Stock up!

Lots of last-minute gift buying happens towards the end of December. You don’t want to miss out because you didn’t order enough and you’re out of stock! Be prepared for the demand for your salon Christmas retailing, and order well in advance.

Christmas Retail Window Display

Your window display is a great place to focus your marketing – especially if you have lots of passers-by. Make it attention-grabbing and eye-catching so people can walk in and get what they need.  Consider the colours you are using – a bold red? Or a classy silver and gold? Green works for Christmas and also has sustainability and organic connotations.  Think about what suits your salon and ethos.

Inside Displays

Don’t forget about the displays inside. Once you’ve pulled clients in – you want to keep them.  Make products look appealing and grab attention. Do you want to make your salon glittery or have twinkly fairy lights? Have some sort of simple organisation for clients – work out what’s best for you. Organise by price, type or brand and make prices easy to read. Host a Christmas event on a quiet day – this is a good time to offer tasters and patch tests or consultations. It will also help you beat the January slump by getting new clients lined up.

Gifting Service

Have gift bags and gift wrapping on hand for customers who want the full package and don’t want to DIY. Having a ready-to-give gift makes it more appealing for most buyers. When thinking about placement, have the mini, inexpensive gifts by the till for impulse buys. Test the psychology that purchases are more likely to happen on the right side of the room. Have darker-coloured products lower than lighter-coloured products.

Senses

Fulfil the other senses too and bring out the Christmas vibes. A “Christmas” scented candle (think cinnamon and cloves) and a playlist full of popular Christmas songs will keep your clients happy.  Or if your clients are trying to escape the constant loop of carols, make them happy by avoiding it altogether! Tickle their tastebuds with some mulled wine or some bubbly and a minced pie. Make them feel special so they want to come back for more!
With a little thought and planning you can maximise your salon Christmas retailing – so what are you waiting for?

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
