fresh Salon and Spa Holiday Ideas

It’s Holiday Time! Don’t be late getting your holiday specials and ideas out there. Stores, catalogs, and web sites are already going after your clients. Salons and spas generate up to 40% of the sales for the year in the last 3 months of the year and up to a third of the profits for the year! Here are some ideas to jump start your merchandising and holiday sales: Put up your table and shelf talkers promoting products and gift cards for the holidays. Do a staff meeting to get the ideas flowing. Call MIKAL for a FREE PowerPoint presentation that is full of great ideas. Run and discuss the slides in a brainstorming meeting with the team. Call us for the slide show at 513-528-5100 or sales@mikal.com Your retail area needs to sell the holiday gift idea. Have a sample gift basket showing 3 or 4 products and a special price. Have clients order (and pay) for pickup in the next few weeks. Offer to include a service gift card with the retail basket. Offer to ship the baskets for a handling fee plus shipping. Are you using the MIKAL Giftcard system so you don’t pay any fees to a gift card or credit card processing company? Don’t waste your money call MIKAL and save 513-528-5100 or sales@mikal.com Have a self service gift wrap station. Get some paper, tape, ribbons and set up a table for clients to wrap their own gifts. Offer to wrap them for them while they are getting their service. Buy in bulk Google gift bags in bulk and get 250 bags for $50 and matching paper for another $20. Pick a bag that is unique and can hold 4 products. The frosted bags are very nice. Always put a service menu and first visit gift certificate in the gift bag. Make sure the free gift certificate states it is for service only and has no cash value. Start blasting out emails to clients about your Gift baskets, your gift cards, your free gift wrapping station, put a picture of your sample gift basket on your web site and offer custom baskets and configurations. Now is the time to launch your client loyalty program. Do you have the MIKAL Points program activated? Call us for a Roll Out Plan and samples at 513-528-5100.
