Tips to tempt your clients to visit salons
While Wedding season is on and Diwali just around the corner, tap into what your clients’ will need at this time and plan your packages and offers. Plan the ways in which you can spread the word to your clients and also across your suburb.
Here are some ideas you can tweak to your convenience:
- Pick a festive theme and decorate your salon to make your clients feel welcome
- Introduce some new retail products that your clients would love to try, especially post lockdown
- Make festive offers on treatment packages and gift cards for their loved ones
- Create a festive photo booth and get your clients to pose in their new make-over looks
- Connect with your clients via live chats on social media to invite them to visit.
- Talk to your clients about their good and bad experiences with lockdown grooming before their visit
- Hold online consultations to help your clients get the in-salon services of their choice
It’s wedding season too!
Get your brides and grooms to know about your Wedding Specials awaiting them including your pre-wedding skincare packages. While newspaper inserts and ads are great, all you have to do is put in that extra effort through social media like FB, Instagram, Pintrest and Twitter! Post some pictures of your previous
amazing work, client comments etc. and watch them to reach out to you for your beauty services.
Make your bridal clients feel special and important with a Bridal Goody Bag or hamper. These complementary treats are a great way to complement and pamper them after a good service experience they have in your salon!
