Hi all, sorry for the long post.
I would like some advice so I know for the future. I have done bridal parties before but only for normal mani/pedi and offered 10% off. I have done brides and bridesmaids for shellac that come to me as I work from home but not as packages, actually going round someones house. I have been doing nails since june 2009 and shellac since it started and I am very confident and a perfectionist when it comes to nails. I have had an enquiry for 1 x shellac mani/pedi for bride, 1 x shellac mother of the bride and 4 x shellac bridesmaids. We dont know at the moment who wants colour or french and everyone is paying seperate so tried to give a discount making it as simple as possible. Here are my prices so you can get a good idea of what discounts Im offering.
Shellac colour Mani £22/ Pedi £25.
Shellac French Mani £25/Pedi £28.
Rockstars Mani £25/Pedi £28. My rockstars are on special at the moment.
Here is what I offered. Bride can have half price fingers of whatever she chooses, free nail art suggested on 2 ring fingers and a gift, was thinking a bottlle of cava. Some bubbles without the cost of champagne. Everyone else pays normal price.
Can you let me know what you think of my discounts and also what sort of discounts you would normally offer. I have offered 10% before but this is easier if one person is paying and then you can work this out at the end but it is the brides day and she wants to feel special so thought she is better getting the discounts. I will be travelling to the mother of the brides house as well and I normally work from home only so also have setting up/packing away times and travelling expenses as well to think about so I think she has a good deal, but I know I will earn well but it will be hard work. Have also suggested the bride comes and picks the colour she wants for the bridesmaids to make sure I have a new bottle in for that party, will make it easier to get more people done with a nice fresh bottle. Your thoughts are much appreciated.
Thanks Ax
