Retention is the key to salon/spa profits in 2007

Did you know that for every 5% you increase retention your bottom line increases 1%????

Retention is the key to profits for 2007!

If you can get your new customer retention up to 50% plus and rebook 2 out of every 3 customers before they leave you will be in the top 5% of the industry in retention and net profits. The key to making money is getting your present customers in more often and getting more of your first time customers in developing a habit of visiting your salon and spa.

What are you doing right now to make sure customers are rebooking?

Here is the strategy we came up with to increase Perfections retention and rebookings. Create a business size card with the offer of $10 off your next retail product purchase on your next visit and only give it to the customer if they prebook their next visit! Here is how the business card sized tool works: EVERY CUSTOMER that checks in gets this card when they check in at the front desk. This gives them time to read the card and experience the service and make a decision to rebook before leaving. When the customer checks out the receptionists or service provider asks if the customer wants to activate the card (not do you want to rebook the appointment). Supporting documents include a table talker (sign) at each station like the front of the card and the MIKAL receipt printing automatically with the marketing message and the next appointment date/time printing.

What makes this idea GREAT?
– The rebooking increase retention and profits
– The offer is for the NEXT visit
– The give away is Retail so the staff can’t complain
– The give away gets the customer to experience retail another great habit for the customer to develop
