Tips To Increase Average Spend

Here are some basic steps you should put into action to increase average spend in your salon.

Guide Your Client

Walk in the shoes of your salon clients. Imagine a guided path for each customer experience and make sure it is the same every time. This way you will be known for being reliable and consistent.

Does your offering leave your client with a positive experience? Make sure it will lead to a second booking and that they will recommend you to their friends and colleagues.

Anticipate Their Needs

Aim to anticipate their needs. Shining in this area will set you apart from your competitors. Identify your customer’s needs before their appointment. That way you can enhance their experience – and increase average spend.

Nurture & Offer Upgrades

Nurture their presence when they are in your salon. During their treatment ask them about possible upgrades. If time allows turn a MD facial into a luxury facial. Or, add a massage to a MD Pedicure to make their experience more special and increase their average spend

Offer Discounts

Consider a social media promotion to get more first-time bookings. Offer discount codes or treatment extras to encourage repeat customers to book a course. For example, book 6 facials and get a 7th free. Or add a complimentary mask and massage after a facial.

Stay Connected

After your client has left consider how to keep them engaged. Offer maintenance treatments and other offerings that will complement and enhance their results, and increase their average spend. Membership packages and loyalty cards will go a long way to maintaining those all important clients.

Ask for Feedback

Survey your clients and your staff. Feedback will help you tailor the ideal customer experience. Each stage of the journey needs to be carefully planned and thought through.

Effective systems that reflect your salon culture will deliver an experience that is hard to match – and lead to an increase in average spend.

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
