Common Mistakes

  • Contáctame para reprogramar.

    ‘Contáctame’ means ‘contact me’, not ‘contact us’. Use ‘contáctanos’ for a group or organization.

  • Contáctanos para reprogramación.

    ‘para reprogramación’ turns the verb into a noun and sounds less natural in this call‑to‑action context.

  • Contáctanos para reprogramarlo.

    The infinitive should stand alone after ‘para’; adding ‘lo’ creates an unnecessary object pronoun.

Alternatives

  • Llámanos para reprogramar.

    Call us to reschedule.

  • Envíanos un mensaje para reprogramar.

    Send us a message to reschedule.

  • Ponte en contacto con nosotros para reprogramar.

    Get in touch with us to reschedule.

Cultural Tip

In Spanish‑speaking customer service, the imperative with an enclitic pronoun (e.g., ‘contáctanos’) is common and sounds friendly yet professional. Avoid overly formal constructions like ‘por favor, póngase en contacto con nosotros’, unless you’re addressing a very formal audience.
