The experience doesn’t end when the activity finishes. In fact, that moment right after a customer walks out your door is when they are most receptive to your brand. Yet so many businesses let this golden window of engagement close without a word. If you aren't utilising post-activity follow-ups, you are leaving revenue on the table.
Why Automations Matters
At Sailia, we’ve analysed the performance of our users' campaigns and see an average 72% open rate on emails sent immediately after an activity.
To put that into perspective, the industry standard for follow-up emails sits at around 45%. That’s a massive gap. This demonstrates that when your timing is right, your customers want to hear from you.
Sending those emails manually can be impossible when you are busy managing your day-to-day operations. This is why automated communications are essential for any modern experience business. With Sailia, you set up the workflow once, and the software handles the rest, with no manual input required.
And by including referral offers or discount codes in these messages, you turn a simple follow-up into a regular source of new customers and growth. You are reaching engaged customers at the exact moment they are most likely to book again or refer a friend.

Sailia Automated Communications: What makes them so powerful?
Our automated communications aren't just about sending messages; it’s about sending the right messages. Features include:

Personalisation: Speak directly to your customer, not just to a database entry.
