1. It’s no secret that barbers, stylists and most service providers have a host of networking opportunities to support one another. Take advantage of these opportunities to network and learn new industry norms and upcoming changes. As a commitment to giving back to the society, upKeep routinely organizes meet and greet sessions to connect service providers and showcase new industry products and procedures. Keep checking on our website for upcoming events.

2. Over the last year, we increased the incentive to participate in our Referral Program. For a limited time, any upKeep service provider who refers a business owner to upKeep gets $0.50 per service completed by the referred. And that new business owner can also refer other service providers and get the same. Take advantage of this opportunity to earn extra income. Just access your referral link and share it with a friend, so that you can both earn thousands.

3. Another way to grow your business is to be featured on our site's Homepage and search pages. For just an extra $5/week, you'll be listed on the homepage of our website, and on the top of search results. This means that when users around your area visit our site, the first person they see if you (and other featured providers), thereby increasing your chances to be booked by 98%. Also when users search a service, you show up at the top of the search results if you provide that service, and that equally increases your chances of getting booked. We equally showcase your profile below other service provider's pages, only making it better for you.

4. Setup your profile to receive payments online. This drastically reduces the number of cancellations and no show by up to 40%. We have partnered with Stripe to process payments, and make your funds available to you immediately. Take advantage of this feature and setup your stripe account within 2 minutes. With this feature, you can also charge clients cards on file for no-shows, services provided, etc. Users can also leave tips for you on the app.

And the list continues. The opportunities to grow your business with upKeep are endless, the features are out of the box, and we do listen to your needs and make adjustments as needed.
