In the early days of opening a salon or starting your business, its well worth giving away small treatments free of charge. Or if business is a bit slow it can use up time and increase treatment awareness.
It has to be something that is minimal in costs and that it is really time your giving away.
Your ideas could be giving away your less popular treatments. It could also end in a retail sale.
Here are some ideas.
Nail treatments - offer a free toe nail shape & paint.
Whilst having a lash tint try giving a hand & arm massage or nail shape & paint.
Offer to do a free brow tint with eyebrow shape.
If a client is having nails done and there is a spare therapist doing nothing then she can give client a neck & shoulder massage.
Try and get some nail clients to try a beauty treatment and vise versa.
Its all about utilising time. It may not bring in immediate cash but people talk especially if they have had something for free and they were pleased with it. They might end up buying gift vouchers for a relative and now feel confident about buying it.
When I had my salon we tried this and it did put new ideas in clients minds. Its amazing how they look at price lists and havent got a clue what half the treatments are.
Its up to you to bring it to their attention.
Remeber to tell your client it is a one off free treatment for best clients but not available EVERY visit (some clients often think thats what it is lol)
