How to write an advertisement for a beauty salon. Instructions for writing an invitation to a beauty salon. Methods for retaining regular customers

The study revealed that potential consumers of beauty salon services are women. Therefore, we can assume that advertising texts for salons have the same characteristics as advertising texts for cosmetics. This is emotionality, colorfulness, “softness”, etc. It is also not the service itself that is sold, but such concepts as beauty, youth, perfection. And in order to sell these intangible services, authors have to use various techniques in order to increase the aesthetic level of the text and attract attention to the salon’s services. Attention to services can be attracted in two ways: to bring to the attention of the consumer information about all the exclusive services provided by the salon, or if the number of unique services is limited or absent, then using linguistic and stylistic means to present ordinary services as unique.

The most common language techniques in advertising texts for beauty salons are metaphors, personifications, and epithets - these tools help create a visual image of beauty, sexuality, luxury, and youth. Similes and hyperboles are also used. They help create a problem and show an excellent result against its background. And rhetorical exclamations convey emotions to the addressee, trying to attract attention and share joy, amazement, and admiration.

The following examples show how beautifully and effectively the authors describe ordinary everyday realities. Usage metaphors And metonymy leads to the fact that women, reading the text, “fall into an atmosphere of magic, beauty, perfection”:

Satin skin and silky hair.

A flutter of fluffy eyelashes.

Jewelry technique for caring for the most desirable part of your body.

Hair care after winter terror.

Resurrection massage.

Hair is exposed to harsh UV radiation.

Reception personification or personification presents each part of the body as a separate living organism requiring care and attention. Thanks to this technique, a woman feels this care and attention to herself.

An ideal body requires smooth skin.

When your feet want to dance.

Fashion hairdressers know everything your hair needs.

Your fingers know how dear they are to us!

And of course, any text addressed to a woman becomes brighter when used epithets. They are the ones who help the imagination draw vivid images of a beautiful woman after undergoing procedures.

Romantic curls or flawlessly smooth hair.

Perfectly smooth and beautiful skin.

Bold haircuts, original hairstyles, crazy styling.

Luxurious hair texture, flawless plastic curls, sensual images at the height of fashion.

In order to present the problem as clearly as possible, advertisers use a technique such as hyperbola, trying to describe all the horrors in one sentence:

You want to be light and fit, you want to put on a bikini and catch glances at your smooth skin... But you feel heaviness, not freshness. And no wonder! Months of a tiring winter take their toll: dry skin, atonic muscles, puffiness, cellulite and other not very happy details.

For the same purpose, the following technique of maintaining contact is used: communication [ Graudina 2003: 266]:

Let's really assess the situation: a week at the beach and your hair has become dull, dry and brittle. In addition, sad as it may be, at the age of 25 the process of aging begins. Meanwhile, well-groomed hair is a fundamental factor in a flawless image.

And then they talk about a possible change in this image. And for greater clarity, they give a figure like comparison, To further enhance the before and after contrast:

They will give you skin like a baby.

Getting a facelift or breast augmentation has become as easy as going to a boutique to buy new clothes.

Like a fashionable landing party, the masters of the Nirvana beauty and health center disappeared among the guests of the party.

To capture attention, share their emotions with the reader and evoke them in him, the authors of advertising articles use rhetorical exclamation.

You will be the queen of this night!

And now - dancing!

What a discrepancy!

Save your youth!

Often, in order to convince readers and force them to remember information, advertisers use this type of repetition, such as anaphora:

Hot news - hot scissors!

Sweet shades of chocolate are in fashion. An eclectic mix of styles and colors is in fashion. Stylish haircuts are in fashion. The Enchantress beauty salon is in fashion.

Especially after 25, especially when working, especially in a very important position.

And for better memorization of slogans and expressions, they are used citations or allusions:

And believe me, the magic will not disappear at the twelfth stroke of the clock.

In our city, the Ole House company is responsible for this eighth wonder of the world.

Advertising texts for beauty salons are mainly published in glossy magazines in the form of advertising articles, so authors have the opportunity to use such a technique as parenthesis, to visually attract the reader to the article and once again say the name of the salon:

O - the enchantment of summer (Sorceress Salon).

MANIA a passion for beauty (Salon Mania).

SunMANIA (salon Mania)

In addition to the means of verbal expressiveness, the authors of advertising articles for beauty salons use various manipulative techniques for constructing advertising text. Among all the techniques that distinguish E.V. Medvedeva, Y. Pirogova, A.N. Baranov, V.L. Musician, etc., we found the following in advertising texts for beauty salons:

The technique is widely used in advertising manipulative possibilities of the word “first”, since each salon wants to show its perfection and uniqueness, and with great competition, this feature is one of the main ones. The first SPA pool with countercurrents, geysers, water slides and waterfalls.

For the same purpose - to indicate significant differences from other beauty salons and emphasize its uniqueness - the technique is used differentiation from competitors.

For the first time in Omsk, the Center for Aesthetic Medicine “Primavera” uses cellular technologies.

No one in our city has ever combined dentistry with a beauty salon and gym.

In order to make advertising more effective, advertisers try to select certain characteristics of the salon and focus the attention of consumers on them. This technique is called concentration on a few traits or features.

