Recent marketing research revealed some telling statistics about Facebook users motivation for ‘liking’ a business.The study found that 41% of Facebook users ‘liked’ a page in order to receive discounts and special offers. Whilst 28% cited their motivation to click ‘like’ was to take part in a special promotion.

The message is clear: many of the users who follow you on Facebook are hunting for great hair salon offers and promotions. A balance needs to be struck. Salon discounting can be a tricky business. Do it intelligently and you can fill those gaps in stylists columns. Overdo it and you damage your salon brand and your profits.

Here are 4 salon marketing tips for discounting:

1. Keep it time-limited and short-lived. It is easy to get hooked on offers and discounts.

2. Good terms and conditions are essential. These should be clearly shown on your salon website then link your Facebook page back to this web page.

3. Use offers for selected hair stylists on their quiet days. There is no point giving discounts to Facebook users on busy salon days. Obvious, you may think. Yet hairdressers can, and do, fall into this trap.

4. Use added value offers, such as add on hair care treatments, rather than discounts.

How to keep followers ‘liking’ your hair salon
