Slowly but surely another month of 2015 is passing and boy what a month it’s been! Valentine’s Day and Pancake Day all in one week and we can’t lie- we’ve certainly overindulged on the sweet goods! We’ve now entered the promotional period for our ever favourite, Mother’s Day, so without further ado here are our top tips to make your Mother’s Day more special than ever for everyone involved!!
· Together treatments are just essential for Mother’s Day because they give mums what they really want…to spend time with their children! Some angles you could introduce are for every treatment booked by daughter/son, *mum* receives 50% off their final sale price.
· Offer a lunching option! If you can’t provide this at the salon then team up with a local restaurant with great reviews. Work together to provide the perfect Mother’s Day outing which will be enjoyed by both your client and their mum. This also shows you have really gone out of your way to be creative and think about them.
· Not all mums want a specific treatment, or rather, not all children know what they would like, so in the weeks prior to Mother’s Day, create a retail hamper package perfect for the event. With the retail products you use, maybe throw in some extra little goodies that are general i.e best mum calendar or 'number 1 mum' cup that you can be confident will go down a storm! You could even offer a ‘tailored’ package where a client chooses 5 retail products and 5 of their mum’s favourite little things. Custom your prices to fit each client’s needs! This way the mum leaves with a memorable gift and might return to you as a client in the future.
· Offer treatments with flowers and chocolate as an additional little touch. Another great way to team up with local florists or sweet shops maybe to really push each other’s businesses.
· This is our all-time favourite and we stand by it every time! Add value rather than giving a discount! Every treatment your customers purchases book them out a little bit of extra time and really give them a luxury service! Every manicure gets a free 10 minute hand massage, same for a pedicure…here's a link to some more of our ideas to add luxury to every single treatment!
· One of your offers might be 2-4-1 for mum and daughter! You could try and extend this offer to three for two or four for three if want to include sisters and grandmas. This is a great way to up the business intake and really cater for fuller families who want an extra special day out!
· Gift vouchers are always a winner when client is not exactly sure what their mum wants! They might be more targeted toward the males since they usually want something easier where mum can choose her treatment.
· Finally, PROMOTION, the most important part of the whole event! Get in touch with us and make sure you have your SMS texts in time for the big day. Catching your client wherever they are is a great way to entice, especially those who have no idea what their mums might want or are last minute on the gift front. This gives them a push in your direction and allows you to engage with what you can offer them.
Happy Mother's Day...xxx
