Hey
I started up my own business doing lashes from December. I have all the kit but have only had about 10 clients.
I started mobile and this week I started in my own beauty room within a nail salon. I've read Lynne bakers thread but some things on there aren't available to me-such as ladies who latte, there isn't things like that near me! I've done all the other things too.
Here's what I've done:
Told people I know and got word of mouth started via current clients
Twitter
Gumtree
Yell
Free ads
Friday ads
1000 leaflet drop in my home and beauty room towns and surrounding areas thats 4 different towns in total.
Facebook via nail salon fb page
Blackboard outside shop
Mobil beauty.co.uk
My own website
Emailed local business to offer services/exchange-balance andovers letter from "more ways to promote your business" thread
Viva street
Advertising page where my brother works which reaches over 1000 people
Leaflet bundles in local shops/pubs hair salons etc
Local 5* hotel putting my leaflets in their rooms
Introductory offer
Valentines offer
I've got 1 March offer coming up & then 2 for Mother's Day as by 11th March I'll be qualified in lash lift, tinting and brows.
I'm so stressed I really want this to work I love lashing and my little beauty room I've now took on, but it hasn't taken off for me! I don't know what I'm doing wrong!?
Is it me? or have I started at a quiet time? Does it matter however much advertising you do, people maybe just can't afford treatments?
Any ideas anyone? Out of all my clients right from back when I started (only charging £10 to cover costs for the first few) I have 2 returning customers-my mum and mother in law! I don't charge mum cos I owe her a lot of money anyway.
What's happening? I hope someone has an idea of what I'm doing wrong or why this isn't working for me or is anyone in the same position? Even if I had 1 lash client a day I would be happy! Thanks geeks xx 😔
