August Admin: Your Guide to Updating Service Menus, Removing Inactive Clients & Checking Product Pricing

As the summer begins to wind down and clients return from their holidays, August is the perfect time to refresh your salon operations. Whether you’re prepping for a busy back-to-school season or planning ahead for autumn promotions, a little admin work now can help improve your salon’s success for the rest of the year.

In this blog, we’ll guide you through three essential August admin tasks in Salon Tracker:

✅ Updating your service menu
✅ Removing inactive clients
✅ Checking and adjusting product pricing

  1. Update Your Service Menu

Your service menu is one of the first things clients see – make sure it reflects your current offerings and pricing.

How to do it in Salon Tracker:

  • Navigate to Management > Booking Services
  • Review each service:
    • Are all descriptions up to date?
    • Have you introduced any new treatments?
    • Are your durations and prices still accurate?

💡 Pro Tip: Highlight limited-time services such as “Post-Holiday Glow Top-Up” or “Autumn Tan Prep” to drive bookings.

🧾 2. Remove or Archive Inactive Clients

A tidy client database means more accurate marketing and reporting. August is a great time to clear out old records.

How to clean up in Salon Tracker:

  • Go to Marketing
  • Use filters to identify clients who haven’t visited in the last 12–24 months
  • Double-check before deletion as some may return for seasonal visits
  • Delete the customers to remove them from the database and keep your database clean.

📢 Marketing Tip: Before you delete, send a gentle “We Miss You” reactivation campaign using our Marketing section. Offering a small incentive can encourage lapsed clients to rebook.

💷 3. Check and Update Product Pricing

With inflation and supplier changes, now’s the time to review your product pricing and stock.

Steps in Salon Tracker:

  • Go to Products
  • Compare your current prices to supplier costs
  • Update prices if margins are too low
  • Review any discontinued products
  • Review stock levels and plan for autumn inventory

🔍 Insight Tip: Use your Reports tab to see which retail products are best-sellers and which are collecting dust, use that data to make smarter stocking decisions.

Wrapping Up

Doing this admin work now means fewer headaches later. By keeping your services, client database, and product pricing fresh and accurate, you’re setting your salon up for a strong finish to the year.