For example, the Dolce Vita beauty salon positions itself as an elite beauty salon providing unique services. And the drugs used have no analogues in the entire city.

And the Nirvana beauty salon emphasizes that it uses products from KEUNE, which was founded back in 1922 on the basis of a pharmaceutical company. This is a family business, so commercial interests will never take precedence over quality of products and service.

Salon Aelita declares itself as a beauty academy that introduces the latest technologies and developments of French beauty institutes.

In order for consumers to better remember the name of the salon and, under certain circumstances, remember it, a technique is used use of slogans. This technique is especially effective if there is a video or audio sequence of advertising, and the slogan is set to music or rhymed.

Dolce Vita. High technologies of beauty.

Dive into Nirvana. (Nirvana Salon)

A complete feeling of wellness. (Well City)

Uniqueness from Modus V…

But often, when describing the important characteristics of salon services, authors do not fully talk about all its actions, using such a technique as selective selection of information. This technique is widely used in advertising of beauty salons, when only the positive aspects of cosmetic devices and preparations are described, and absolutely no mention is made of any possible side effects or the fact that not all people are suitable for the same thing.

And this lack of information is veiled in various ways, for example, they use the technique pseudo-explanation. Advertising for beauty salons often uses the names of various cosmetic devices used to treat clients. For example, “Transion”, Lumenis, Quantium IPL, Skintonik. Perhaps they can inspire confidence, but it is unlikely that these names are familiar to clients and can tell them anything. In the same way, the texts use the names of various technologies used in salons; most readers see these names for the first time.

And in order to finally attract the attention of the consumer and make him not think about possible side effects, advertisers cite testimonies of famous people, doctors, stylists, fashion houses, that is, they use authorities or pressure groups:

All over the world, the Babor brand is called “cosmetics for presidential wives.”

This cosmetics is used by Madonna, David and Victoria Beckham, Anastasia Volochkova and others.

Autumn is a favorable time to transform yourself with the help of experienced plastic surgeon Alexander Shirokov.

Even the design of the packaging, which is developed, in particular, by Porsche designers, is thought out to the smallest detail.

In its exclusive salons, new hairdressing trends are born, inspired by the latest fashion shows on the catwalks of Milan, Paris, and New York.

Mostly, people turn to a beauty salon specialist when they need it or have a specific problem. Therefore, when describing the services of beauty salons, the authors of articles use the technique problem-solution:

Inside we are as fresh as a rose, and the mirror cruelly states the fact of age. Disorder! However, it is possible to slow down time!

Dull, dry, with split ends, and not very thick hair - such “source material” will make any stylist give up. Fortunately, everything can be fixed!

First, all the horrors of his problem are described to the consumer, the situation is escalated, and then this salon appears as a “savior” with its services. Often, for greater clarity, the technique is used creating contrast. This method is mainly used in photographs, when first a face or body is shown without procedures, and then the same body or face is allegedly shown, but has undergone a series of cosmetic procedures in the salon.

But the beauty salon is faced with the task of not only solving the problem, but also doing it in the shortest possible time, so in the text we find the technique simplicity and speed of obtaining the effect, showing how simply and quickly any problem in a beauty salon is solved.

Nothing extra! Deep cleansing = renewal = youth.

3-7 minutes and you are chocolate brown!

Gray hair is removed 100%.

Do you value your wrinkles? So get rid of them!

So, we can conclude that when advertising their services, beauty salon owners pursue several goals. Firstly, advertisers, at the request of beauty salon owners, adjust all texts to the target audience, namely women, for whom the texts must have a number of characteristic features. And first of all, this is emotionality, so the authors of the texts try to create a visual image of beauty, youth, etc., create contact with the reader and constantly maintain it, conveying certain emotions. For these purposes, linguistic means of influence are used.

Secondly, the purpose of advertising a salon is to distinguish it from similar ones, differentiate it from competitors, and demonstrate exclusivity and uniqueness. For this purpose, advertisers use certain influence techniques, such as the manipulative capabilities of the word “first”, differentiation from competitors, concentration on several features or features, and the use of slogans.

Thirdly, one of the goals of advertising customers is to remain silent about some of the disadvantages and contraindications of using services. Therefore, advertisers first withhold information and then introduce techniques such as selective selection of information, pseudo-explanation, and the use of authorities or pressure groups to fill the information vacuum and not raise questions and suspicions.

Fourthly, beauty salons are created to solve consumer problems. Therefore, salons need to colorfully describe all sorts of problems, and then also vividly talk about solving problems. Therefore, problem-solution techniques, creating contrast, simplicity and the speed of obtaining the effect.

Any advertising article is a small literary work, where the author sets himself the task of using as many linguistic and stylistic means as possible in a small text in order to tell more fully and colorfully about the services of a particular salon. Authors of advertising articles initially try to use not only stylistic means of influence, but also semantic ones. Impact through the syntactic features of the text occurs based on the use of sentence models that are most convenient for perception. Impact through morphological features is carried out through the use of certain parts of speech. And influence based on the lexical features of the advertising text is possible through the use of certain categories of vocabulary.

