Email-to-Text Communication

Text2Email converts incoming client text messages into emails, delivering them directly to the inboxes of your assigned managers. When a manager replies to the email, the response is instantly sent back as a text to the client—creating a seamless two-way conversation. No need to log into the system or use a separate app.

Additional Benefits of Text2Email for Tanning Salons

Enhance the Client Experience

Fast, professional communication shows clients you value their time. Whether it’s booking a session, asking a question, or making changes to their account, they get timely replies—building stronger relationships and long-term loyalty.

Reduce Front Desk Distractions

Your in-salon team can focus on guests and service delivery without juggling texts or phone calls. Off-site managers or assigned staff can respond from their email, helping balance workloads and improve overall customer flow.

Support Membership Questions Anytime

From account freezes to upgrade requests or cancellation questions, your team can handle these via email—even outside regular hours. This helps retain members and respond before clients go inactive.

Great for Multi-Location Salons

Whether you operate two salons or twenty, Text2Email scales with you. Assign managers by location, or centralize communications—ensuring consistent, fast responses across all branches.

Easy for New Staff to Use

There’s no training or extra tools required. If your staff knows how to use email, they can instantly support customers through text—making onboarding fast and reducing the learning curve.

Boost Conversion from Inquiries to Visits

Every missed message is a missed opportunity. By instantly replying to questions about pricing, hours, or promotions, your team can turn casual inquiries into booked sessions and new memberships.

Keep Communication Organized and Transparent

All text conversations are stored and accessible through your team’s email history. This makes it easy to review past interactions, resolve disputes, monitor quality, and train new staff with real examples—all without searching through a separate system.
