What One Thing Do ALL of Your salon Customers Do At Christmas?
SPEND – SPEND – SPEND!!
Did you realize shoppers WILL BE spending over £17 BILLION this year on Christmas gifts in the UK alone and the big spend has already begun?
Will They Be Spending With You? in your salon?
Just look at some of these incredible numbers.
- The average British person will spend over £359 on gifts
- Only 57% is spent on the high street
- 38% online
- 5% outside the country
Now look at this figure
- Over 88% of 18-35 year olds buy online
- Over 59% of over 55 year olds.
The bottom-line right now…
It’s a buyers market and people FIND cash to spend come rain or shine. The question you need to ask right now is how can you tap into that moving income stream and lead them into your salon? Actually it’s a lot easier than you might be thinking and here’s how.
Your buyers, customers, prospects right now are having a conversation with themselves in their minds. It works in two parts.
Part one: “what should I buy John for Christmas?”
Part two: “John wants leather gloves for Christmas, where should I get them?”
So how do you get these guys to spend some of that £17 million with you?
It’s easier than you think yet most businesses do the following.
Sit and wait for buyers
Sit and wait for callers
Sit and wait for orders
