TOP 10 TIPS TO PROMOTE BRIDAL BROWS & LASH TREATMENTS IN YOUR SALON

With the Wedding season upon us, there will be increased demand for Bridal Brow and Lash treatments. Did you know? There are *278,599 weddings every year in the UK according to *UK Weddings Taskforce at ukweddings.org. The wedding industry is a huge business and offers many lucrative opportunities for salons with Brides-to-be, Bridesmaids, Bridal parties and Wedding guests all wanting to look their best for the big day.

 

Here are our top 10 tips to promote Bridal Brows & Lash Treatments in your salon:

 

  1. EDUCATE

Educate your customers and potential customers on the benefits of having Bridal Brow & Lash treatments in your salon in preparation for the big day, from beautiful defined lashes and brows to less maintenance.

For example, the Elleebana Lash Lift treatments lasts up to 8 weeks and not only does it open up the eyes to give the appearance of beautiful longer, thicker and darker lashes, it also provides much less maintenance than eyelash extensions.

The Elleebana Brow Henna treatment helps to strengthen the hair, restore growth and the natural shape of the eyebrows. It last up to 2 weeks on skin and up to 8 weeks on hair, providing much less maintenance than defining your eyebrows with an eye pencil each day, which is ideal if your Wedding Day is approaching and you are going on honeymoon afterwards (keep in mind repeat service is normally done every 4 weeks).

You can also create a Bridal Beauty Tips blog post with lots of helpful tips and advice, which Brides will find useful that you can post on your website and social media channels.

 

  1. WORD OF MOUTH

Testimonials and referrals are an excellent way to build trust and confidence in your salon, as well as generating new customers.