Based on the analysis of advertising articles, we can conclude that long simple and complex sentences are used in beauty salon advertising. All of them are common, and there are a lot of sentences with homogeneous members. This indicates that the authors are not only trying to give information to the reader, but also to explain it popularly. Most syntactic constructions in advertising texts are represented by narrative constructions. But many researchers (V.L. Muzykant, A.N. Nazaikin, V.A. Evstafiev, E.V. Medvedeva, A. Dudareva and others) have come to the conclusion that emotional advertising has a greater impact on women than rational. And one of the signs of emotional advertising is incentive offers, since it is believed that most women are indecisive, and a call to action is an impetus for committing a particular act. Therefore, exclamation marks are often found in texts consisting of narrative sentences. For example,

There is a full range of salon treatments: face and body lifting, masks, seaweed wraps, oxygen mesotherapy, delicious hot stone massage, solarium... More than 100 offers in total!

Spending a day off at a spa resort without leaving the city is now possible!

It should also be noted that exclamatory sentences are often found in headlines. They attract readers' attention and call to action.

It's better to find time than an excuse!

Married - from a beauty salon!

But there is a danger that direct encouragement to action can be perceived as an act of pressure on oneself, and advertising containing an incentive structure can be perceived as aggressive. And one of the ways to overcome the undesirable effect that occurs when using the imperative mood in advertising is to use “soft” verbs that, rather, suggest, suggest, rather than command. For example, nourish, strengthen, believe, try.

In addition to exclamatory sentences, interrogative sentences are also introduced into the text. The question always presupposes an answer, so the consumer subconsciously finds himself drawn into an advertising dialogue, despite the fact that advertising, as a part of mass communication, does not imply the possibility of exchanging remarks. Why doubt? Peace, freedom, beauty! Isn't this harmony and perfection!?

Just like exclamation marks, interrogative constructions are used in headings. They are used as a beginning, and the subsequent text becomes a detailed answer to the question in the title. Do you want to go to Nirvana with me?

Adjectives and participles are often used in advertising texts for beauty salons. They are another sign of emotional advertising, since for a woman it is very important that the product, its functions, and its action are beautiful, that is, described beautifully. And this “beauty” of the product will be the key to the beauty of the consumer.

Flexibility of movement and confident grace of a panther ready to jump, satiny skin and silky hair. A flutter of fluffy eyelashes, a deceptively innocent look and a seductive smile - he can’t resist!

Pronouns play an important role in advertising texts. Thus, one way to make an advertising message more personal is to use personal pronouns, which deprives the advertising message of “anonymity” and makes it more trustworthy. Considering the fact that the advertising campaign is aimed at a mass audience, instead of the name of a specific addressee, personal pronouns are used in the text, creating in the consumer a feeling of direct participation in the advertising campaign.

You won't get a second chance to make a first impression!

Your appearance will tell everything for you.

Your well-groomed appearance is half the battle!

Do you see a portrait of a successful person in the mirror?

The verbal embodiment of the image occurs to a large extent due to the choice of appropriate lexical units, the totality of meanings of which ultimately creates a certain image - an alloy of associations and sensations that determine the attitude of consumers towards the product, that is, the image [Medvedeva 2004].

Yu.V. Rozhdestvensky classified the vocabulary used in advertising texts according to the categories that make up one or another type of literature.

The main layer of vocabulary consists of words of the general literary language, used in the meaning accepted in the general literary language in texts of all functional styles. This first allocated category includes, first of all, all function words and many full-valued ones, for example: remember, favorite, occupation.

The second relatively small group of lexical units are words of a common literary language, used in the meaning accepted in a common literary language, which are usually not used in advertising, but can serve both as a means of original advertising argumentation and to illustrate any associative connections with a product or service, for example: plunge, age-old, carefully, enjoy.

The third category of vocabulary is special terminology associated with the type of product being advertised and inherent mainly in the language of a particular science or field of human economic activity. There is no doubt that the use of lexical units included in the terminological apparatus of a particular branch of activity is primarily associated with the type of product being advertised. However, it should be noted that, in general, there is no clear thematic distribution of specialized vocabulary in advertising messages, since the properties of the same product can be described from the perspective of different sciences, and, consequently, using different terminology. In the text advertising cosmetics, in addition to cosmetic terms such as cosmetologist, massage, makeup, vitamins, oxygen program, mesotherapy, there are also general scientific terms: minimum, complementary, multi-level, technique. Medical terms are also used: metabolism, atonic, psychobiostructural, tissue, chemical: lipid, ceramides, liposomes, oxygen and those that are common in the fashion industry: makeup artist, manicurist, and in some cases economic terms: firm, company, brand , manufacturer.

A seductive relief to the lips is given by Restylane - a biopolymer gel.

The oxygen program dramatically activates cellular metabolism.

Reducing the size of the waist, hips, removing waste, lymphatic drainage, improving blood circulation, preventing varicose veins, recovery after liposuction.

And they entrusted German professional cosmetics from Babor to solve the age-related and situational problems of their clients.

Using the only Quantium IPL and Skintonik devices in our city, photorejuvenation, photoepilation and dermatonic procedures are carried out.

You can also highlight the most used words in the text of advertisements for beauty salons - elite, modern, professional, exclusive, success, new items, latest trends, fashionable, careful, effective, beauty.

