The festive December season is undoubtedly the highlight of the year in the world of salons, as everyone wants to dress up and shine during the Christmas and New Year celebrations and get-togethers. But when the holiday season comes to a close, a challenge arises and many salon owners wonder how to keep the salon busy.
In this blog post, we’re going to share some suggestions that can help you keep your salon busy year-round, even after the holiday rush is over, and how you can use this quieter time to your salon’s benefit.
Various services throughout the year
To keep customers interested, consider the variety of services you offer in the salon.
It is important to follow trends and expand your offer with new techniques or treatments based on this.
With this, you can attract new customers, and existing ones who are satisfied with your services will be happy to support you and try new services.
Loyalty program
You can introduce a loyalty program that is active throughout the year. But before you implement it, it’s important to research and analyze what your customers really value.
They may want more frequent discounts on certain services, or they may be more attracted to free additional services. Understanding their needs is the key to the success of the program.
You can also include birthday benefits and offer customers a discount on their favorite service on their birthday.
Upgrade your online presence
The web has become an indispensable tool for maintaining a strong connection with customers even after the holiday season has passed. In order to maintain interest and attract customers after the holidays are over, the following steps are essential.
1. Updating the website
The website is often the first contact customers have with the salon. Make sure that the website is transparent and that all important information about your salon is listed. Also add updated photos and information about any of your services or products.
2. Activities on social networks
Regular social media posting plays a key role in maintaining your salon’s presence in the digital world. On social networks such as Instagram, TikTok and Facebook, share moments from the salon, the results of your services, customer reviews, current discounts, cosmetic or hairdressing trends, hair and skin care tips and other useful content with your customers.
3. Email newsletters
Harness the power of email newsletters to communicate directly with your customers. Inform them about special offers and discounts, as well as novelties in the salon. Personalized email newsletters make customers feel like you’ve taken the time for them, which is key to maintaining a good relationship.
4. Using the customer booking system
Make it easy for customers to book appointments with advanced online booking systems. One of the main advantages of using the booking system, which all customers will no doubt be delighted with, is that they can secure their appointment anywhere and at any time, even outside of your salon’s opening hours.
At the same time, you provide yourself with an excellent overview of all appointments and business and thus save a lot of time, which you can rather devote to the implementation or promotion of your services.
Upgrade your knowledge
The quiet time that follows the festive period is a valuable opportunity for personal and professional development.
One of the great ways to make the most of this time is to participate in various trainings and courses. With this, you gain a lot of new knowledge and experience, which further enriches your work in the salon.
At the same time, with new skills and knowledge, you will become even more competitive among salons in the beauty industry market. With continuous education, you will raise the salon to a higher level, which will attract new customers and increase the satisfaction of existing ones
Although the period after the holidays is a big one for many salon owners, we are sure that by following the suggested tips, you can ensure that your salon remains lively and full of satisfied customers, both existing and new, during this time as well.
