Keeping clients well informed of all events, promotions and important updates will help with client retention. Regular communications help with building loyalty and creating client relationships that stick.

Keeping clients well informed of all events, promotions and important updates will help with client retention. Regular communications help with building loyalty and creating client relationships that stick.

Making the Connection

First and foremost, if you plan to regularly communicate with your loyal clients (and even potential new clients), you must make the effort and ensure that you and your employees keep a note of contact details, making sure that they’re up to date.

From the first visit, your client’s contact information should be gathered and entered into the salon’s client management software. An electronic database where your clients’ contact details are easily accessible is a vital and essential step in planning and organising a professional communication schedule. If you don’t already have one in place, conduct some research and get the ball rolling to put one in place, and you know what? An excel spreadsheet with this information can be perfectly adequate if purchasing software isn’t an option. You can also get some great software for free, try Shedul. Just ensure it is kept up to date and check your clients are happy to receive marketing communications from you to comply with GDPR.

What Should I Communicate?

Tell your much-loved clients about everything and anything that is relevant to them. This can include:

  • Promotional offers
  • Incentives
  • The introduction of new products or services
  • Appointment reminders
  • Bank holiday or upcoming closures
  • Happy birthday’s and well wishes
  • Important health and beauty or industry news.

You’ll know better than anyone what kind of communications your clients want to receive, so use your initiative to tailor them accordingly. Just remember not to overload them with information.

How Should I Communicate?

Keeping your clients well informed of what is going on is something that you and your team can do easily. Regular communications can have a much higher impact on a client’s experience. With this in mind, there are a number of important communications that you should consider sending.

Automatic appointment reminders – automated appointment reminders can assist in reducing the number of forgotten appointments by up to 70%.

Direct text messaging – almost 100% of all messages sent via mobile phone are read by the receiver. This demonstrates that good old-fashioned text message is one of the most prominent and effective means of communication.

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.”
