This page follows those peaks and shows what to post, what to automate and what reminders customers get.
- Confirmation and reminder emails with a link to view or cancel

Horse country rhythm
Why the Bluegrass calendar shapes your inbox
The thoroughbred industry, horse farms along the country roads, the Kentucky Horse Park and Keeneland give Lexington a calendar that outsiders notice. In April and October, the city fills with visitors, race-day outfits, dinner reservations and hair appointments. In late summer, students return and a whole new group of customers starts searching. In winter, game days pull crowds downtown.
Between peaks, business is local: families in Chevy Chase, the Distillery District crowd, people who have booked with you for years. Your messages follow that shape. So should your posts, and so should the way you handle reminders and cancellations.
The four peaks and what they ask of you
| Peak | Who is writing | What to post | What to set up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring meet at Keeneland | Visitors and locals dressing up for race days | Race-day hours, booking reminders, hat and outfit ideas | Extra staff hours, cancellation window |
| Student move-in | New students and parents | Location, directions, student offers | Chat link on Instagram and Google |
| Fall meet | Returning visitors, bourbon trips | Weekend availability, group tables | Capacity per time slot |
| Basketball season | Fans before and after games | Game-night hours, watch-party posts | Breaks in the calendar for game hours if you close |
You write each post once and send it to the accounts you choose. The queue publishes on time and retries on temporary errors.
A race-day blowout, booked in April
An example exchange, not a real customer. Times come from the salon calendar, which is extra full during the meet.
The 24-hour window is the salon's own cancellation rule, set once in the booking settings.
How reminders and cancellations flow during a meet week
Reminders do the quiet work in a busy week. An illustration of how it runs for a small salon:
- Two weeks outA scheduled post on Instagram and Facebook says race-week slots are open. Bookings arrive through chat.
- At bookingEach customer receives a confirmation email with a link to view or cancel. The owner gets an SMS and email alert.
- Before the appointmentCustomers get a reminder email. Someone whose plans changed cancels through the link, and the slot opens again in the calendar.
- Same dayA new customer asks in chat and gets the reopened slot, because the system sees it as free.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an AYDUKE office in Lexington?
No. AYDUKE is online software without local offices or staff. Setup happens in the panel with guides, and support is on the contact page.
Can the assistant tell customers post times or who is racing?
No. It has no live information and will not guess. It answers from your records and hands off anything else.
We see a lot of no-shows during race week. What helps?
A clear cancellation window, reminder emails with a cancel link, and your policy stated in your posts and in the assistant's records. Freed slots reappear in the calendar for the next customer.
We are a farm venue outside town with no website. Can people still book tours?
Yes. Use the chat link and QR code on Instagram, Facebook and your Google Business Profile.
