Children in Need at the salon!

Children in Need is fast approaching and here at Salon Tracker, we aim to help our clients to raise as much money as they can for the event. Salons are a really great place to fund raise because you have a wide accessibility to your target audience. Sometimes half the battle of fundraising is actually deciding what to do, which is where we come in. Below you can find multiple fun campaign ideas that you can run in your salon! Enjoy!

Back to school!

There are mounds of people who seek to learn all things hair and beauty. Is it feasible for you to open your salon for an extra day for one week only to do an expert masterclass? All entry tickets can be charged at £5 for the day with all sales being donated to Children In Need. You can even charge for tea and coffee throughout the day or cupcakes etc with full donations going to Children in Need.

Roll out the red!

If lessons aren’t particularly for you, why not think about hosting an event where you can offer a few activities for your clients to partake in? This could even involve children of your clients by having mini pamper days for them and their friends with treatments such as glitter nails and tootsies, hair cuts, mini facials and mummy and me packages! 

Playing Dress Up!

Add some zest to the event by getting all staff to dress up! With it being Children in Need, you can be as creative as you like. Think pajamas, superheroes, celebrities, animals or eras in history! Make sure you tell all of your clients why you are dressing up. It’s best to hold a sign asking politely for donations so clients do not feel obliged. State the cause and maybe some statistics about how their donation will contribute.

Cake stall

Having a cake stall is a fail-safe idea and a great way to raise extra money throughout the course of the day. If you ask staff and family friends nicely they might be willing to bake and donate to the cause so that you can offer clients a mini snack during treatments. This is also a great time so give clients a bit of information about the cause (make sure you use your sales techniques)! 

Complimentary treatments

Are there any treatments that you can offer to clients throughout the day as a way to upsell? For example with every pedicure you could throw in a foot massage and ask clients to rate it out of 10 with a monetary prize. Hopefully everyone will rate you high since all donations would go to charity!

Raffles and Lucky Dips!

Another great way to engage your clients. Offer raffles and lucky dips throughout the day with a fantastic prize of one of your bestselling 3 treatments. Make sure you take all of the contact details and email addresses of your clients so you can thank them for their participation and welcome them back at another time.

We fully support BBC Children in Need’s vision! Every little helps!
