Planning Ahead: Low-Budget And Simple June Salon Marketing Ideas

June, the sixth month of the year – already! Holiday preparation is starting, festivals are about to kick off, and by the end of the month… school’s out! And of course, you can’t forget to pencil in Father’s Day! To make the most out of this month, it’s crucial you prepare in advance. With this in mind, we’ve put together some low-budget and simple June salon marketing ideas to help you keep a steady flow of customers coming through your doors.

Simple June Salon Marketing Ideas To Keep Customers Coming Back

Global Day Of Parents | June 1st, 2017

Special Promotions

Pamper Packages For Two: The most cost-effective marketing idea. It’s all about adding value and creating an experience for your clients to enjoy! Don’t forget to get the word out by email, SMS and on social media!

Donut Day | June 2nd, 2017

On Social Media

Brand Cross-Promotion: You probably have a local donut shop near your salon right? You could team up with the company and run a competition on Facebook or Instagram for a voucher for Donuts + a Special Sun Retail Pack. It’s a win-win for everyone: you collect emails and get new clients, the donut shop gets brand awareness and new customers, and the client who wins, well, WINS!

On Your Salon’s Premises

‘A Donut With That?’: Another fun thing you could do is to treat clients to a surprise sweet along with their appointment. Advertise it on social media, and you’re good to go!

Father’s Day | June 18th, 2017

* Whatever you choose to do for Father’s Day, keep in mind your target audience is actually women – they’re buying the gifts. 😉

On Your Salon’s Premises

Retail Packages: Solves busy-moms gift buying headaches. Create male grooming kits of different values and promote these both in your salon and by email or SMS.

On Social Media

Photo Competitions: They can be on various themes, but for instance, you could decide to run a ‘like father, like son’ photo contest on Facebook or Instagram. Ask clients to submit photos on your salon’s page/profile, and once you’ve collected enough, the photo with the most likes wins! Prizes can include a voucher, a retail package, or, if you decide to team up with other businesses, perhaps you could donate a golf lesson, personal training sessions at the gym, sporting event tickets, etc.

SMS & Email Marketing

Gift Guide: It’s a thing. Most people find it really hard to find the perfect gift for Dad. If you have a salon blog, a great post idea would be to create a gift guide including your salon or spa packages and retail products. Like Marketing Team Lead Connor Keppel has said about gift guides in the past, “you’re providing value for your clients without saying buy this, buy that, etc. and it will keep them coming back to your page for a few days”. And even if you don’t have a blog, you can still create this gift guide and send it by email to your client database!

  4. “The greatest mark of a father is how he treats his children when no one is looking.”
    – Dan Pearce
  5. “The most important thing in the world is family and love.”
    – John Wooden
  6. “This is the price you pay for having a great father. You get the wonder, the joy, the tender moments – and you get the tears at the end, too.”
    – Harlan Coben

School’s Out!

June means school’s out. And we all know that that’s the exact time of year when families start planning or going away on holidays. Here are some simple June salon marketing ideas to counter that. Think about what clients (potential or regular) really need for summer and create packages (don’t discount!) to ensure you keep them coming back, even if it’s just before they fly out for another summer vacay!

Simple June Salon Marketing Ideas For Summer

  1. Hair: think about easy-to-manage haircuts, highlights, the classic sun-kissed look, anti-frizz products, conditioning treatments to help beat the heat, etc.
  2. Skincare: perhaps promote cool and soothing facials, products with SPF, body scrubs, etc.
  3. Waxing: combine different waxing offers for the bikini and short season.
  4. Nails: sandal season means renewal pedicures, shape and polish pedicures, peels and cuticle work, etc.
  5. Tanning: the goal here is perhaps to get a client to commit to x amount of tanning sessions to maintain the shade.

Think outside the box and again, don’t discount! Instead, add value by creating packages.
