Exceptional customer service 

Because ultimately this is what will keep clients coming back time after time. You might think price makes a difference but once you have a client through the door the price usually has very little to do with their choice to return. Is your customer service up to scratch? Let’s look at a few points that might make the difference.

  • Look up old clients

If you haven’t seen a few of your regulars for a while, it’s a nice touch to get in contact and check everything is okay. There may be a valid reason why they haven’t been in or they may have had a less than perfect experience which has put them off. Either way, it’s worth finding out and if it’s the latter you can attempt to make it right.

  • Incentivise (it’s more cost effective than trying to attract new clients)

Making sure your clients return is one of the easiest marketing tools in your repertoire – and much cheaper than trying to entice new clients in. Offer an incentive to get clients back, an upgrade maybe? If it was less than perfect service that stopped them coming back, send a card to say sorry that their experience has fallen short of your expectations and offer a small incentive to entice them back.

  • Avoid indifference 

I had to cancel an appointment back in June and I’ve still not rebooked. To be totally honest, I’m wondering whether to give somewhere else a go. It wasn’t that there was anything wrong with the service, but nobody has bothered to see why I’ve not been back and so I’m not feeling massively valued (I’m worth about £700 a year as a client). Keep in touch with clients. Put systems in place that will trigger some form of communication if a client hasn’t been seen in a while.

  • Keep it professional 

Once a client has become a regular, service can slip a little as you become familiar and a bit complacent with your client. Our advice is don’t, try to maintain professional boundaries at all times. Treat every client how you would treat a new client. Don’t get overfamiliar and that way you will always preserve your professionalism and your high levels of customer service.

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.”
