Why NotifyGrid

Built so the chair never sits empty.

A barbershop on a slow Monday isn't a marketing problem — it's a communication problem. Your customers want to come. They just forgot. NotifyGrid is the simplest way to remind them, in the channel they actually open.

§ 01 · The Reality

Empty chairs cost more than full ones.

A slow week isn't bad luck — it's a feedback loop you can break with one text.

You already know your regulars. You know which Tuesdays are dead. You know exactly which 30 customers haven't been in for six weeks. The gap isn't information — it's action. Sunday night you tell yourself you'll call them. Monday morning you don't.

Email lives in spam. Social posts reach 5% of your followers if you're lucky. Calling 137 people is a full Sunday you don't have. Meanwhile the chair sits open. The next month's rent doesn't.

The math is brutal: one missed regular is roughly $40–60 of margin gone. Twenty of them across a slow week and you've eaten an entire day of revenue. Texting them costs a penny apiece.

§ 02 · Why Text

Email gets ignored. Text gets read.

The honest comparison, with the numbers people don't quote at conferences.

SMS

Open rate, within 3 minutes

A text isn't filtered, sorted, or scrolled past. It buzzes. It gets read. Almost always before lunch.

Texting isn't trendy — it's just where the attention actually is. Every grandmother, every teenager, every loyal regular reads their SMS. Use the channel they're already in.

§ 03 · Why us

Built for the counter.
Not the conference room.

A real human

One person built it. Same person answers.

If something breaks, James picks up. If you have an idea for a feature, James reads it. There's no support tier, no bot first-line, no offshore queue. Just a phone number and a person.

Direct line · founder-supported
Unlimited customers

Pay for what you send — not for what you store.

Most platforms charge per contact. We don't. Import your whole client book — 200, 2,000, 20,000 — same plan. Your monthly cost is tied to volume, the only thing that matters.

Unlimited contacts · every plan
Two-way replies

They text back. You see it.

One inbox. No shared phones, no lost threads. When a regular replies "yes, 2pm works," you see it next to your composer. Confirmations get easy. Conversations stay in one place.

The Sunday-night problem,
solved on a Friday.

"Used to spend my Sunday nights calling every regular to fill Monday's book. Now I write one text on Friday, hit send, and Monday's booked by lunch. NotifyGrid paid for itself the first weekend."

Backed by people, not bots.

Three voices on what it actually feels like to use this thing.

I texted James at 9pm because I broke something. He replied in 4 minutes. From a shop owner — that's the entire pitch right there.

I'm not a marketing person. I cut hair. NotifyGrid is the only software I've used that didn't require me to become someone else first.

I got my first booking 14 minutes after my first text went out. I'd been on the platform for less than an hour. I was hooked.
