Running a salon is no easy feat. It can be incredibly rewarding, but it also means that you're a business owner, HR rep, beauty tech, stock controller, marketing assistant, and finance team (just to name a few) all rolled into one. It can often feel like you're spinning plates trying to get everything done, but here are a few time-saving tips to make running a hair or beauty salon much smoother.
1. Make time to plan your time
Start every week by setting aside some time to plan your time carefully. Make a
list of everything you need to achieve that week and plot specific time slots
for you to get this done. Always be realistic in what you can get done so
you're not setting yourself up for failure.
2. Have digital marketing templates
Now more than ever, digital marketing is one of the best ways to increase your
clientele. However, it can be hard to find the time to post. Having a clear
brand identity is key, so enlisting our graphic design service to get you started is crucial. If you opt for our full social media brand package, you'll have templates to work from so posting on
social will take far less time.
3. Automate where you can
Luckily for salon owners, there are now many systems in place that can take
over some of the daily admin. From online booking systems, digital accounting
tools and automated social media responses, there are lots of systems that will
free up your time.
4. Have detailed leaflets and flyers
Print materials are essential to any beauty business, so being stocked up can
save you lots of time every day. There are lots of types of leaflets that can
save you from answering those frequently asked questions over and over. How
many times a day do you talk clients through pre and post-treatment care? Have small flyers ready to hand out to clients upon booking an appointment that
explains everything they need to do before and after their treatment.
You can also stock your waiting area up with booklets and brochures that
explain all the treatments you offer, to cut back on time spent promoting and
explaining.
5. Make the most of posters
Salon treatments involve a lot of sitting around for clients, so make the most
of your wall space and get advertising. Putting up posters and banners with key
information is a great way to ensure every client sees and reads it. Be sure to
opt for a poster and banner printing service that take care of everything
from design right through to printing, for a speedy ordering process.
6. Look at your suppliers
Ensuring that you are working with suppliers with quick turnarounds and an easy
ordering process is a great way to take away the stress from last-minute
orders. Here at Wee Print, we're printing
