Owners and Managers can see retention numbers for clients for any previous four-month period in the Retention Report. See each business location or all locations at once, and all employees or individual employees. Drill down and see which clients were retained and the tickets associated with their visits.
Note: A client is considered as having visited or being retained once a ticket with services has been processed under their name. Retail, gift card purchases, and any other tickets that do not have services will not count towards this report.
