Deposits actually benefit everyone! By setting up a deposit policy, clients are probably more likely to secure their desired time slot because it won’t be taken up by someone who may not show. This means less waiting time and a smoother overall experience.  Having a deposit policy in place shows that you’re a professional and well-run business. Anyone who supports your business will understand that losing money each month because of no-shows and cancellations simply isn’t sustainable. You can anotify clients about your deposit policy on your online booking platform so it’s visible to all clients before they book. You can also let clients know via email.
