Founded in France, Yves Rocher is a global skincare, cosmetics and perfume brand known for its beauty treatment services, including facials. In Hong Kong, its retail stores offer in-person treatments alongside product sales.
To modernize customer engagement and streamline bookings, Yves Rocher partnered with Sanuker to implement WhatsApp Business Platform as a centralized appointment booking solution.
The Challenge
Scaling appointment bookings beyond manual processes
The team wanted to:
- Increase appointment volume
- Improve conversion rates
- Drive more in-store sales
- Reduce operational friction in booking management
The Solution
Designing a WhatsApp-based automated booking experience
The new process allowed customers to:
- Send a WhatsApp message to learn about skincare solutions and treatments
- Receive automated treatment details
- Select their preferred store and service
- Submit booking information within the conversation
After the automated assistant gathered customer details, a beauty advisor followed up directly for consultation.
Once the booking was confirmed:
- Confirmation messages were automatically sent
- Utility messages were used to send appointment reminders
- Customers could contact their selected store within the same thread
To enhance operational flexibility, API solutions enabled simultaneous use of WhatsApp Business Platform and WhatsApp Business app. Staff conducted one-to-one consultations while maintaining centralized visibility through WOZTELL, Sanuker’s inbox solution for monitoring and quality control.
The launch coincided with the opening of a new treatment center in Causeway Bay, supporting a seamless customer journey from digital inquiry to in-store service.
The Results
Measurable impact within three months
Performance was measured from July 15 to October 15, 2025.
Compared to previous phone, in-store and ecommerce processes, WhatsApp Business Platform delivered:
- 21% increase in appointment bookings compared to phone and in-store bookings
- 25% increase in conversions compared to in-store and ecommerce site purchases
- 17% increase in total sales
