Hi, I have been work in a nail salon for the last 6 weeks. My boss owns the hair dressers which is well established and the nail salon which has not long opened. His clientele is 50+.
We have had no clients for the last three weeks.
My boss is relying on a poster and a price list for the nails and Beauty in the window. He will not advertise. I have asked him to advertise more and connect with other local businesses and to target a clientele but he is very old school and thinks that I should pull people into the salon if they are out side window shopping. Most of the time they are not interested.
He now wants me to come in on my days off to self promote and work in the hair salon for no pay.
I feel like I have nothing to work with, no marketing equipment just a few leaflets. I am trying to do all I can on Facebook.
I think we both have different ideas on where the business is going he wants to keep it quite old I feel.
I am a bit confused, because he already has the hair salon and I think he should have advertised and had clients booked up before opening.
Am I wrong in thinking this because when I try and talk to him he confuses me.
I really want this to take off, it's my career.
Please give me some advice.
