Why we built TurnUpText
TurnUpText started with one business, one problem, and a monthly bill that made no sense. Here is the story, and who is behind it.
It started with a no-show problem
TurnUpText was built by Founder name (placeholder — to complete) for the business, e.g. a hair salon (placeholder — to complete) in town (placeholder — to complete) — a real business losing real money to no-shows. Every booked slot that quietly went empty was time that could not be sold twice, and there was no simple, reliable way to remind people the day before.
The tools that existed all wanted a monthly subscription for something that should cost pennies a text, and usually bundled it inside a booking system the business did not need and did not want to switch to. So we built the small thing that was actually missing: a simple calendar, an SMS confirmation the moment you book, and reminders that send themselves — paid for with prepaid credits, with nothing to cancel.
It worked for that first business. Then a few other local owners asked for the same thing. TurnUpText is what we opened up to them: the same reminders, minus the subscription.
What we believe
Reminders, not marketing.
TurnUpText is for appointment and service reminders only. We do not allow marketing or bulk messages, and we never sell or share contact data.
Pay for texts, nothing else.
No monthly fee, no contract, no tier to pick. You buy prepaid credits when you need them, and paid credits never expire.
Data handled properly.
Built to support UK GDPR. You stay the data controller for your customers; we process data only to send the reminders you schedule.
