A 24/7 front desk for Edmundston businesses — never miss a call.

If you run a local business in Edmundston, your phone is one of your most valuable assets — and one of the easiest to drop. Every call that rings out while you're with a customer, after hours, or over a busy weekend is a booking that can walk straight to a competitor. Adventure Movement Studio works with Edmundston-area businesses to put a bilingual 24/7 front desk on every call, add online booking, and turn happy customers into 5-star Google reviews — all set up and run for you, remotely.

Because Edmundston sits in New Brunswick's Madawaska region — one of the most French-speaking cities in Canada outside Quebec, where about 94% of residents speak French — we treat French-first, fully bilingual service as the default, not an add-on.

Who we help in Edmundston

We work with the local service businesses that live and die by the phone and the calendar across Edmundston, Saint-Basile, Saint-Jacques and the wider Madawaska region:

• Barbershops, salons and spas — book appointments while you're behind the chair.
• Clinics, dentists and med spas — capture new patients and cut no-shows with reminders.
• Auto shops and trades (plumbing, HVAC, electrical, landscaping) — answer estimate calls you'd otherwise miss on the job.
• Restaurants, cafes and local retail — handle reservations and questions during the rush.

If customers reach you by phone and book by appointment, we can almost certainly help — in English, in French, or both.

Never miss a call: your 24/7 front desk

Here's the uncomfortable math behind most local businesses. A 2024 study by 411 Locals found that only 37.8% of calls to small businesses were answered by a live person — roughly six in ten go unanswered. And a missed call is rarely a second chance: about 85% of callers never call back, and 62% simply dial a competitor instead.

Our AI receptionist / virtual receptionist picks up every call, day or night, answers your common questions, and books the appointment straight into your calendar. When a call does slip through, missed-call text-back fires an instant text so the caller hears from you in seconds — not from the shop down the street. It's a true 24/7 answering service that never takes a lunch break.

Online booking + reminders

Phone tag costs you bookings. We set up online booking so customers can schedule themselves from your website, Google profile or a text link — then automated reminders and confirmations go out by text and email to slash no-shows. Every reminder, confirmation and follow-up can be sent in the customer's preferred language, French or English, so nothing feels translated or generic.

More Google reviews

Reviews are how Edmundston customers choose between you and the next option: 81% of consumers use Google reviews to evaluate local businesses, and a higher rating measurably lifts revenue. Our 5-star Review Engine automatically asks happy customers for a review at the right moment, routes them to your Google profile, and helps you respond — in both languages — so your reputation compounds while you work.

Automate the busywork

Beyond the phone, we automate the repetitive admin that eats your evenings: new-lead follow-ups, no-show win-backs, appointment reminders, review requests and simple intake. It's the same Business Automation that lets a small Edmundston team punch well above its weight — without hiring. Want the full picture first? See our guide on how to automate your small business.

Why bilingual matters here

Language isn't a nice-to-have in the Madawaska region — it's the relationship. With around 94% of Edmundston speaking French and a cross-border francophone market reaching into Madawaska, Maine, serving people in their own language is a real competitive edge. The research backs it up: 76% of consumers prefer to buy from brands that offer support in their own language. A virtual receptionist that greets callers in French — and switches to English the moment it's needed — meets your customers where they are.