Thus, all these words and stylistic constructions are found in literally every advertising article. Thanks to them, a person finds himself in an atmosphere of wealth, luxury, success, one of the attributes of which is a visit to the advertised salon. The use of beautiful words, a large number of adjectives, exclamation sentences in combination with beautiful photographs makes the advertising message bright, memorable, pushing customers to visit the salon.

Tagstext of invitation to a beauty salon

Today you need to make an appointment at the Lady Youth beauty salon at least 2 weeks in advance. But just recently, Oksana Kochegaru, a hairdresser and his owner, was forced to reduce her staff and could not hire cool professionals. But she did not give up and found her recipe for a successful business.

Attention, for the anonymity of the user and his services, the text is anonymized and the names/titles have been changed.

It often seemed to me that I had been cutting literally everyone’s hair all my life – first dolls, then my parents and girlfriends. I spent most of my childhood in the hair salon where my grandmother worked, and seeing this endless stream of clients, I always dreamed that I would have a salon like this.

After college, my grandmother hired me to work in her hairdressing salon. But often I cut hair at home in order to gain clients. Experienced colleagues said that word of mouth is the best advertising for a master.

I worked almost seven days a week, because... I had a goal - to open my own beauty salon. Two years of hard work, and I was able to rent a small room with two chairs, but with an eye on a manicure salon.

There is a beauty salon, but no clients

It’s not that there were none at all, but their number did not cover basic expenses: rent, taxes, advertising, etc. There were 3-4 regular customers a day. Many of them did not want to go to the salon, because... I had to raise prices, and this difference turned out to be fundamental for them.

Things got a little better during graduations and May weddings, but then there was a lull again - during the holiday season and summer cottages, people were in no hurry to get their hair done. The opening of a manicure salon remained a beautiful project, because at this stage it was necessary to save the hairdresser.

We used all offline advertising methods available to us - leaflets, newspaper ads, flyers, discounts, refer-a-friend promotions, etc. But the investments in these events were greater than the results.

And then I remembered about social networks. At the very beginning of my hairdressing career, I created a group where I collected information from the beauty industry and shared it with others. And even then she called her Lady Youth. But I didn’t develop it; I was probably waiting for the right moment.

Not understanding anything about SMM promotion, I decided to study this issue in my free time from work. But a problem has arisen - either I’m learning how to promote in the hope of getting a constant flow of clients in an n-amount of time, or I’m cutting hair now to pay rent and taxes.

I had two options: hire an SMM manager or complete promotion courses. In the first case, my monthly expenses increased by 40,000 rubles, in the second, I once paid 30,000 for the course and did the job of an SMM manager, saving 20 thousand per month, but still wasting time on promoting the group. To be honest, this kind of work tired me a little, because... daily routine actions that had to be carried out systematically were like death.

Effective advertising of a beauty salon

Plus, I was losing money again.

One day, while trying to find the right solution, I saw a short video on Youtube talking about the SocSpider service, which can promote any small business, including a beauty salon. At first I didn’t believe that you could get good results for just a small amount.

The main thing is to decide

In the end, I didn’t risk anything by going to the service’s website and reading about its work. True, I didn’t make the decision to activate the promotion service right away. I wasn’t sure which network to start with – VKontakte or Instagram. In the first, there are still 90 million visitors a day, and the second seems to be specially created for such a “visual” business as a beauty salon. Again, it was necessary to choose from three proposed tariffs - Light, Standard, VIP, which differed in price and, accordingly, in promotion results.

After consulting with the service moderators and reading reviews, I finally chose the “Standard” tariff and ordered promotion on Vkontakte and Instagram. Literally a month later I saw with my own eyes how in demand the topic of beauty is on the Internet!

It’s no secret that women of all ages enjoy not only discussing, but also sharing successful and even unsuccessful haircuts, styling, make-ups, and creative manicures. Therefore, the posts created in my group were actively liked and reposted. “Selfies” taken at the hairdresser before and after a haircut were especially popular. And this became a feature of my group on Instagram.

But, of course, the main activity developed thanks to the skillful work of the service.

I just set tasks, and the robots carried them out in a disciplined manner. Although I can’t call them robots :) The pages specially created and registered for my business could not be distinguished from the pages of real people: realistic photos, regular posts, contacts, studies, family, hobbies and work.

But they worked exactly like robots - without sleep or rest, without complaints about the routine of actions, simply, about the result. After just two weeks of the service, our number of calls increased, and along with it, orders.

After two months, my technicians stopped getting bored and didn’t even have time to serve all the clients. Women began to bring their children and husbands, so the opening of a men's room became not a whim, but an urgent necessity.

For the first time in six months of work, I had light at the end of the tunnel. And I understood that skill and professionalism are only half the battle, the main thing is competent promotion. In my case, word of mouth lost out to SocSpider. Although this is not surprising. People now communicate more on social networks than in person.

What have I achieved and what are my plans?

You can make an appointment with a specialist at least two weeks in advance, and this is not during the holidays or wedding season.
Income has increased 10 times, so we are now looking for a new, more spacious room to install 3 chairs in the men's and women's rooms, to create a separate children's room, nail studio, solarium, makeup and beauty salon. For promotion we will use SocSpider on the VIP tariff, because the price of such beauty services is higher, so the coverage is needed more. We will definitely add Facebook and Mamba, maybe LovePlanet.
Great craftsmen want to work for me, who know that in our “Lady of Youth” there is no need to run after clients.

