Hi,
I opened a new beauty therapy salon in November last year and for the first 6 months I have been fairly busy. I was expecting that the Summer months would be a bit hectic but at the moment it seems to have gone a little quiet to the extent where I have got my first day without an appointment coming up,
I am only a small salon and at the moment I am the only therapist.
Is it normal that a new business can go through quiet periods even during times you would expect to be busy? It seems that I have a week or two where I am hectic followed by quieter periods, almost on a cylcical basis.
Can anyone give me any ideas on how to improve my appointment book without going down the line of having to give offers or should I be considering this option. My reps have always told me not to do offers as it can look desperate.
Many thanks for your help.
Karen
