Every Client Conversation. One Inbox.

Instagram DMs, WhatsApp messages, SMS texts, emails, phone calls. Your clients reach out everywhere. Prefero brings every conversation into one unified, AI-powered inbox so nothing falls through the cracks.

The Hidden Cost of Scattered Conversations

The average salon receives inquiries across 4-5 different channels. A client DMs on Instagram asking about pricing, another texts about availability, someone calls during a busy appointment, and an email sits unread for hours. Each missed or delayed response is a lost booking.

67%

of salon inquiries happen outside business hours

5 min

is the max response window before leads go cold

35%

$1,200+

lost monthly from missed inquiries (avg.)