Love your business and trust professionals. If you're on a budget, trust SocSpider.
When choosing from three tariffs, immediately connect to “Standard”. “Light” is more interesting for experimentation purposes and to see what the service can do. But in order not to waste time and get results, this is “Standard”.
Don't advertise on the second day. They will consider it spam and ban you. Optimally after 10 days, so be patient.
Don't stop promoting after a couple of months. Even if you forgot to pay for the package or did not have money, you can do this within 20 days after the last connection date.

I have now received an offer to open a similar salon in a neighboring city with the prospect of a whole network of beauty salons. Most likely, I will agree, because the SocSpider service does not care in which region it promotes its business.

We remind you that you can send your stories about using the service to us by email [email protected]

To effectively operate a salon and obtain a stable profit in an increasingly fierce competition, in order to attract new customers, it is necessary to use increasingly original advertising methods.

Methods for attracting new clients

How to make the perfect advertisement for a hairdressing salon: examples of texts and photos

Study of competitors, their geographical location, pricing policy, range of services, conditions for regular customers.
Determining your target audience, segmenting them by income level, preferences, age.
Determining ways to reach the target group in a given area, places where the main promotion activities will be carried out - shopping centers and shops, medical centers, fitness and sports clubs, restaurants and cafes, business centers.
Development of effective means to attract customers.

Based on such data, the following inputs can be made:

television and radio, even local channels and stations, will not be effective means of advertising due to the relatively high cost; the best option may be a ticker on cable channels;
placement in print media (newspapers) is possible, but only if the circulation is distributed in the area where the salon is located; glossy expensive magazines are not suitable due to the high cost of placement and long-term returns;
Internet placement is effective and affordable;
Outdoor advertising is very effective and has a good effect on the consumer.

Methods that will be effective for increasing the number of new clients at a beauty salon:

development and production of colorful advertising booklets, with photographs of clients “before” and “after” (anti-aging procedures, hairstyle, makeup), with a detailed description of services, contact information, salon layout;
conducting cross-marketing - partner exchange of clients - agreement on the placement of advertising booklets with potential partners at the reception of fitness centers, sports clubs, medical institutions, travel agencies, etc.;
placement of advertising stands with booklets in luxury homes, shopping and business centers, pharmacies, etc.;
holding a promotion event in a local shopping center - for example, a day of free makeup, hairstyles, etc. for everyone, with consultations from specialists and distribution of business cards or leaflets;
distribution of advertising leaflets by beautiful girls - models in crowded places (at bus stops, near shops).

Methods for retaining regular customers

In addition to promotional events, salon management should also pay great attention to programs to retain regular customers, since they form the main profit of the salon. But most importantly, they recommend their salon to relatives and friends, and such advertising is the most effective.

Activities to increase loyalty of regular customers:

conducting surveys to better understand customer needs and formulate promotion programs;
advanced training of employees regarding their professional qualities and knowledge;
formation of a system of bonuses, discounts, discount cards;
development of client-oriented corporate standards for compliance by all salon employees.

Questions and answers on the topic

No questions have been asked about the material yet, you have the opportunity to be the first to do so

How to properly build a marketing policy for a beauty salon. Some salon directors do not always understand what marketing policy is and how it can help them in their work. So, in order. Marketing is the activity of studying, creating and fully satisfying both existing and future customer needs, which ultimately leads to improved relationships with your consumers. The use of marketing knowledge and skills in the salon business is extremely important for successful activities. This creates sustainable relationships, thanks to which clients easily turn from “new” to “regular”. Currently, with increasing competition, the development of a free information space and the widespread dissemination of technology, it is becoming increasingly difficult to protect know-how and maintain one’s competitive advantages. Gone are the days when manufacturers came up with new products on their own and then promoted and sold them using advertising technologies. Now they have become more attentive to studying the needs and creating a more specialized product that best solves a particular problem of the client (buyer). Marketing miscalculations are costing salon business owners more and more. It should be remembered that the main role has long been played by the requirements of the buyer, not the seller. Inattention or failure to recognize this fact leads to the collapse of the enterprise. Many leading companies are not only looking for open niches for business development by searching for unmet needs, but also trying to understand what will be needed tomorrow in order to provide themselves with a competitive advantage in the future. The technological markets of computers, television, mobile communications, Internet services, etc. developed according to this principle.

Instructions for writing an invitation to a beauty salon

By the way, at the moment these industries are the most profitable. How to achieve prosperity in your business? How to create the most effective marketing strategy? The answers to these questions lie in the field of marketing research as well as marketing planning. Firstly, you must offer your customers the product or service that will be in demand. You also need to present and sell your offer as effectively as possible. To do this, you will need to study your consumers in sufficient detail, their needs and the criteria they use when choosing a particular product. It should be understood that no one has ever managed to be equally attractive and interesting to all people. Therefore, you will need to carry out additional segmentation of your customers by identifying target audiences. Secondly, to successfully move forward, it is necessary to know not only today’s needs, but also to imagine (forecast) the development of your target audiences and their requests. The study of these problems is in the field of strategic forecasting and planning. To start building a growing enterprise, you should concentrate all your attention on the present. Before playing anything, it is always recommended to familiarize yourself with the rules of the game. To understand the processes taking place in the salon business market, it is necessary to consider what factors and forces influence a particular enterprise, what are the features of the manifestation of these forces. To do this, we present the well-known model of “forces governing competition” (Fig. 1) in the salon business (M. Potter). In addition to the factor of the emergence of new competitors, which is taken into account by managers, you should understand that the pricing policy of your enterprise is influenced by both suppliers, who force the salon to set certain prices, and buyers or clients, who force you to reduce prices in the form of discounts and other price promotions.

