Christmas Marketing Strategy # 3 – Solve your Customers problems
Pay attention to what I am about to say because it is really important. There are two reasons and two reasons only why customers buy products and services from your Salon and those reasons have absolutely nothing to do with you, your expertise, the products you use or how pretty your Salon is. In every marketing workshop I teach, I tell Salon Owners that consumers purchase products and services from a Salon like yours because…
a. They have a problem that needs to be solved.
b. They want to make themselves feel good.
This concept is extremely important to understand because if you don’t get it, you end up creating marketing that communicates the wrong message. If you don’t understand these two purchase motivators you end up talking rubbish about yourself and your Salon instead of talking about the customer and what she wants. You will use these two purchase motivators to create all of your marketing material for Christmas. Successful marketing that puts money in the bank doesn’t talk about products and services, it talks about feelings, emotions and solutions to customer problems. However, every ad, every special, every flyer that I see goes on and on about the wrong stuff. If you want to create adverts, vouchers, flyers and emails that work this Christmas, focus on your customers problems and how she will feel when she leaves your Salon. Here is a practical exercise for you. Sit down with your staff and answer these three questions;
a. What problems your customers have this Christmas? I.e. Not enough time, too little money, not knowing what gifts to buy, am I going to look ugly on the beach etc…
b. How do your customers want to feel this Christmas? Younger, slimmer more confident, etc…
c. What solutions does my salon offer consumers?
Make sure that everything you say and everything you do speaks directly to your customers’ needs this Christmas. Salon Management
