How Saffron Loom Cut No-Shows by 33% during Ganesh Chaturthi with Ferbz — a specific, benefit-led headline
Saffron Loom used Ferbz to automate festive appointment confirmations and follow‑ups, slashing no‑shows during Ganesh Chaturthi.
01 — THE CHALLENGE
Running a boutique that relied on pre‑booked styling sessions, Saffron Loom saw a surge in cancellations around Ganesh Chaturthi, hurting sales and staff scheduling.
High cancellation rate
Around 25% of booked appointments were cancelled or never showed up during the festive week.
Manual reminders
Staff spent hours each day calling customers to confirm visits, leading to inconsistent messaging.
Limited insight
The owner lacked a clear view of which messaging tactics actually drove attendance.
02 — THE SOLUTION
Ferbz combined its Appointments, Automation, Broadcasts, and Retention analytics modules to create a seamless, WhatsApp‑based reminder flow.
Appointments
Customers booked slots via an online calendar and received an instant WhatsApp confirmation.
Automation
Ferbz generated a multi‑step WhatsApp journey: reminder 48 hours before, a friendly check‑in 24 hours prior, and a last‑minute ‘see you soon’ message.
Broadcasts
A one‑off festive offer broadcast was sent to all customers, with real‑time delivery and read stats.
Retention analytics
The boutique tracked attendance, revenue per Sale, and message effectiveness across the festival period.
The automated WhatsApp flow reduced manual effort and kept customers engaged throughout the celebration.
