Personal Reminders for Busy Lifestyles

Running a doctors office can be a lot of work. When I first took overseeing the day-to-day operations of my husband’s busy office, I had no idea how hard everyone worked to keep it running smoothly. I wanted to find ways to make his employees' jobs easier. After all, they were the backbone of the practice -- without them, my husband’s practice would not be as successful as it is.

The first thing I did was to find computer programs that worked better for the receptionists and the nurses. I knew by doing this would help with relaying information from the front of the office to where the patients were being examined without the nurses having to run back and forth. This seemed to really help with efficiency in the office so the patient was not left waiting on the nurses and the doctor.

The best new office tool that we have now incorporated into the office is using the Scheduling Text Messages as reminder to patients on when their appointment. This has helped to cut the cost of no-shows. It has also helped keeping the receptionist more organized and allows her to efficiently reschedule or schedule appointments for patients.

We have now started using Scheduling SMS Messages in other areas of our business. To keep up with the many demands of the medical practice, we send out text messages to inform our staff when there are upcoming meetings or when there are conferences that we all need to attend regarding the medical practice.

The Text Message Scheduling has been a hit with our patients. They like being reminded when check up is approaching or if someone has cancelled and they can get in to see the doctor sooner. This helps a lot during the cold and flu season when the office is really busy.

Parents enjoy our medical practice having this service when it is time for their children to receive their immunization shots and check up at the beginning of the school year. This is a great reminder tool for them since many of us lead such busy lifestyles and are always on the go.

No matter if our patients need a check up or are having serious health issues, Scheduled Text Messages can be a great small business tool. Using this type of messaging service has helped our office run like a well oiled machine.

Organizing a Pool League with Schedule Text Messaging

For most of my childhood, my great uncle owned the local pool hall. Growing up around the pool hall and working with my great uncle every summer when I was home from college, I learned to play pool. My brothers and I were always in and out helping out our great uncle whenever he needed extra help during pool tournaments. Not only was this where we worked all those summers in college it was a family business.

When our great uncle passed away he left my brothers and I the pool hall in his will. We were saddened by his passing but excited to be able to run the family business. My brothers and I updated some of the pool tables and added a few more modern touches to the business. One of the first things that we did was started using SME marketing to promote our business. The response was great and we have been seeing an increase in business and acquiring many new customers. This has amazed my brothers and I since many of the other pool halls in the area have been struggling.

With all the new business that we have been getting by using this service, we have started forming more and more pool leagues. We have in-house leagues now seven days a week playing in our hall. With the influx of teams we have started using Scheduling Text Messages in order to keep each team informed on league news and updates. Our players really like this service and it has helped keep each team captain very organized an up to date on events.

Since we have started using Scheduling Text Messaging in our family business, our competition cannot figure out our secret for success with the struggling economy, when so many other business in the area have closed. Not only does the text messaging service keep our customers organized and informed, it also helps with keeping our employees up to date with the daily goings on at the pool hall. This service has been one of the best business tools when there are schedule changes or upcoming work meetings that our employees need to know about. This also keeps our employees organized and informed on what is going on the daily operations of our business. This is one new addition to the family business that we are all grateful that we have added.
