Doing school Christmas fayre

[bubblegumsugar]

Doing school fayre in December I always do filing and painting of nails for children and also the mums at them.
Now I've done my gelish course I'd like to promote it at the fayre.Obviously I will still do normal polish at the fayre as I don't get paid (just for the school to make money)and it's cheaper/quicker but would like to get some new gelish clients out of it too! Other than having business cards any ideas? X

Do your nails a couple of weeks before so you can show them how well it lasts

Have a chain of Nail Stix on your work station, with different colours & others with art on them. Having them visible alongside your business cards should do the trick...

People need to be able to see your work, so maybe you need a photograph album with pictures of hands that you have already worked on, so they can flip through the pages ... Thats what I carry around with my whilst mobile so if you havent got one already then nows the time to start one anyways ...

Also you could do some flyers with a special offer e.g. 20% or 10% off with this voucher type of thing x

That's a great idea. Show before and afters, after removal, regrowth and full range of colours and art. All in a little need album to carry around with you. Oh I'm steeling this idea. :lick: Thanks.

I have always steered clear away from special offers, because ladies end up not coming for treatments until your running an offer. The only offers I will consider are ones if an existing client recommends a friend.... Value your services, never give offers because it won't do your business any good in the long run...

I'm doing a couple of these events and have run up some vouchers for £15 instead of £20 for shellac treatments valid for January

I have done a few events and the Organiser has had appointment slots with clients lined up for me.
I offer Shellac at a special one off price (on the night) and it is a great way of showcasing your work and what it is you actually do during a treatment.
You alway get a lot of onlookers who are able to ask questions while you work.

Doug Schoon is a Chemist that worked with CND for many years and has some incredible books that he has written about nail structure and product chemistry! Every Nail Tech should own a copy! Back to your topic at hand have you thought of doing only one of their nails with a gel polish color that coordinates with 9 other regular polished nails or maybe do the gel polish nail in a different color as a party nail. Your excitement about the product will also help you out!

Not sure if this is worth a try, On the Mum's do just one finger with the polish you use and ask them to see how it lasts I did this once with a client I was trying to get to go from normal polish to Shellac.
I matched a opi polish as near a colour as I could to my shellac. I did the little fingers with shellac the rest with OPI (Do it as a normal shellac service then all the opi fingers dry in the lamp too), she always has shellac now