Changes in the marketing policy of an enterprise are also facilitated by the emergence of substitute products or technologies. Thus, hair removal or body contouring can be carried out in accordance with various technologies, which affects the price of this service. As an influence of substitute products, we can consider the appearance on the market of muscle stimulants of different levels and quality. The wide distribution of cosmetology equipment produced in Southeast Asia leads to a fairly significant decrease in prices for this equipment, and as a result, to a decrease in prices for services. The introduction of more stringent administrative requirements for opening beauty salons in certain regions leads to increased investment costs and longer payback periods. The marketing planning process for a salon should include consideration of the following points:

The needs and wishes of beauty salon consumers;

Consumer satisfaction after visiting beauty industry enterprises;

Products, services and strategies of competitors - direct and indirect - for this beauty salon;

Trends in economic development of the salon business industry and a specific enterprise;

Social trends observed in the region;

Political regulation and lobbying;

Features of existing legislation relating to the salon business and its expected changes;

Technological discoveries in the field of salon business.

The assessment of the market and potential clients, their needs is carried out using surveys and questionnaires (an approximate form of the questionnaire is given in Appendix 1). Performing this task on your own is often quite difficult due to the large amount of information. If necessary, you can use the services of marketing agencies. Their cost is quite high and ranges from 1500 to 5000–7000 US dollars, depending on the volume of work ordered and the region. However, it is also possible to independently conduct marketing research of clients and competitive enterprises. When developing a marketing strategy for a business, you should know the answer to the question: “What are you selling?”

Conducted research indicates that most often when people visit beauty salons, they buy not only the services directly offered there, but also a good mood, communication, enhancing or improving their image, relaxation, health, safety, etc. Clients always buy benefits for themselves. At the same time, you should remember which features of your products provide the most tangible benefits to customers. Accordingly, it is necessary to answer the questions: “What benefits does what you sell bring to the consumer?

How do your products (services) differ from those of your competitors?”

Only a clear understanding of why and when a client needs to buy this or that item from your price list will help you sell successfully and a lot, and not “push”. Achieving such a simple goal turns out to be quite difficult. Why? Let's try to figure it out.

Working and interacting with clients based on the benefits they receive allows you to quickly establish strong relationships. Otherwise, you end up with “vaporization,” which often remains a single or rare sale. Remember how you yourself relate to active and persistent salespeople (salon employees) who influence you using psychological techniques, such as neurolinguistic programming. The issues of techniques for selling services and goods in a beauty salon will be discussed in more detail in the corresponding chapter.

So, the success of a salon depends on the effectiveness of meeting customer needs.

Don't rely on product superiority, rely on meeting market needs.

We hear different opinions regarding advertising, but most beauty salon directors have probably absorbed the great slogan: “Advertising is the engine of trade.” This is probably why they constantly have questions: how to make successful advertising, where it is most effective to place it, which advertising works best, etc.

To answer these questions, you need to understand: “What is advertising? What kind of problems does it solve? What are the features of advertising messages when solving a particular problem?”

Advertising is a way of conveying, as a rule, commercial information from one person to another in order to attract attention to a particular product or service. In this case, different methods of influence can be used: visual, sound, etc.

Primary attraction of attention;

Direct sales;

Transmitting an information message;

Creating or maintaining an image;

Detuning from competitors;

Reminders to take this or that action.

For each task, its own channels and methods of presenting information should be developed. In addition, the messages will be different for the primary and regular visitors to your salon. In the first case, it is necessary to solve the problems of attracting attention, building trust, awakening interest, recognizing needs and encouraging people to come or meet. For a regular or repeat visitor, it is no longer necessary to explain what your company does, build a bridge of trust, or encourage them to visit and get to know the salon.

Business cards;

Price list;

Catalogs;

Posters;

Video films (Table 1).

How to attract clients to a hairdresser

To successfully run any business, along with techniques for retaining regular customers, it is necessary to constantly develop strategies to attract new visitors.

“How to attract clients?” - for hairdressing salons, this question has its own specifics, according to which you can organize a successful marketing campaign and take your business to a new level.

Hairdressers and beauty salons have a very wide target audience, but often the circle of visitors is limited by the location of the salon. This must be taken into account when developing a strategy for attracting new customers.

For example, in the area where a hairdresser is located, it will be effective organization of promotions with an emphasis on profitability compared to competitors, a description of the discount system and the distribution of business cards with a guarantee of receiving a bonus upon first contact.

