The situation
A new wellness recovery centre preparing to launch, with strong services and facilities and no digital presence at all: no website, no online booking, and every process manual.
Reservations and confirmations would have needed reception staff to handle. A token-based membership scheme was going to be tracked by hand. There was no CRM behind any of it, nothing to turn an enquiry into a member, and no way to upsell or re-engage anyone. The founders wanted this solved before opening rather than discovered afterwards, on a budget under $5,000 and without committing to heavy ongoing subscriptions.
What we found
- Reservations and confirmations requiring reception staff to handle by hand
- Token-based memberships tracked manually
- No CRM for lead tracking, and no nurture turning enquiries into members
- No mechanism to upsell or re-engage a client once they had visited
What we built
- 1A mobile-responsive site with an integrated booking widget and payment processing, live in the first week
- 2A booking workflow covering service selection, real-time availability, automated confirmations by text and email, and staff notifications
- 3A CRM holding booking history, segmentation and lead scoring
- 4A token membership system handling purchase, allocation, usage tracking and renewal alerts through a member self-service portal
- 5Nurture campaigns covering a welcome series, educational content, membership upsells and re-engagement
- 6Appointment reminders and campaigns aimed at retention and utilisation
- 7A dashboard reporting bookings, revenue and engagement in real time
What is expected
Nothing in this section is a measured result. Any before-and-after figures are the delivered system as the client reports it, and everything else is a projection from measurements taken before the build.
- Live in three weeks: site, booking and payments in week one, membership and nurture in week two, testing and go-live in week three
- Four to six hours of client time in total across those three weeks
- Delivered under the $5,000 budget, with the client owning the systems outright
What has and has not been measured
This is published as a build record rather than a results record. The centre had not opened when the system went live, so there is no before period to measure against and no post-implementation data yet. The source document quotes a projected $108,000 annual benefit across reception savings, after-hours booking capture, conversion and retention; that figure is modelled from industry averages rather than measured in this business, and it is deliberately not published as a result here.
The client’s name is withheld by agreement. The figures are unaltered.
