The second opportunity a gift card promotion provides is to turn a “gift card guest” into a repeat and loyal client. A solid first impression with their Valentine’s Day experience will make them more likely to return. There are 3 other ways to turn Valentine’s guests into loyal clients. First, ask each guest to fill out a client card to allow future correspondence. Second, treat each “gift card” guest like a VIP. Third, re-book client for a follow-up service at end of experience.
