“How much are text and call reminders?”
They are .05 cents per call or text segment (160 character message, including spaces), plus $1.00 a month for the phone number.
One message goes to one owner for all pets on a scheduled day. Let’s say one owner made an appointment for a litter of six puppies. They would get one phone call, which would say, “you have six animals scheduled for sterilization,” and the charge would be .5 cents, not .30 cents.
To give you a sense of what the cost would be if your clinic does 50 animals a day — and let’s say 70% of those are public appointments and 30% are volume client appointments. That would be 50 * .70 = that would be 35 animals. Now let’s say out of those 35, these work out to 25 owners total (since some owners will be bringing in 2 or 3 pets and will only get one call for those pets) — the system would call 25 owners and charge $1.25. If you’re open five days a week, that will be $6.25 a week, or $25 a month + $1.00 for the phone number (this is not optional) for a total of $26.00 a month.
You can also set up volume client calls and/or texts — they would get one call for all the animals in their appointment on that day — so if a volume client had 30 animals— their call would say, “you have 30 animals scheduled…” — but would only cost .05 cents.
We bill on the 2nd of each month for the previous month, so you only pay for what you use.
