The online software brands barbers need to know about

Coronavirus has changed the way barbershops operate, at least short-term and potentially for good, so it’s more important than ever to choose the right online software to manage your shop.

As only a certain number of people are allowed in a barbershop at any one time due to social distancing, it is essential that you and your team have the right software tools to manage your business from anywhere and at any time.

Gone are the days when you or a member of your team could pop into the barbers unannounced on your day off to ask a question or check how retail sales are going. This means it is vital for you to have access all of your business information wherever you might be.

When it comes to keeping clients loyal, paper stamps are out and digital forms of client marketing are in. If you’re still stuck in the paper age…

Discover the software tools that are taking online bookings and loyalty to the next level. This is sponsored content in association with Timely and Oappso.
