Why Beauty Salons Should Use Mobile Apps

The use of mobile apps in beauty salons cannot be overemphasized. It offers a whole new way of connecting with customers as well as opening new marketing channels.

• Mobile apps enable customers to access mobile reservations that are linked directly to your in-house calendar. This enables them to book open appointment slots while on the go, thus saving your staff some time on the phone.
• Mobile apps also enable you as a beautician to send appointment reminders to your customers. This, in the long run, brings in more customers and shifts the competition to your favour.
• Apps that have features for taking photos and emailing is a plus to any beauty salon. With this, a beauty gallery could be created for testimonial purposes, advertising or simple reference.
• Mobile apps make referrals a breeze. With just a click, a user could post their experience on their social media network like Facebook and twitter. This invariably increases sales and online presence.
• Mobile apps help beauty salons to sell their products. No matter the kind of hair or beauty products, you could promote them using mobile apps almost at the speed of light.

Why Beauty Salons Should Use SMS Service

SMS texting could be the turning point to better days for beauty salons if implemented properly. If you are experiencing slow-days, no-shows or one-time customers, SMS serving or texting could bring the magic touch to your beauty salon.

• It provides a good way of keeping revenues up, cutting down missed appointments and keeping customers really loyal.
• SMS service also presents a novel way of marketing, telemarketing. You could provide beauty tips and recommendation to your customers thus keeping them engaged and entertained by your business.
• Almost everyone owns a mobile phone; unless such a person is living in a cave or is an alien. Hence, it serves as a cool way of reaching out to people to promote your beauty salon business and also text messages could be read fast.

In summary, text services will bring in more customers and increase your revenues more than you can ever imagine, and every beauty salon should not neglect such a potent marketing means.

Just like the afore-treated, WhatsApp offers similar functions in promoting your beauty salon business. You could send messages, appointment reminders, birthday or holiday felicitations, new app notifications, photos of latest styling, coupons and referral links to the client’s mobiles while on the go.
