Clinic Marketing & Occupancy Strategies

Keeping the diary strong is rarely about one single big campaign — it’s usually the result of many small, consistent actions working together. This page is designed to provide managers with practical ideas and tools to help build occupancy during slower periods.

Mindbody Smart Marketing

 

Use Mindbody’s built-in marketing tools to help drive bookings and fill quieter periods.

 

Fill Slow Days - How to set up Fill Slow Days (Marketing Suite)

 

Fill Slow Days is a Mindbody Smart Marketing tool that identifies quieter days in the upcoming week and automatically sends promotional booking offers to selected clients. It helps improve future occupancy by encouraging clients to book into days with lower utilisation before the week begins.

Fill Last Minute Openings - How to set up Fill Last Minute Openings (Marketing Suite)

 

Fill Last Minute Openings focuses on short-notice availability, helping fill gaps in the diary over the final 1–2 days before appointments. It’s particularly useful for reducing same-day and next-day downtime caused by cancellations or under booked shifts.

 

Boost Campaigns - Marketing Suite: How to run a special using a Boost or scheduled campaign (Booker)

Here are a few subject line prefix options that feel warm, professional, and not overly “salesy” that you can build on:

  • A little extra availability at No More Knots…

  • Time to recharge…

  • Your body will thank you…

  • Need a reset this week?

  • Some appointments just opened up…

  • Your next massage might be waiting…

  • A few spots have become available…

  • Take a moment for yourself…

  • Recovery starts here…

  • Feeling tight, sore, or stressed?