To expand the reach of your target audience, you can use methods such as

Internet advertising
cooperation with other businesses
referral system for attracting clients

But perhaps the most effective method will be to attract attention new unusual service, when the well-known WOW factor comes into play and simply forces the consumer to take advantage of the new offer. The first stream of customers generates a wave of discussion of the new service, as a result of which the number of the second and subsequent waves increases exponentially (while, of course, the service remains exclusive).

You also can’t help but take advantage of the now popular services of sales sites. discount coupons, having agreed in advance on the minimum number of clients brought from the site, and everything else will be done by professionals who know exactly how to attract clients to the hairdresser.

Tattoo is a potential partner

“You can’t have enough service,” there is a popular opinion, and if you pay the necessary attention to the friendliness of the administrator, the skill of the staff and the general friendliness of the hairdresser, the result will not be long in coming. This method will be especially effective on the female half of the contingent, who come to the hairdresser to satisfy a whole range of aesthetic needs. There are cases when a woman can travel for years to the opposite end of the city to see a master who meets her needs.

Raise the level of service, and they will talk about you at work, at home, over a cup of tea with their girlfriends, and sincere admiration will be transmitted at lightning speed through word of mouth, and this, as we know, is the most effective advertising.

Use individual accounting of regular customers, give them gifts as additional services and give out bonuses for attracted visitors.

Create a welcoming atmosphere and competently decorate the interior, being sure to pay attention to detail and the harmonious correspondence of each element of the hairdressing salon structure to the overall concept of your business.

Don’t forget to create a business card website for the salon with a description of its services and opening hours.

It’s not enough to be a professional in your field and open a salon with good craftsmen. You need to make sure that they know about you and that they want to come to you. But how to advertise a beauty salon? What should be the most effective advertising for a beauty salon?

There are so many methods to attract customers that it is very easy to go to one of two extremes: use either too little or too much advertising. Either limit yourself to just booklets at the metro and customer recommendations, or scatter yourself with all possible methods and waste a lot of money.

As you might guess, neither one nor the other works. Effective advertising of a beauty salon is not a very difficult matter, but you need to approach it systematically.

The main components of beauty salon advertising

Study your clients and identify segments of target audiences.
Determine which advertising is effective for a beauty salon in your case.
Write advertising messages, even if only in draft form.

This will be the basis from which you can go to advertising agencies or set up advertising yourself. What is very important is that with this approach you will act based on facts, and not invest money at random.

But if your company is not fighting for market share with such giants as Johnson & Johnson, you should pay attention to those beauty salon advertising channels that can give the fastest and most measurable results.

Interior appearance and signage

First of all, you need to attract people who are close to you and perhaps pass by your salon every day on their way to work or during an evening walk.

You pay for the designer’s services once, but the result of his work will be visible for years. Therefore, we strongly advise you not to rush and save, but to hire a really good specialist. This will be an effective advertisement for a beauty salon, where you pay once and get the effect for years.

Advertising banners and stands for a beauty salon

This is especially important for new salons, but even if you've been in your area for several years, don't neglect the advice. Try to place advertising banners or stands in all walk-through areas where customers can come to you.

Again, banners must be beautiful. From the information, place there a list of your services, contacts and 1-2 phrases that describe why you are better than your competitors. The latter is done very rarely, but it is this nuance that can tip the scales in your favor.

Distribution of flyers advertising a beauty salon

It's a classic and definitely worth doing. If you have just opened, then hire promoters for at least a couple of weeks so that they hand out advertising leaflets on the most crowded streets, near the metro, at bus stops, near supermarkets.

If you've been in business for a long time, then flyers and leaflets can be a good method to attract customers during promotions or holiday promotions.

Other methods of advertising a beauty salon

As we said above, there are other offline advertising methods. These are billboards, radio, TV, advertising in print media.

If you don’t have a good friend who will give you a 90% discount, then such advertising of beauty salon services will be expensive. And for the investment to be worthwhile, in addition to the cost of the advertising platform, you will need to pay for the work of good specialists who will develop the advertising material itself: an article, a banner or a video.

If you have not yet exhausted the possibilities of the simpler methods, we recommend saving the expensive methods for later.

Today the Internet has become an integral part of any business. Even such clumsy giants as banks and real estate agencies have already migrated to the World Wide Web, because they realized that they can get a huge number of clients relatively easily and inexpensively.

Beauty salons are no exception. Everyone whose ambitions go even a little further than “conquering” the neighboring entrance is mastering online advertising methods. Moreover, at a basic level it is not at all difficult.

Instagram for a beauty salon

To get started, just create a page for yourself. Instagram and post photos of your work there (with the consent of your clients, of course). Invite the clients themselves there - they will be happy to join, because everyone loves to look at their beautiful photos and show them to their friends.

And if you are ready to constantly attract subscribers, then it’s worth delving deeper into the topic, studying this advertising technology, or hiring a specialist. Instagram can provide a very good flow of clients, although it will take some time to accelerate.

Facebook for a beauty salon

This is one of the most effective methods of attracting customers from the Internet at the moment. Facebook provides enormous opportunities for fine-tuning advertising according to the parameters of target audiences and at the same time the cost can be very low.

At a minimum, you can simply create a page and invite clients and friends there. Post there photos of clients, elements of the work process, tips on self-care, and new salon products.

If you're ready to take things a step further, it's worth using Facebook's advertising tools. In principle, you can experiment here on your own, but there is a risk of being unfairly disappointed in the tool. So it’s better, of course, to turn to professionals.

