GET YOUR SALON OPENING OFF TO A GOOD START AND MAKE<br />
YOUR BUSINESS RUN SEAMLESSLY WITH MINDBODY<br />
DECIDING TO OPEN a salon is scary. Life-changing<br />
scary. But it’s also the first step on your journey to success.<br />
With a little faith and a lot of planning, you can make your<br />
goals happen and open a successful salon. If you want to<br />
streamline the journey and make it as fuss-free as possible,<br />
you will need help, which is why salon software company<br />
MINDBODY has come up with these helpful tips:<br />
MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION<br />
You only have one chance to make a first impression. Your<br />
reception space is the frontline – your decor and staff<br />
should work together to create an inviting atmosphere that<br />
embodies your style and brand. Many people will visit your<br />
website before stepping inside your salon so a user-friendly,<br />
informative and stylish online impression is key. Finally,<br />
your social media presence should showcase your style and<br />
engage with your potential clients.<br />
ASSEMBLE YOUR DREAM TEAM<br />
You need to recruit a team that<br />
shares your vision. From your<br />
receptionists to your stylists,<br />
look for people who are both<br />
skilled and inspired. Hiring<br />
the right stylists is paramount<br />
– it sounds obvious but this<br />
can’t be emphasised enough.<br />
Once you have the right staff,<br />
remember to keep them<br />
engaged. Businesses with engaged employees outperform<br />
those that don’t, so give positive recognition when<br />
employees exemplify your salon goals and values.<br />
EQUIP YOUR STAFF WITH THE TOOLS TO SUCCEED<br />
When your salon is running smoothly, you’ll have more<br />
time to focus on your clients. Take advantage of business<br />
management tools to streamline your operations.<br />
Look for salon software that has booking options that<br />
allow you to add, modify, pre-book and check out any<br />
appointment with just a few clicks. Schedule accessibility<br />
is important as it will enable you to fill your schedule and<br />
manage it all from one screen. Software with marketing<br />
tools built-in will also be useful. Look for seamless payment<br />
processing that lets you process any payment and robust<br />
analytics that will let you track inventory and staff goals.<br />
