Marketing Strategy for Salons
When executing marketing strategies for Salons- it is essential to properly address the COVID-19 situation in a direct but subtle way.
You want your customers to feel as safe as possible, without over addressing the situation.
It is a very delicate balance, but if you over address the COVID-19 situation, it may deter customers from returning to your salon.
On the contrary, if you under-address COVID-19, your customers may not feel safe at the salon.
In the messages provided above, we have balanced both COVID safety protocols and light-hearted messaging.
The goal of our messaging is to make your customers feel safe, but also free to enjoy themselves at your salon.
Additionally, there was a value proposition in each message.
