Tips & tricks to grow your business with gift vouchers
Gift vouchers don’t sell themselves; you need to promote them. Here are some practical tips to boost gift voucher sales in your salons and spas.
- Actively sell gift vouchers
- Offer free gift vouchers
- Promote gift vouchers online
- Run a marketing campaign
- Partial Redemption of gift vouchers
Actively sell gift vouchers
Sell customized gift vouchers directly on your website, online booking portal and social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. When a client purchases a gift card, he/she can customize the voucher value based on their preferences and budget. Not every client wants to go with the voucher value and redemption item that you wish. They want their preferences to be at the top, so allowing personalization during checkout, allows clients to come back for more gift voucher purchases.
Offer free gift vouchers
Always keep one thing in mind, you can’t sell gift vouchers so easily. People always tend to have some benefits. Offering gift vouchers free for special occasions, birthdays or anniversaries makes client feel special and let them convenience themself for more spending on your salon or spa business. This not only makes them feel special but also increases client retention and attracts new clients.
Promote gift vouchers
Social media is one of the greatest awareness creating platforms in this digital era. Create a complete marketing strategy to promote your gift vouchers. Gift vouchers play an important role for the more reserved person. They were not interested in everything but they were crazy about something. Promoting these gift vouchers even helps them or their loved ones purchase gifts for themselves. So it is important to plan and post regularly about gift vouchers across all your social media platforms.
