A customer file is one of the keys to the development of your hair salon or beauty salon. Without this precious information about your customers you risk limiting the potential development of your turnover! Today, there is so much competition in the beauty sector (more than 87,000 hair salons and nearly 50,000 beauty salons in France), each prospect or customer is important. Gone are the days when you were the only establishment in the neighbourhood, now there can be several hairdressing salons in the same street. You therefore need to "know everything" about your customers to build loyalty. To do this, a customer file is essential.
Knowing a customer's average record, the number of visits per year or the services he requests helps to build customer loyalty. To increase your turnover there are some basic principles, attract new customers through communication or marketing, or increase the number of visits of existing customers and their average basket. This second solution is simple and costs almost nothing. All you have to do is say the right words to the right person. And you can choose these words based on the habits of your customers that you have recorded in your customer file. For example, if a customer comes only 3 times a year, offer her interesting promotions or a loyalty card to make her come back more quickly.
Whether digital or paper, the customer file must be updated instantly during or after each service. It is a unique database that offers a 360° view of each client. It should contain :
If keeping all this paperwork up to date scares you... and we understand you!
The functionalities of the Management offer of the Wavy application, linked to your cash register, stocks, planning and financial reports, allows you to digitize your customer file in order to optimize your chances of increasing your turnover.
Whether it is the last services performed or consumption habits, you can record everything. In one click, when a customer arrives, you can see that she always takes a coffee before her service.
Offer her one, the client will feel that she is unique and that you remember her previous visit. Beyond that, the Wavy checkout system makes it easy to create sms mailings to build loyalty.
For example, select your male clients who have not been here for several months and offer them a barber service at a reduced price. And hop, a tailor-made offer to make your customers come back and challenge the competition!
