Hot on the heels of the festive season, Valentine’s Day can be a profitable time for smart salon owners. Perfectly placed to help boost revenue in the aftermath of Christmas, Valentine’s is a great time to increase footfall.
Spread the love with your marketing – and remember it doesn’t only have to be romantic love. As well as promoting couples for Valentine’s Day, encourage your clients to celebrate self-love. Otherwise encourage your clients to treat someone special – it could be a parent, a child or even a best friend. What are the best Valentine’s marketing opportunities?

Retail

Valentine’s Day offers a lucrative retail sales opportunity. Emphasising your retail in a creative way is a great way to boost sales in February. The post-Christmas gloom is over and clients are spending more than they did in January. Showcase your products in the window and right next to the till. Have special gift boxes and gift cards. Include a gift wrapping service to elevate the products.

Promotion

Offer a promotion on treatments when clients bring someone with them. Create one for partners but also one for family members to show each other love. Think about offering a Galentine’s Day treat on 13th February to give a bunch of girls an opportunity for some special gal time.

Singles Event

Have a “singles” event focused on self-love. Offer mini treatments and product samples to  spread the love. Bringing singles together for a happy Valentine’s group session means they can forget all about the smug couples.

Pair Up with a Local Business

Get in touch with local businesses that have a similar clientele. Contact a local florist or bakery and work together to spread the love for February. The bakery could make Valentine’s Day biscuits for your clients. A florist could make beautiful Valentine’s displays to get their name out there. This way you can share a percentage off the salon when purchasing at the other place – and vice versa. Use each other’s social pages to double the chances of getting customers in.
Valentine’s Day is for everyone. Unattached people can be targeted just as well as cuddly twosomes –  who doesn’t love a pampering?

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 My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world.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!”
