Autumn Marketing Tips for your Salon

As today marks the first day of October, it is now officially autumn! Autumn is one of those seasons that you either love or hate.

Autumn lovers will be wrapping up in their warm fleece-lined coat to go for a walk in the park, watching the golden leaves fall from the trees with a hot chocolate in their hand.

Autumn haters will be sat inside longing to go back in time to relive their best Summer moments.

Whether you are an autumn lover or hater, this blog will give you some tips on how to get your salon ready for the cosy season!

 

Tip 1 – Decorate your Salon

Get your customers to be on your vibe by decorating your salon with autumn decorations.

This could be some artificial leaf garlands, artificial pumpkins, fairy lights or anything that gives you that autumn aesthetic!

If you offer complimentary drinks to your customers, try purchasing pumpkin spice, ginger or chai powders/syrups, for them to spice up their usual coffee or hot chocolate and to get in the autumnal spirit.


Tip 2 – Autumn Offers

Autumn may mean feeling blue for some, so what better way to cheer up your customers than having an autumn offer!

This could be a discount on sunbed courses or extra free minutes when purchasing a course if you are a tanning salon, for customers to prolong that summer tan so they can still get their vitamin D, which is a mood boosting vitamin.

This could be a discount on beauty services or a free product when booking a beauty service if you are a beauty salon, to give your customers that confidence and serotonin boost.

 

Tip 3 – Getting Prepared!

As calm as the autumn season may be, there is also a hectic season just around the corner from this, Christmas.

Christmas in the salon industry is one of the busiest periods, as everyone is wanting to book appointments to look their best for the most wonderful time of the year.

Now that summer is over, this is the perfect time to start taking bookings for the Christmas period.

Posting on your social media accounts encouraging your customers to get their Christmas appointments booked in is a great way to remind them to book in advance to guarantee them a slot at their desired date and time.

If you still have some Christmas openings nearer the time and you want to get them filled in, try posting your available slots on your social media.

This will allow for more potential customers to easily access your availability and choose a time that suits them.

 

All of the tips above will guarantee to get your customers into the autumn spirit!
