Answer 4

Encourage your clientele to give you their email addresses.  Then keep in touch with them regularly including telling them  about your internet specials.  After a while you'll know which days are your slow days and that's the days you have your specials on. Have a bring a friend special once a month and encourage them also to give you their email address and before you know it your email list will multiply very quickly.

Hi,   Yes it is difficult to promote a new business.   Some ideas:

1. Join a network group where you meet once a week and give each other referrals.  Our hair stylist does well. He got everyone in the group as clients by doing their first haircut free or 1/2 price.  

2.  Pet Marketing:  Have a social hour for pets in your location when people come in, seperate area for health reasons.

3.  Have different days supporting different not profits where a % of the profits goes to a non profit.  However, be consistant.  i.e. monday, sbca,tues another etc.

4.  Serve gourmet snacks to clients.  

5.  Have a Make-Over event.

6.  Have a loyality program with a loyality card. after a certain amount of cuts/points/clients get something.
