6 loyalty programs for your hair salon or beauty salon

A loyalty program is a rewards program that a salon offers its customers to ensure long-term business by offering discounts, rewards, coupons or even free services.


Loyalty program 1: the jackpot system


The jackpot is one of the most popular loyalty programs. It is easy to implement and simple for your customers to understand.

A percentage of the ticket will be put into the customer's kitty, and the customer will receive a discount on the next visit, up to the desired amount of the kitty.

In order to ensure customer visits on a short term basis, you can define a validity date for the pool, for example 12 months. At the end of the 12 months, the "potted" amount will disappear from the jackpot.


Loyalty program 2: gift cards


The gift card is also very common in shops, we have all received at least once a gift card for Christmas or a birthday.

Loyalty Program 4: The Loyalty Card


It is a card that is also often found in restaurant services. It works very simply: after a certain number of visits, a service, package or product is offered.

The VIP card is a purchased card that allows you to have a certain number of discounts on services or products that you select, over a given period of time. You can offer this VIP card to customers who already come on a recurring basis, to thank them for their loyalty. You can also offer this card to customers who come on a more recurring basis.
