Kitomba Everyday Marketing
Automate your marketing using our Everyday Marketing tool to save time, retain your clients, reduce no-shows and keep your appointment book full.
You can automate both SMS and email marketing messages to stay in touch with your clients and keep them coming back.
Send automated messages
With Kitomba Everyday Marketing, you can create and send personalised SMS and email messages automatically.
Some of the most popular automated marketing messages you can set up include:
| Appointment reminders Don’t let your clients forget their appointment by sending a friendly reminder by SMS or email a day or two before their appointment. | Happy Birthday wishes Never miss a client’s birthday by sending them a special message with a discount code to increase their loyalty and encourage them to treat themselves. | Welcome new clients Thank new clients for visiting and encourage them to return (maybe with a special offer to entice them back). |
| Say thanks for referring a friend Automatically thank your loyal clients for spreading the good word! | Product replacement prompts Prompt clients to replace a specific product when they’re next due. They’ll appreciate the reminder! | Touch-up reminders For services that require touch-ups after a specific period of time, remind your clients to book so they can maintain the best results. |
Reduce no-shows and late cancellations
No-shows and last-minute cancellations are a salon owner's worst nightmare. With Kitomba Salon and Spa Software, you can customise your appointment reminders to suit your individual business by choosing what time and how many days before their appointment you want them to be sent out.
You can also fully customise the text on your reminders, so your clients get a personalised message tailored to their appointment that sounds like your brand.
Harness the power of artificial intelligence
Our exclusive integration with REACH.ai in Australia and New Zealand enables Kitomba customers with Online Booking to use the power of artificial intelligence to fill gaps and last-minute cancellations in your appointment book, automatically.
Work smarter, not harder, and let AI do all the heavy lifting with your client communications to help you keep your appointment book full.

Easily create powerful marketing lists
With Kitomba Reports, you can create marketing lists that allow you to get highly targeted with your marketing campaigns.
You can easily create marketing lists to market to, including:
- Clients who haven’t rebooked in the last three months so you can send them a special offer to entice them back.
- Clients who have purchased a specific brand of product that you are having a sale on, so they can stock up.
- Clients who had a specific service such as a facial in the last six months so you can promote your new facial to them.
And so much more!
Set up compelling promotions in minutes
With Kitomba’s promotion functionality, you can set up any promotion in minutes and easily report on its effectiveness, too!
Simply choose a set dollar amount or a percentage, and set an end date or let the promotion run forever. For every promotion you can see who gave the discount, the total number of times it was redeemed, and the overall value of discounts given.

Create beautiful marketing emails
Kmail email template builder
Kmail is Kitomba’s very own template builder. With Kmail you can create custom-designed emails that you can send out with Kitomba’s in-built campaign marketing tool. When you use a Kmail template, you can track and analyse the success of your campaign using Kmail reporting, which has easy-to-understand graphs and all the key performance metrics you need.
Mailchimp integration
If you like using Mailchimp to send marketing emails to your clients, our integration makes this easy. You can use Kitomba 1’s client list feature to filter and segment your clients into groups, and then send those details over to Mailchimp’s system to achieve the best possible results.
"We use the Kitomba Kmail feature in K1 to market to our client database. We use the in-built Mailchimp integration to send our weekly studio updates to our clients. This is a really useful feature that some salons overlook, but there’s a lot of value in reaching out to both your existing clients and those clients you may have not seen for a while with an enticing offer."
