By using customized industry labels, businesses specializing in babysitting services can better communicate the nature of their services to customers.

Ultimately, the adoption of industry labels leads to improved customer satisfaction, employee engagement, and business success.

The Beauty Therapy Industry

The beauty therapy industry encompasses a diverse range of service categories, including makeup, nail salons, beauty salons, tanning, and more. Each of these categories requires specific professionals to deliver the services, making it essential for businesses to have a clear and customized labeling system for their staff members.

Take, for example, a business focusing on makeup services. In this case, the admin users can easily rename their fieldworkers to “Makeup Artists” by following these simple steps:

  1. Log in to your admin user account.
  2. Navigate to “Settings” and click on “Company Settings.”
  3. Click on “Business Details.”
  4. Scroll down to the “Industry Label” section, and rename your fieldworkers accordingly.

Once you have saved the new label, it will be visible in the left-side menu and all related sections of the platform. Fieldworkers will also be able to see the new label under their account, ensuring a more tailored and professional experience for both staff members and customers.

This customized labeling system not only helps businesses present a more cohesive and industry-specific brand image, but it also streamlines communication and organization within the platform. By using industry labels, businesses can ensure that their staff and customers have a clear understanding of the roles and services provided, ultimately leading to increased efficiency, customer satisfaction, and brand loyalty.
