Holidays are such busy moments in the year that hairdressers focus on maintaining the books, setting up appointment, running through the day with backed up appointments, but simple things, like retail and social media fall to the back of the list.
Sonya Latreille, Schwarzkopf Professional PR & Digital Media Manager & OSiS+ Senior Brand Manager, provides salon owners with the best practices for promote gift sets and services during the holidays on social media:
(1) Start simple. Use your social media platform to get the word about your gift sets. Curate attention-grabbing promotions throughout the holidays. Your promotions should act as the ultimate gift guide that provides the perfect gift idea for everyone on your customer’s lists. For instance, if you’re looking to get your kid’s teacher’s a gift? We’ve got A+ gifts at our salon.
(2) Have a selfie station at your salon with fun props. Encourage clients to take photos and tag your salon in it for a chance to win. This will help increase awareness for your salon while showing off your amazing work.
Best practices for salon owners to boost retail numbers during the upcoming holiday season: Implement a sliding pricing strategy, where prices are highest at the beginning of the season and lowest by Christmas Eve. But don’t forget last minute deals are all about “supplies are running out” not “help us get through all this!”
