Marketing can be a confusing, intimidating thing to try and get our heads around. Mainly it’s when we look at the big picture, we can start to get a little hesitant. And that is mainly down to questioning what we do first (or even next). But when we break it down, marketing can be really simple. All we have to do is think about who we are talking to, and to find them and what to say. And how do we find out what to say? Well, how about we ask them with a Salon Survey!
That’s right. One of the most effective ways to really lock down what your clients love, what they hate and what they can’t live without is by creating a simple salon survey and sending it out.
First things first… What do we ask in the salon survey?
Okay, so think about some of the big questions that you would love to know the answer to. Is it about marketing? Is it about products and retail? Is it about services and treatment?
I would recommend that you treat your survey like how you would tell a good story: Keep it lean and keep the topic focused. Don’t hit them with too many unconnected questions as it may confuse them. So select an area of concern that you would like to know more about!
And it wouldn’t be the Phorest Blog if we didn’t come up with some practical stuff that you can use, right?
So here is some nice & easy questions that you can ask in your salon survey to really get a focus on what you want to know about your clients:
