My friend and I are seriously thinking about opening a new hair salon in a new town and we're trying to think of some unique/different things to offer and bring in new customers. I'm curious about what people think about what we have come up with.
First, I thought about "build your own box". We set up boxes of mini/travel size hair/nail/skin products and the customer picks a certain number of things to put in a box, or bag, for a certain price.
Monthly raffle baskets. Customers can purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win a basket of products and maybe a gift certificate for a hair service.
Client referrals. (haven't thought about exactly how to do that yet)
Maybe a monthly Facebook challenge. People who "like" our salon page can post statuses and photos with a certain tag about the challenge and be entered to win something.
Monthly specials on services.
Product of the month.
Happy hour. Maybe offer a certain service for a special price between certain hours of the day. (Everyday? Once a week? Weekends only?)
What would be appealing to you as a customer or catch your attention? I am open to any and every idea and opinions!
Also, we haven't 100% decided on a name yet either, so any suggestions you guys have would be awesome!
Thanks!
