Start with the service and audience
Describe the specific service, client, neighborhood and the reason a client would choose your salon. Separate offers for first-time visits and the existing client base. Generic advertising "all services for everyone" makes it difficult to assess results. Check that price, duration and available hours match audience expectations and the team's capacity.
Measure the path to a paid visit
Count inquiries, bookings, completed visits and payments by source. Separately record cancellations and no-shows. A large number of messages does not equal revenue: clients can be lost between initial interest and the visit. Use consistent definitions so the administrator and owner have the same understanding of what counts as a booking and a sale.
Check the administrator's performance
Observe how quickly they respond to inquiries and whether they offer a specific time. The response should make the service, price and next step clear. Review several real conversations without publishing personal data. If there are available slots but clients find it hard to book, first fix the inquiry handling, then increase the advertising budget.
Calculate the offer economics
For a promotion, account for the discount, consumables, labor costs and acquisition cost. Compare the contribution of a paid visit to covering expenses, not just the cost of a cheap lead. Separate new and returning clients. Do not assume future repeat visits are guaranteed: first verify them in the actual history.
Bring the client back with quality and clear communication
After the service, ask about their impressions and offer the next visit when appropriate. Keep the client's preferences and the agreed contact method. For publishing photos and mailings, separately check the required consents and applicable requirements. Repeat sales should be based on service and client need, not just continuous discounts.
How to prepare a marketing review
For a consultation with Svetlana Tataurova, collect channel expenses, bookings, payments, cancellations and repeat visits for a single period. Add staff utilization and the list of services. You can start with one problematic service or channel. Agree on a hypothesis, the test period and the success criterion so the next step is data-driven.
Frequently asked questions
Why are there leads but revenue isn't growing?
Check conversion to booking and payment, no-shows, average ticket and utilization. The reason may lie after the advertising inquiry.
Do I need to give discounts all the time?
No. First check the offer, service and economics. An uncalculated discount may increase utilization but worsen results.
