First you will need to navigate to the products section where you can add in your product categories. 

To add the category click the '+' button.

Then type in your category e.g. Gift Vouchers

Then to add in your gift voucher pricing click on your new 'Gift Vouchers' category and select 'add' 

Here you can add in your gift voucher name by typing in the description

How to Prepare your Salon for the Busy Months

Now that Spring and Summer are approaching, this is when the busiest salon period starts. This applies to all salons, but especially tanning. Customers will be eager to get their holiday appointments booked in, so that they have their bouncy blowdrys, fresh lash extensions and build up that base tan before their Spring and Summer get-aways.

With this in mind, you should be preparing your salon for the busy months ahead. This blog will give you the tips and tricks needed to ensure you are ready for the holiday rush!

 

Tanning Tubes

If you are a tanning salon, a vital part of your preparation will be ensuring your sunbeds are retubed! At Salon Tracker, we recommend your sunbed tubes get replaced after 850 hours of usage. Retubing your sunbeds is an essential part of ensuring your customers have a deep, long-lasting tan, as the UV rays will be stronger.

You made need to warn customers to reduce their regular minutes by 3, as the first 100 hours of the new sunbed tubes will be more intense than usual.

 

Retail Stock

An essential preparation technique for every type of salon is re-stocking their retail products for the Spring and Summer! As customers will be coming in more regularly, they are more likely to purchase retail products along with their visits. This means your salon will need to be ordering in more retail products for this period.

If you are a tanning salon, we recommend purchasing your retail products from Bliss. They sell sunbed creams, sachets, tan shots, goggles and many more products!

We would also recommend them for stocking up on salon supplies such as sunbed sanitiser, hand towels, head rests, posters, sachet displays etc. for if you also need a restock of these supplies to prepare you for the busy period!

Enterprise Package

Salon Tracker is an essential when it comes to busy periods in salons. Our Enterprise package is a great way for customers to be able to book in advance for appointments and sunbed slots, to receive their desired date and time without having to be added to a waiting list in busy periods.

Our Enterprise package also allows you to access reports, take-ins, bookings and customers remotely and can be accessed on any type of device, meaning that if you do not have time to run reports while in the salon, these can be run from anywhere at any time.

Our Enterprise package is £90/month + VAT, and has many more important features. Give us a call on 0113 350 8230 today to enquire about upgrading!

 

Marketing

Marketing is a useful tool to use during busy periods. Encouraging customers to book in advance will mean that they will be able to receive the desired date and time they prefer as if they try to walk in or book too late during a busy period, they may face disappointment.

If you are on our Enterprise package, marketing your online booking link on your social media pages is a great way to encourage customers to book in advance so they can get their appointments before it’s too late.

If you are on our Professional/Enterprise package, sending out marketing emails and SMS texts are great ways of reminding customers to get that appointment booked in that they have been thinking about. This can be done in the ‘Marketing’ section of Salon Tracker.

To purchase SMS credits or for help connecting your Mailchimp account to Salon Tracker, just give us a call on 0113 350 8230 and we will be happy to help!

 

All of these features are great ways to prepare your salon for the busy months coming!

Valentines Day Marketing

Valentine’s day is just around the corner and for many people it’s the perfect day to spoil your loved ones. This blog will discuss how your salon can make the most of this day! There are three simple steps involved in making a success of this day: Planning, Marketing and Selling. So, keep reading to see how you can upsell your treatments and retail products this Valentine's Day.

Planning

Before you can go out and start advertising your deals and offers it’s important to determine which of your services and retail products are going to be most popular for V-day sales. To make your salon more appealing for those looking at treating a loved one, it’s a good idea to bundle a few treatments together and create a special ‘Valentine’s Day Package’. You could do a few different priced packages to appeal to a broader range of people, starting with a couple of services for a lower price and going up to a more premium price and including your more expensive services in these packages. The same can be done with your retail products by putting together a few different priced hampers. The key is to figure out which of your treatments will perform best, whether its massages, nails, facials etc.

Another great way to utilise Valentine’s Day is by selling gift vouchers, you could even get specific ones printed for Valentines day and give them a bit more of a personalised feel. Gift cards also often result in people spending more as they know they’re going to be getting say £20-£30 off, so it’s a win-win as a salon owner.

Gift hampers are also a great idea during this period! It's so quick and easy to create a bundle full of the products you sell in your salon (maybe even some that are not usually as popular to promote them) - you could even add in a gift voucher into this to make it an extra special gift!

Marketing

Once you’ve done all of your planning, it’s time to market it to your customers and target customers. As we all know by now, the main place you want to be showing off these deals is across your Social Media platforms, as this will not only help reach your current customers, but it will also help to reach potential new customers! Especially with Instagram and Facebook having an option for customers to share your posts, it will further help to reach a wider range of people. 

The best way to market your offer is by creating an eye-catching post to make sure it stands out amongst others when someone is scrolling through their feed. Canva is a great tool for this with loads of templates and images you can use! You can then use the same image across all of your social media platforms, and this will help to show consistency. Here’s an example of one that I quickly made by using a template, to show you how easy it is:

You also want to make sure that you make it obvious in your physical salon that there are going to be deals available, for example on your reception desk it would be a good idea to place the hampers in view, along with any gift vouchers.

If you are already a customer of Salon Tracker, then I’m sure you already know about our Marketing suite. If not, this is a great feature built in with Salon Tracker that enables you to send out an SMS message to all of your customers straight from one place. There are plenty of different filters that you can apply in order to target a specific range of customers. I have come up with a few examples of messages you could send out:

Example 1

“Hi <<forename>>

Don’t miss out on our V-Day deals! £45 for acrylic nails & a facial, £60 for a back massage, mani, pedi & facial! Call 0113 350 8230 to book”

Example 2

“Hi <<forename>>

Treat your loved one this Valentine’s Day at <<salonname>> for as little as £20! Call 0113 350 8230 to book before it’s too late” 

Example 3

“Give your partner the ultimate Valentine’s Day treat at <<salonname>> with our V-Day Special! Full Body Massage, Facial & Mani for just £45. Call 0113 350 8230 to book!”

SMS messages have a great open rate of around 98%, so it’s a great way to directly market your customers. By using both the SMS marketing suite and the use of social media, you are massively increasing your chances of having a successful number of sales.

Selling

After all of your planning and preparation I’m sure it will all pay off when it comes to the day. As Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday this time, it makes it an even better opportunity to make the most of it, as you can extend the offers and deals to run until the end of Sunday and ensure that your calendar is fully booked!

I hope these tips will help you have a successful Valentine’s Day weekend in your salon!
