Visit www.beautster.com, login, and click the ‘My Dashboard’ tab at the top of the screen. Next, click ‘My Business Reporting’. You will then be directed to the statistics dashboard, where you can view graphs which analyze your sales, clients, and services over a period of time.

Beautster’s sign-up process is quick and easy! Follow our step-by-step instructions below and start optimizing your business. Let’s get started: 1. Go to www.beautster.com 2. Click on Sign Up dropdown menu on the top right-hand corner and select ‘For Business’ 3. Click the blue ‘Start for Free’ button, which will take you to the registration page. Here, you can sign-up by logging-in with your Google/Gmail login or entering your email address. 4. Sign-up with your e-mail or Gmail login information 5. If you choose the email option, fill out your basic information in the form provided. If you choose Gmail, your information will be filled-out automatically. 6. Tell us a little about your business - your business name, full address, phone number and hours of operation. These are all important details and will bring you one step closer to getting your business listed and earning income. 7. Select the services you offer to clients and select the price and length of each service offered. Please select at least 1 service, price, and duration in order to continue to the next step. You can come back to this step later and continue customizing your Service Menu and pricing. 8. List all of your current Staff/Employees or click next if you are the sole owner and work independently. 9. Upload examples of your work to your profile and ensure you assign a photo of your work to each service offered. No photos means your business won’t be discovered on Beautster’s image search and you’ll miss-out on a major stream of Beautster clients. 10. The final step is setting up your Online Payment and No-Show/Last-Minute Cancellations Protection. In today’s fast-paced, digital world, it’s important to allow clients to pay you online, but what’s even more important is being able to recover lost revenue resulting from no-shows and last-minute cancellations. You’re finished! You’ll now be redirected to your new Beautster profile, where you can begin entering your business location, create deals, add services and so much more. We know you will love your new profile and your customers will be glad you’re easily accessible and searchable on a unique online marketplace for Beauty and Wellness services. Get out there and start sharing your shiny new profile link!

Beautster has modernized receiving payment for your services and we’ve made it a breeze for both you and your customers. By allowing clients to secure their appointment with a credit card at their time of booking, there’s no need to swipe Credit Cards at your Front Reception as payment information is securely stored in your client’s Beautster customer profile. All payments processed through Beautster's convenient Online Payment feature include a 3.25% Credit Card processing fee and will be deposited into the Bank Account associated with your Beautster Professional account. Once fully activated, transfers for payments will be deposited directly into your account within 2 to 3 business days. Let's get started: If you haven’t activated our Online Payments feature yet, you’ll first need to create a No-Show and Late Cancellation Policy. This includes choosing between our ‘Easy’, ‘Medium’ or ‘Hard’ cancellation policy. Choose the policy the best suited your business needs, and select “Save Changes.” Note: Activating a no-show policy will require that clients enter a credit card when booking with you – this feature can be disabled once payments have been activated. You will need to enter your Banking information, including your Transit, Account and Institution Number so you can start receiving deposits. Next, verify your identity to prevent payment delays and click “Complete Account Set-Up”. Once payments have been activated and deposited into your account, you will receive an email notification. Great, you’re ready to start receiving payments!

Now that you’ve set up your Beautster profile, it’s time to let your clients know that they no longer have to call you to schedule appointments. Here are a few tips to get the word out about your Beautster profile! 1) Know your Beautster profile URL! Once you’ve created your profile on Beautster, you’ll have your very own booking website that clients can visit to book with you. Each Beautster booking link begins with: www.beautster.com/ and generally ends with your Beautster ID in the format of “First Name-Last Name”. Click on ‘My Account’ to view your Beautster ID. 2) Add your Beautster URL to your Instagram Bio If you’re looking for an excellent way to generate traffic to your Beautster profile, copy and paste your Beautster booking page link right into your Instagram bio. Including your unique link means that clients who view your Instagram photos can instantly jump to your profile and book their next appointment with you. To edit your Instagram Bio, open the Instagram app and tap ‘Edit Your Profile’ at the top right corner of the screen, add your booking link: www.beautster.com/____ in the Website section and click 'Submit'. 3) Share your Beautster profile on Facebook and Twitter! Don’t be shy, letting your Facebook friends and Twitter follows know about your profile is also an excellent way to drive more traffic and bookings! Beautster makes it super easy for you to share your profile on Facebook and Twitter. If you're using a mobile device, visit www.beautster.com on your mobile browser and log-in. Next, select the ‘More’ tab and click on ‘My Profile’. Finally, click ‘Promote Profile’ at the bottom of the screen. 4) Tell your clients about your Beautster profile page during their appointments It’s easy to dive right into the consultation and appointment and forget to mention your newly activated online booking feature before your client leaves. Make it a habit to let clients know that they can pre-book their next appointment using Beautster or that they can visit your Beautster profile to book 24/7 when they’re ready. 5) Mention your Beautster profile in your voicemail message! Take charge of your business and let your clients know that they can book their appointments online and mention your profile’s web address so they can easily find it. Here’s a great example: “Hello, you’ve reached you can book an appointment instantly online by going to www.beautster.com/______, or leave a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can” 6) Print the URL of your Beautster profile on your business cards As a business owner you already have business cards, so include your Beautster booking link on them! Get creative and think outside the box – there are so many ways to spread the word about your newly launched Beautster page!