Since Facebook and Instagram merged at some point and their advertising accounts are also connected, they are often used together.

SEO promotion of a beauty salon

Promotion in search engines is one of the oldest methods of advertising, around which controversy continues: is it still alive? Is it worth investing?

Definitely, SEO is a powerful tool. It takes a long time to accelerate, since winning first positions in search engines is not so easy. It requires constant replenishment so as not to lose ground. But with the right approach, it can become a constant source of the cheapest clients to attract.

Contextual advertising for a beauty salon

But everything here is not as simple as it might seem. Of course, it is profitable for the contractor to sell you both services. But the beauty business niche is so competitive in most regions that you need to be a high-class professional and, moreover, have innovative thinking in order to achieve low advertising costs. It's difficult, but possible.

Our recommendation is to first resort to cheaper advertising (for example, on Facebook and Instagram), and then connect contextual advertising. And also, choose contractors very carefully, otherwise you may simply lose your advertising budget.

Placement of a beauty salon on portals and catalogs

This is not a method that can get you a ton of clients right away, which is why it is often underestimated. But at the same time, in the long term, it is portals and catalogs that can, firstly, give you a separate stream of clients, and secondly, strengthen the position of your site in search engines.

To do this, just search for sites with queries like “catalogue of beauty salons”, “beauty salons in such and such a city” and see where you can add your site to the list for free. Well, if you plan to order SEO promotion, then, in any case, this will be done by a contractor.

Articles in online media for advertising a beauty salon

Unlike printed publications, it is not so difficult to get into online magazines and portals. And, best of all, it can often be done completely free of charge.

What you need are quality articles that will be of interest to readers. Of course, if you want to advertise directly, you will have to pay for it, but even free information materials can be of great benefit. Especially if the publisher allows you to place a link and company name in the signature.

From experience, after 3-4 months, regular work with the media begins to bear very good results. Especially if the task is handled by an experienced PR specialist.

Placement of a beauty salon on Google and Yandex 2Gis maps

And if you have added your salon to Google maps and Yandex2Gis, its address and location will be very easy to find through an Internet search. This will affect both the number of clients and their location towards you.

Referral program for a beauty salon

Here are a few ways this could work.

Targeted “refer a friend” promotions for a beauty salon

The simplest thing you can do is to run promotions from time to time that encourage recommendations and give gifts for this. Ideally, both the recommender and the new client receive the gift. Then the conversion of the advertising campaign will be much higher.

The gift could be a discount, a cosmetic product, an additional service, a bonus from a partner’s company... In fact, there are a lot of options, and it’s worth experimenting here. With the right approach, such promotions can significantly increase the flow of customers.

Affiliate program for a beauty salon

A more complex level is a built and constantly working affiliate program. If your customers are loyal and if they know that by bringing new customers to you, they will receive more and more benefits - such a system can become a powerful engine for business.

There are examples where beauty salons completely built their marketing around affiliate programs. But it’s not easy, but developing a motivation system to increase the number of recommendations is something that’s definitely worth doing.

CPA networks for a beauty salon

This is a separate method of attracting customers, somewhere on the border between an affiliate program and traditional online advertising. In short, here you pay webmasters money for each actually attracted client.

Sounds great, right? This is why so many companies want to use CPA networks to attract clients... But few succeed. Because this method only works in a well-established business where target audiences have been analyzed, there are the results of many advertising campaigns and there is a clear understanding of exactly how and why clients come to you.

Otherwise, it simply won't work. Serious webmasters will not take on the job, and inexperienced ones will be able to do little. In addition, the webmaster's remuneration is up to 25% of the cost of the service, which makes this method far from the cheapest.

Everyone wants to find a recipe that will give them the most effective beauty salon advertising. But for advertising to work, it must be systematic. From the outside it may seem that this is simple: just write to yourself on social networks, and people will come. In fact, everything is built on a deep study of individual tools. In this regard, here are some of the most important recommendations that will help you save your budget and attract more clients.

Be prepared not only to support beauty salon advertising throughout this time, but also allocate a budget constantly. Again, it is better to use one or two channels systematically than to start several and then stop them.

Don't be sorry time to study. Organize everything you know about your clients. Best of all, keep records in CRM. From this, extract data to set up effective advertising for a beauty salon, and then your results will be many times better than those of the overwhelming number of competitors.

Measure advertising effectiveness for a beauty salon. Yes, it may be difficult for a beauty salon owner who is used to relying more on inspiration to come to terms with the need to count and analyze, but there are only two options: either do it, or be stuck at the same level for a long time, without the opportunity to develop your business.

What will help a lot is a good one. We specially developed Beauty Pro in such a way that the program takes into account all processes of the beauty business and simplifies them as much as possible.

In terms of attracting customers, it helps analyze the results of advertising campaigns, track the effectiveness of budget expenditure, and also makes it possible to set up a multi-level recommendation system.

But that's not all. Beauty Pro also automates customer accounting and records, greatly simplifies materials accounting, salary calculation and many other processes. Thanks to this, firstly, the amount of time spent on these tasks is reduced. And secondly, and this is very important for financial calculations, the possibility of mathematical errors is excluded.
