Grand opening ideas?

Hi, I just purchased the salon that I've worked at for 3 years and I need a little advice. I'm having grand opening in 2 weeks and I'm not sure what kind of special's to run. I've already contacted Designer Skin to get the free products and also my dist. is giving me a bunch of free samples. Do I sell the samples at a discount or give them away? Some people are asking me what kind of theme I'm having for the weekend, should I have a theme? I never thought about it until a few people mentioned it.

Thanks for any help!

Do a hawaiian theme...go to Party City (or whatever is in your area) & get those lays (sp?) have an employee stand by the door & put them around customers' necks as they come in. I wouldn't totally give the stuff away....maybe a free sample with a visit purchase or buy one get one...something like that...you don't want the awsfn's coming in and cleaning you out (always wantin' something for nothing's).

Re: Grand opening ideas?

Do a cheep unlimited monthly package...and for everybody who buys the special give a free sample lotion or t-shirt...you will have people who use the package a lot then you will have people who only come a few times during the month so you still make a good profit ...also have a special where if they buy the special monthly package they get a discount if they purchase a bottle of lotion.

Re: Grand opening ideas?

We are doing a Spring Fever Luau all this weekend. We got the promo box from DS and are giving sample lotions away to our good customers or those buying a package, etc; We are doing $2 tans if you buy a bottle of lotion (20 tans max), we have some refreshments (lemonaid, cookes, crakers, cheese balls etc; ) we have a few other specials going on as well. Based on what they buy enters them in drawings to win tote bags filled with goodies (t-shirt, lip balm, body wash, etc; ) or some free upgrades.

Congrats on you re-Grand Opening and best of luck! :)

That's a great on CoCopelli. ^ We just relocated and the chamber is coming out to do our Grand Re-Opening with a ribbon cutting. It gets alot of attention and if you contact your local paper they usually do a free write up about the business.