Once your profile is complete, you'll be listed in both our Client Search Directory and Image Search Directory. If a client searches you by name or a service you offer in their area, you will appear in their search results and they’ll be able to book with you. Here are some great tips to increase your rank in our directory and be found by more local clients: 1) Activate Online Booking! Activating Beautster’s Online Booking feature is the first step to reaching more clients! Clients use Beautster to find professionals they can conveniently book online, so we'll always promote professionals who have online booking turned on over those that don't. You can easily turn this feature on by visiting your ‘My Business’ page and selecting ‘Service Menu’. Here, you can toggle between on and off - don't forget to click ‘Save’ in the upper right-hand corner after you’ve made changes. 2) Add your appointments into your Beautster calendar When you or a client books an appointment through Beautster, this actually gives you a slight boost within our directory. That's because we want to make sure that we're only sending clients to active professionals. If you have some upcoming appointments you haven't added to your Beautster Calendar yet, be sure to add them to get a quick boost. 3) Encourage your clients to book with you online! While booking appointments over the phone can definitely do the job, appointments booked by your clients through your profile actually count for more and give a larger boost to our system. If a client wants to book with you, be sure to encourage them to visit your Beautster profile (Beautster.com/____) and book their appointment online. 4) Get more Reviews Reviews also impact your Beautster rank - the more you have, the higher you'll appear! Beautster helps you by sending your clients a link asking them to leave a rating and written review after their appointment. That's yet another reason to make sure you add all of your appointments into your Beautster Schedule. Not only will you get a boost for adding the appointments, you'll also start generating more reviews and building your reputation on our Marketplace. Note: If your client does not have an email address stored in your client list, a review request will automatically be sent as a text message notification. 5) Activate your online payment feature Beautster’s Online Payment tool is quick, convenient and easy to use! We also boost professionals who have activated their online payment feature. To activate Online Payment, visit: https://www.beautster.com/stripe/connect/ 6) Upload at least 5 high-quality photos of your work To upload a photo, log in to your account and click on ‘My Business’ at the top right-hand corner. Click on ‘Manage Photos’ and upload images from your computer, mobile device or easily import your photos from your Instagram account. Tip: The more high-quality images you include, the more attractive your profile will be to customers searching Beautster daily. 7) Include a Profile Photo Introduce yourself to customers by adding a profile photo - simply click on ‘My Account’ at the top right-hand corner and upload your profile photo. Tip: Whether it’s a headshot or a photo of your work, make sure your Profile Photo is eye-catching and inviting. 8) Create a comprehensive Service Menu including Prices Show your clients what you have to offer and be sure to include new or specialty services. To add services or update your Service Menu, click ‘My Business’ and ‘Service Menu’, then add/edit your services. Tip: Update your Service Menu whenever you make changes, and send notifications to your entire Client List to let them know about your exciting updates! * Don’t forget to click “Save Service” once you are finished. As you can see, there are a few variables designed to bump your profile to the top of Beautster’s search results. The order of appearance in our search results depends on the relevance of keywords between the searched item and the pages being searched. For instance, if your Beautster profile lists you as a Nail Artist in Calgary and you offer a manicure as one of your services, someone who types in ‘manicure, Toronto’ , will receive your profile in their search results, though not necessarily on the first page. Proper service titles, reviews, location/contact information, and profile/gallery photos are highly important because they help to boost your search ranking. Make sure you use the correct words and write simple descriptions when defining your profession and services. These provide the keywords that will help your page show up in search results. A client won’t typically search ‘Fabulously Fierce French Manicure’, But they will search ‘Manicure’ or ‘French Manicure’. 9) Include an About Me Once again, introduce yourself to customers and tell them what you’re passionate about, your specialties and your latest training or experience. Customers expect high-quality professional services, so promote yourself and talk yourself up a bit! Add your ‘About Me’ by clicking on ‘My Business’ then ‘Business Info’, tap into the ‘About Business’ box and type your About Me content. * Remember to click ‘Save’ in the top right-hand corner once you’ve made your edits.

Creating your Service Menu: - Log into your Professional Account and click ‘My Business’ on the top right-hand menu. - Click ‘Service Menu’ and select add/edit your services. - Tap ‘Save’ once you have finished creating or editing your services.
