"We used to lose 20-30 customers a month who just forgot their MOT. Now they all come back. Remindlo paid for itself in the first week."
"Setup took few minutes. Within a month our bookings were up 25%. Best business decision I made this year."
"My customers actually thank me for the reminders. They appreciate not having to remember dates themselves."
Remindlo connects to your customer database and automatically sends SMS reminders before each customer's MOT expires. You set the timing (e.g., 30, 14, and 7 days before), customise the message, and we handle the rest. Customers receive a text with your booking link or phone number.
We recommend a 3-touch approach: 30 days (gives time to plan), 14 days (creates urgency), and 7 days (final reminder). This gives customers multiple opportunities to book while the MOT is still on their mind.
