Pay Off

It has been an interesting season, a lot of unusual weather in many areas but for the most part salons are reporting sales are up over 2014. My question is did the changes you made to your salon for this season pay off for you? Are your sales still strong for this month?

Actually that is not true, many of the salons on this site state they are up over 2014. Certainly there are going to be salons that are down. That is an indicator that changes must be made in those salons. When you look deeper into salons that are declining it is easy to find the reasons why. I am sorry to hear your numbers are down. maybe think about making a few changes. When numbers are down and you do nothing to change that trend, they wile likely continue to decline. At some point they decline so much that you can't survive.

Re: Pay Off

So you're basing your assessment that salons are up on a few individuals posting on these boards?!? Probably not the most accurate source.

Re: Pay Off

We are up, and I guarantee Steve can't tell you why we are up!

Just more of his cryptic bs trying to get "his" numbers up.

The salons that are doing well for the most part are not on these boards so you do not hear much from them. Salon owners come to these boards looking for help. Even within those salon owners they make changes and try new things and as a result report increases in sales. That is fact, all you have to do is read the boards.

For those of you that do not understand the importance of evolving and keeping pace with todays consumer and ability to communicate with those consumers are just making excuses. There is so much that can be done to change circumstances. It is different for every salon. The one thing that is the same is if something is not working, you must try something else.

I am only asking if those that made some changes experienced positive change.

For those that are just negative towards this industry, well those operators are doomed to not experience what trying to make a difference will bring.

kookiguy, you of all people should know that if your numbers are up it is because of the things you are doing, just like when a salons numbers are down it is because of the things they are not doing.

Success does not happen by chance, it comes from the effort to succeed and sometimes that requires change.

You disagreeing with me is only because it comes from me. It is ok to not like the messenger but when the message is accurate it can't be denied. I am happy to hear your numbers are up good job.

No Steve, me disagreeing with you comes from your vague, nebulous posts, that offer no real advice, but rather are just about you trying to fish for new clients by suggesting that you have some sort of "secret" information that is going to save an otherwise lagging or failing salon.
