12 Months of Marketing for Salon and Spa: Ideas, Events and Promotions for Salon and Spa | Elizabeth Kraus | With the economic downturn of the past several years and continued slow consumer spending projected to last for the foreseeable future, beauty industry professionals have seen clients extend the time between routine salon services by an additional two weeks (or more) and an increasing number of clients are doing their own hair color and purchasing more hair and skin care products from retail stores. In the spa segment the disparity between the old normal and the new normal is even greater. * How can new stylists and estheticians carve out clientele as they launch their career? * What can industry professionals at any stage of their career do to create a new normal that transcends economic factors? * What should they be doing to take control of their business, growth of their client base, retail sales and income? With so few books available specifically written for this industry, 12 Months of Marketing for Salon and Spa is especially relevant to the owner, manager or individual professionals within the industry whether they want to revitalize their business or are just launching their career. The health and future of salon and spa professionals depends upon reinstating their role as experts, creating a bigger role for themselves in the lives of their clients, and a more present, influential role for their business within their communities. You can evolve the salon or spa into a social, tribal site for clients that blurs the lines between their service appointments and their social, professional and family lives. | |
