2. Social Media Marketing
Used correctly, social media is also one of the best ways to keep in touch with current clients and attract new business. Marketing on social media can also be extremely cost effective while reaching a large audience. You won’t have to spend money on printing flyers or newspaper ads.
Facebook makes it easy to keep track of your ideal clientele. Also, you can see from their pages what they like so you can create messages and ads to attract them and keep your studio salon booked.

3. Register Your Salon Studio with Online Directories
Before you go shopping or out to dinner, do you ever do a quick internet search to check out the reviews for your local shops? I know I sure do. Reviews are a great way to get found on the internet and get new clients in the door. To discover which directories are most popular in your area, do a quick google search on – Hair Salons in [Your City].
Which directories come up first?
Be sure get registered on the ones that are most popular in your area, as well as the must-dos such as Yelp and Google My Business. If you want some more great tips on getting found on the internet fast, check out this article:
4. Write a Press Release
A press release is a great way to establish yourself as a leader in your area and get your IDEAL clients in the door. You can write about an event that your salon will be participating in, new products or services you are offering, a new milestone your salon has reached, or anything else that’s newsworthy about your work.
We aren’t talking about newspapers: What we’re recommending is to publish a press release online. Once your article is published, you can turn it into a blog article for your website. This is another great way to boost your Google search rankings.

5. Keeping Your Clients Loyal
Although bringing in new clients is great for extra cash and growth potential, it’s your returning clients who keep you in business. Keeping them happy and coming back is the life-blood of your business.
Of course, you stay current and keep your salon studio looking great and feeling comfortable. Remember that you are not “just a stylist”, but a beauty consultant. On that note, since you also serve as friend and therapist to some, be sure to have your listening ears on.
One of the best ways to keep them coming back is to offer a reward program. You’ll get ideas for reward programs and other ways to keep clients loyal when you check out:
