New Hours of Business

Adgey · 10-26-2005, 12:30 PM

I just purchased a salon which has been opening at noon for the last couple of years. I now open at 10am and would like to get the word out of hte new hours. Any suggestions of any specials I can have.? Would it be a good idea to mention it on my street sign? I am desperate here, I don't start seeing customers till early afternoon! HELPPP!!!

That may be more a result of the time of year. Now you know why they used to open at noon.

Definitely use you street sign to get the word out though.

What he said ^^^ Plus advertise "NEW HOURS"

Have an "early bird" special, and mention it to all your clients that come through the doors. Also post the hour changes.

Thanks, thats great advice! What do you think of Unlimited Tanning for $29.95 but they can only tan between 10-2 and after that they pay $3?

A lot of the pricing will have to do with your competition. Is that what the previous owners were charging? $29.95 per month on EFT, or is that for one single month.

Nobody here does EFT, I'm not exactly sure how that works actually?
The past owners did monthly unlimited for $54.95 along with the competition.

Check your Pm's.

sorry but what are Pm's?

Why don't you do a Grand Opening Under New Management?? Get some free samples in there, ask your distributor about it. You can run that month special you mentioned for a while, then go back to the pricing that will reflect your market.
