Marketing your hair salon & spa is important in improving the volume of your services, treatments, and products. One of the best ways to do it is by getting a reputable marketing company to help you with the “outside the salon” type marketing pieces. Here’s some hair salon & spa marketing ideas for you to try going into 2017. Things to do at the salon level:

• ?Partner with local photographers who need hair stylist for their shoots. This can improve your portfolio and really make it stand out. ?Make sure everyone in your salon comes in looking their best, hair and all. Their appearance sets the tone for the professionalism and quality of the salon. ?Gift your clients with a Gift of Purchase (GWP) when they spend a certain amount of treatments, services, and even products. It’s a great way to reward them and they’ll leave your salon knowing you value their continued service. ?Stay up-to-date on the latest styles and trends in your local area. Use the local styles to promote some specials that will appeal to your local clientele. ?Set your prices accordingly. If you price your services too low, clients may assume that the work is subpar. However, if you decide to raise your prices above the local average, your clients won’t be able to afford to come back regularly and will begin looking elsewhere. Touch-ups and quick add-on services should be priced lower to get your clients to repeat visits more often. ?Keep your salon & spa looking it’s best and create an inviting, professional, and clean look from the moment someone steps into your salon. Clients notice a well-kept salon and will be more likely to recommend your salon & spa to their friends and associates.
