On the first day of Christmas my true love SENT to me! A BIG welcome back to our Christmas marketing campaign, it’s time to get your salon marketing machines switched on… SMS are still at number one to get the best response from your clients. Lets start with some SMS stats…
Source: slick text Each week we will release brand new SMS that you can use in your salon and send to your clients. Feel free to hang the text to suit your business. Remember to keep an eye on the number of characters you use – 160 characters = 1 SMS credit, anything of that will be 2 SMS credits. Week 1 – 27/10/2019 Top spenders – Targeted campaigns Example 1 – Do you know who your top spenders are? I bet they’d be some you will be surprised with. To view your top spenders on Salon IQ desktop go to Main menu -> Communications -> Client selections -> Click new from template and then select -> Top spenders in last 12 months. Remember to personalise your SMS to suit your Salon. A contact telephone number is always good to add into the SMS making it easy for the client to call you. 
Week 2 – 04/11/2019 Not visited in the last 12 months For week 2 it is great to target all those clients that have not been to you in the last 12 months. We will use 3 filters for this SMS campaign – Go to main menu -> communications -> drag ‘had service’ filter, select all services -> drag ‘last visit’ filter select more than 12 months ago -> drag ‘no future bookings’ select all services and all time.
