Salon loyalty programs are great for showing appreciation and keeping clients happy.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every business wants to be their client\u2019s \u201cgo-to\u201d place. Did you know it is five times more expensive to win a new client than to retain an existing one? Not only that but returning clients <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/guides\/2010\/08\/get-more-sales-from-existing-customers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">spend 67% more<\/a> than new customers. In light of these statistics, customer loyalty pays off. Focusing your marketing strategies on customer retention can give your salon a quantum leap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although customer retention is important in growing your business, client acquisition should always take equal precedence. Salon loyalty programs are an easy, effective way for salon owners to grow a strong base of repeat customers. This post will teach you more about salon loyalty programs and why they work.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_1803394798-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:5px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-2-smaller-font-size\" id=\"h-what-is-a-salon-loyalty-program\">What is a Salon Loyalty Program?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/features\/business-management\/#loyaltyPoints\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">salon loyalty program<\/a> is a rewards system a company offers to its returning customers. Such programs may give customers coupons, free merchandise, or even new products before the official release. Customer loyalty programs are the lifeblood of the American small business. Through thick and thin, small businesses rely on repeat customers for economic sustainability and future planning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a customer survey we ran, when customers are regulars at a small business, 42% say they would only refer a friend if they ALWAYS have a positive experience. That positive experience comes with a caveat, 76% of consumers say they are more loyal to individual employees than to a brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing enough time and money in value-added customer loyalty programs is the key to holding on to your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how do you create an effective loyalty program for your salon that will compel your customers to stay?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-2-smaller-font-size\" id=\"h-how-to-create-a-salon-loyalty-program\">How to Create a Salon Loyalty Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to creating a feasible loyalty program for your salon involves understanding your customers\u2019 buying patterns. Regular customers are those who utilize your products and services frequently. These are the clients who are satisfied with your services and are ready to forgive minor slip-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sporadic customers are those clients who visit your salon once in a while or for special occasions. By identifying regular and sporadic customers, you\u2019ll be able to develop loyalty programs that target each category of customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have identified your customers\u2019 buying patterns, you can devise a loyalty program to encourage them to buy more. There are many ways to create a loyalty program for your salon. Here are some killer ideas that might engage your clients more while at the same time making them feel appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\" id=\"h-1-vip-treatment\">1. VIP Treatment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Give your loyal clients the VIP treatment they deserve, especially those who have acted as your brand\u2019s ambassadors through referrals. A VIP Treatment loyalty program can include special rewards and bonuses for the most frequent and loyal customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing can make loyal clients feel more appreciated than bearing that \u201cVIP badge.\u201d The VIP status can open them up to exclusive salon deals and discounts on select retail items on sale, special treatments, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\" id=\"h-2-points-system\">2. Points System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most popular ways of creating a reward program for your loyal clients is through a points system. Most salon owners prefer the points system because it\u2019s easy to implement and straightforward for customers to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can start by assessing \u201cValue\u201d concerning \u201cPoints.\u201d What will it take for a client to earn a single point in your salon? For example, you can set $1 as equivalent to 1 point. Be sure to lay down the circumstances under which the points are redeemable and whether they can be redeemed for cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also assign points based on customer behavior that may benefit your business. Here\u2019s a typical point system you can utilize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 customer referral = 400 points<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Appointments made for birthdays = 100 points<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each appointment made through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/features\/business-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">salon app<\/a> = 200 points<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each appointment made through a physical visit =100 points<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such a system can encourage people to make bookings through the salon app. It\u2019s a win-win for everyone. The salon owner gets more traffic to their site, and the client gets more redeemable points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmartsalon.com\/solutions\/salon-management-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/DaySmart-Salon-Client-Management.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\" id=\"h-3-punch-card\">3. Punch Card<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a punch card is another effective yet easy-to-use reward program that can encourage repeat clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Successful salons supply their customers with loyalty punch cards after their first purchase. The customer can choose whether to punch a slot for each incremental amount spent or for each visit. Either way, customers are entitled to free treatment, a motivating factor for repeat clients.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\" id=\"h-4-social-rewards\">4. Social Rewards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In this era of the digital revolution, your salon needs a social media presence. Since all beauty shops are in the visual industry, salons can attract new clients through Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set up a loyalty program based on social media promotions to reward your clients. You can ask satisfied customers to take photos of their new hairstyles, post them on different social accounts, and tag your salon\u2019s account handle along with the snaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can then grant reward points for each post or give them access to special discounts. You can also leverage the power of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/blog\/yelp-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yelp marketing<\/a> by requesting satisfied clients to drop positive reviews of your salon on your Yelp page.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_2112265691-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:5px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-2-smaller-font-size\" id=\"h-why-customer-loyalty-programs-are-beneficial-for-your-salon\">Why Customer Loyalty Programs Are Beneficial for Your Salon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how salon loyalty programs can be beneficial to your salon.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\" id=\"h-1-client-s-engagement\">1. Client\u2019s Engagement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Customer loyalty programs encourage repeat customers and spur them to take other actions. If there are reward points for booking early, customers will have a reason to do so, even if they procrastinate. Assigning reward points for buying retail products might compel customers to buy at your shop, even if they are used to buying the same products elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\" id=\"h-2-referrals\">2. Referrals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Word of mouth is one of the cheapest and most effective ways of attracting new clients. At times organic search results can be biased due to paid ads, but peoples\u2019 experiences always hit the nail on the head. By offering loyalty points or rewards for every referral, your customers will likely refer more clients to earn free services.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\" id=\"h-3-contact-details\">3. Contact Details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people refuse to give their private information as online security threats continue infiltrating the web. But when your customers sign up for a loyalty program, you can access important information such as their email addresses and phone numbers. This allows you to follow up with them after service to ensure satisfaction and engage them further through newsletters.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_2216499427-1024x592.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:5px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-2-smaller-font-size\" id=\"h-wrapping-up\">Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Salon loyalty programs are a great way to hold onto your clients. They go a long way to ensuring your clients hold on to you and act as brand ambassadors for your salon. When setting up a salon loyalty program, remember to keep it simple and transparent for customers to understand. You can also save time when implementing loyalty programs into your salon using a software solution that can track your loyalty points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have any questions? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/salon\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get in touch with us<\/a> and let us help you grow your salon, or try DaySmart Salon software free for 14 days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"w-actionbox color_alternate blog_bottom_cta\"><div class=\"w-actionbox-h\">\n<div class=\"w-actionbox-controls\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:35px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:17.5px\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your customers are the heart of your business.
