For many, creating a salon email marketing campaign is an arduous task. That’s because it feels like there are so many things\u00a0to do for those campaigns not to go unnoticed, aka a constant struggle to get more clicks. Many people make the mistake of believing that the communication alone is enough – but it actually takes much more than just text!<\/p>\n

You might remember this heading from another blog post<\/a> Phorest’s content manager Chris Brennan wrote in the past. Well, here’s a resume of what it takes for your customers to click through your salon’s emails.<\/p>\n

Phorest’s 5-Step Process<\/h2>\n

Step 1: Writing Compelling Subject Lines<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"salon<\/p>\n

Your subject line needs to grab one’s attention and be intriguing enough for it to convince your client to click-through. Here are a few examples of good punchy subject lines:<\/p>\n

Step 2: Choosing The Perfect Visuals For Your Campaign Branding<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"salon<\/p>\n

While it’s important to send out your emails with images, overdoing it isn’t going to help. The trick is to pick the right image for your concept. Also, choose your content before making your mind on graphics!!!<\/p>\n

Remember: you only have one shot to catch your client\/prospect customer’s eye. The average attention span for online browsing is quite low. The right image will captivate and convert.<\/p>\n

\n

Choose complimentary colors to your branding.<\/em><\/p>\n

Remember that happiness sells… and so does showing humans!<\/em><\/p>\n

Always refresh your visuals – change things up!<\/em><\/p>\n

Images that have patterns tend to work well.<\/em><\/p>\n

Your images must be in harmony with your email’s message.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Step 3: Writing Worthy Content<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"salon<\/p>\n

Sugar coating to make your content pop is fine, but writing copy just for the sake of filling in white space simply\u00a0should not<\/span> happen. In short,\u00a0keep your salon email marketing campaign\u00a0<\/em>short & sweet<\/em>!<\/p>\n

I suggest you plan your email’s content by answering these classic 6 questions: WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHY, WHEN, HOW.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who<\/em> are you talking to, what<\/em> is the email about, where<\/em> can your audience get what<\/em> it is you’re offering, when<\/em> it’s going to be available and how<\/em> they can get your offer.\u00a0It’s important to think carefully about the\u00a0WHY\u00a0<\/em>you’re sending this email to clients. Try to center your efforts on one objective; if you want people to book more facials, then make that the focal point of your email!<\/p>\n

Oh, and try to sell the idea<\/em> of the product or treatment rather than what you’re offering exactly. People tend to dislike being boldly sold to whereas they react much better to feel good emotions or souvenirs…<\/p>\n

Step 4: Adding An Effective Call-To-Action<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"salon<\/p>\n

In the case of a salon or spa, more often than not, your call-to-action should be a rebooking\u00a0link or a button to buy a retail package, voucher or product. Make sure it stands out, easy to click and conveys only one idea.\u00a0Make it so easy for your clients that they can\u2019t think of any excuse why they shouldn\u2019t click! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Step 5: Ensure Your Email Signature Stands Out<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Often overlooked, an email signature is a powerful and low-cost marketing tool. It’s the equivalent of your printed business cards. A good email signature:<\/p>\n

\n

Displays your brand’s identity (logo).<\/em><\/p>\n

Is consistent across all your salon’s employees<\/em><\/p>\n

Contains links to your website, social media, promotes your salon’s app or recent special offers even!<\/em><\/p>\n

Sums up all the essential contact information in a quick-to-read\u00a0format.<\/em><\/p>\n

Is visually appealing.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
