Preparation Like any key calendar event that you take part in, it is always a good idea to grab the opportunity when you can. But to do this preparation is key. Make sure you have plenty of time to plan correctly what you are doing. Ensure you have all your stock, marketing tools and everyone on board ready for the big day.
Tell Your Team This seems like an obvious one, right? Yes to some it is but for many it’s so obvious that half the team do not actually no what’s actaully going on in the salon. When this happens many opportunities are easily missed. It takes minutes to brief your team a week or 2 in advance on what you have planned. This can be done in a team meeting or individually which ever you suits you best. By doing this in a team meeting you know that everyone has received the exact same message.
