Weekend Warriors Weekday Push
Offer clients who only book weekends a weekday incentive to balance your schedule and reduce weekend pressure.
Quick Answer
A Weekend Warriors campaign identifies clients who exclusively book Saturday or Sunday appointments and offers them a small incentive to try a weekday slot. This balances your schedule, reduces weekend overbooking pressure, and can increase overall capacity utilisation by filling quieter midweek periods.
Your weekends are packed while your weekdays have gaps. Clients who only book weekends create scheduling pressure, and you cannot add more weekend capacity without hiring. Meanwhile, perfectly good weekday slots sit empty, costing you potential revenue.
Identify weekend-only bookers and pitch the convenience of weekday appointments: less waiting, quieter environment for anxious pets, and a small price incentive. Position it as a premium experience, not a consolation prize.

Step-by-step guide to running a Weekend Warriors Weekday Push campaign
Identify weekend-only bookers
Filter clients whose last 3+ appointments were all on Saturday or Sunday.
Understand their constraints
Most weekend bookers work full-time. Consider offering early morning (before work), late afternoon (after work), or drop-off/pickup service to remove the barrier.
Frame the benefit
"[PetName] gets a quieter, more relaxed experience on weekdays, plus you save [X]% on your booking." Lead with the pet benefit, not the discount.
Offer a trial incentive
10-15% off their first weekday booking, or a free add-on. Just enough to get them to try it once.
Convert the trial
After their first weekday visit, follow up: "How was [PetName]'s weekday visit? Would you like to make this your regular slot?"
