Hello geeks,
i am in the process of building up my self employed side of my work life, i thought about doing guests that stay in hotels, thought it would be a good idea for ppl who are wedding guests or just come to my city for a weekend break or something and fancy a quick blowdry, hair up-whatever the case maybe.
I've gone to hotels in the past to do wedding hair mainly and these people have googled me and that's how it's happened. But what if i aproached hotels and worked out some kind of deal with the hotel for them to offer another service to their guests and for them to use me.
The idea seems ok but now here come the flaws What can i give the hotel to make this deal stick eg they get 20% of what work they get me??
I would have to use the guests room so i wouldnt be using a space in the hotel so not going to want to give a lot to the hotel as they wont be selling me as such, just if anyone asks they give my name and number .
This could be a last minute game, what if i have bookings already with my home hair and a hotel guest calls up wanting their hair done there and then??
Would you leave certain slots for these ppl IF they call up?? for example every friday 4-7 every saturday 8-11 then 4-6??? just throwing this out there lol
Does anyone do this? It seems like it could be a good idea but then as said above how on earth would you work it???
thanks for any advice geeks.
Need to seriously get some ideas and build up some kind of 'regular' income in the next month or 2, i hate my salon job and i given myself a deadline of september buts looking like i'm going to have t extend it!!
ps i have looked at the business thread by lyn is it? Fantastic stuff still getting through all the posts tho! lol xxx
