Selling beauty products: 5 marketing secrets to increase your salon’s income
Are you thinking of using your creativity in making beauty products in the salon to increase your income? Selling beauty products you make yourself could be the golden opportunity to do it! We’ll reveal 5 effective marketing secrets that will make your products your salon clients’ first choice and put you on the road to success and distinction in the beauty market. Read on to learn the secrets of success in this field:
- Promote your products in the salon
You can easily promote your products in your salon so clients get to know them better, asking you about their ingredients, how to use them and more. Here are some effective ways to market them in the salon:
- Dedicate a product corner: create an elegant, attractive display area in your salon. For example, use a wooden shelf decorated with candles and flowers, and add a sign with the product’s name and benefits, such as: “Moisturizing mask with honey and herbal extract: restores softness to dry skin in 10 minutes”.
- Use the right lighting: lighting plays a key role in making your products look appealing, so use soft, warm lighting or small spotlights that highlight them beautifully.
- Offer a free trial: you surely know that most women only believe in a beauty product’s results after trying it. So use your products while serving clients in the salon — for example, use one of your own masks in a client’s facial, and give her a free sample to try at home.
- Market on social media
Social media now plays an important role in influencing buying decisions, especially among women. So how can you use this to your advantage? Here’s how:
- Create engaging content: use your salon’s Facebook or Instagram account to share a short promotional video showing how you use the product. For example, show how to use a hair serum for a smooth, attractive look, with suitable sound effects and captions that explain the benefits and catch viewers’ attention.
- Engage with followers: run a competition for followers of your salon’s social accounts to get the product in front of as many of them as possible. For example: “Photograph your daily routine using our products and share it with us for a chance to win a free product”.
- Share clients’ experiences: sharing the photos and videos clients send you about the positive results they’ve had with your products helps promote them and sell more. For example, a client might send you: “I loved this hand cream because it’s light on the skin and really effective. Thank you to your wonderful salon!” — share it with your followers for even better results.
- Promotions and special packages
What attracts clients most and drives them to buy is a steady stream of offers and discounts. Here’s how to do it:
- Exclusive offers: give clients exclusive and seasonal offers and discounts, such as “Buy the moisturizing cream and get a face mask free” — that catches the client’s eye and encourages her to buy to get the deal.
- Special packages: create packages that combine your products with your salon’s services, such as a skincare session with your salon’s own deep-cleansing product at 30% off.
- Free gifts: offer free gifts when clients buy your products, such as “Get a free cut and blow-dry when you buy 3 products” or “Get an elegant makeup bag with every product you buy”.
It’s also essential to use an advanced technology system such as Naeem’s cloud system, which makes it easy to manage product sales, track inventory and organize client appointments, so you can focus on promoting your products and growing your business while the salon’s daily operations run efficiently.
- Sell online
As you can see, technology has become an important and effective marketing channel that has swept through every area of our lives. Take advantage of the fact that almost everyone has a device in hand to bring your products to them at home, using the following:
- A simple online store: make your work more professional with a small online store showing photos of your products with full descriptions. For example, use an attractive product photo with a description underneath such as: “Skincare cream: a rich formula with almond oil and vitamin E for all-day hydration”.
- E-commerce platforms: use platforms such as Instagram, WhatsApp Business or local apps to sell your products easily.
- Delivery: offer delivery straight from your salon to clients’ homes, with a range of online payment options to make things easier for you and for them.
You should also know that you’ll soon be able to use Naeem Store, one of the products of Naeem’s cloud system, which will connect you with wholesalers so you can get the materials you use to make your products quickly and easily.
- Work with influencers and celebrities
As you’ll have noticed, influencers and celebrities have become an important way to market services and products. We invite you to try this effective approach to selling your salon’s beauty products — especially if the influencer has a strong influence on their followers. Follow these tips:
- Choose the right person: reach out to beauty influencers with a large, trusting following, and send them your products to feature in their daily routine and recommend to followers.
- Offer special deals through influencers: run a sales campaign with a beauty influencer who gives her followers a special discount code, such as: “Use code BEAUTY20 for 20% off the signature beauty products from … salon”.
