KUSA - 9NEWS Anchor Cheryl Preheim sat down with 9NEWS Tech Expert Scott Yates this week to talk about three local companies that help businesses improve how they present themselves to visitors entering salons, retail shops, or offices.

Nearly every office or retail business needs to manage its reception area. Walk-in clients or deliveries often demand immediate attention, and a lack of that attention can make the difference between a successful business transaction and a frustrated lost customer.

But hiring a full-time person who only works for a few minutes each day when someone walks in can be prohibitively expensive.

Greetly is custom geared towards small businesses in the service industry like beauty salons, barbers, or nail salons. The concept behind the app is that it can ease the walk-in experience for people with appointments, and help turn visitors into customers.
