owner. 

 

 

REFERRAL REPORT: - This report shows dollars generated by all referrers. This is an excellent tool to show what advertising or marketing efforts (dollars) are working what are not.  There is a report option for Summary Only or Detailed (which lists owners and number of pets). 

 

SEARCH OPTIONS: New search options allows you to browse, search and scroll thru appointments or clients six records at a time.  If you double click on the word Pet in appointments and type:  bud   It will bring up all of the Buds, Buddys, Budrows, etc.  Double click on the one you want and it will bring up that appointment.  In appointments you can use this to browse/search/scroll Last Name, Pet Name, Arrival Date, Departure Date, or Groom Date.  In clients you can browse/search/scroll Last Name, Pet Name, Breed, or Home Phone Number.  When using the old “right click” method for searching, the active search field will have the first letter italicized in the appointment and client screen.

ADDITIONAL CREDIT CARD SECURITY:  If a client record has no credit card info then a person with a minimal logon level is now able to click on the confidential tab and add credit card info.  Only a person at or above the confidential logon level will be able to click on the confidential tab if there is current credit card info.  This info now appears on screen during check out.
