Spa Marketing Ideas that will help you book more treatments every day

Spa marketing ideas can help you book more treatments and build a more loyal clientele.  While anyone can come up with a “giveaway” or deep discount to try to lure customers, you’ve probably tried them already. So you know that “discount shoppers” only buy on sale…they’re never the profitable clients you need to succeed.  So what’s the answer?

Spa Marketing ideas that really are profitable

There are lots of marketing ideas that every spa uses: social media, an attractive website, SEO to get found, online reviews.  If you’re looking for help with any of these, we can refer you to the experts who helped us succeed, and can help you too.

But there’s another marketing tool that you may not have considered: it helps you book more treatments for every client.  It helps you “upsell” (by moving your client from “standard” to “premium” treatments) and promote “add on” purchases (such as adding a manicure or product purchases to a facial or other treatment).  How does it work?

The best advertising in New York City…

…delivers the right information to the right people at the right time.  The time when your client is most interested in your Spa Treatments, and open to new ideas, is when they’re booking their appointment.  They want to look and feel great, and they know that visiting you will be a wonderful experience.  So they call you to book their “favorites.”

Your Spa is a busy place, and your front desk often has to help clients in the Spa, and telephone callers.  Successful service training always helps the customer who is right in front of you first, so telephone callers often have to wait on “hold.”  (AT&T Research shows that Spa telephone callers are placed on hold 69% of the time).

What do your callers hear while on hold?  Nothing?  Someone else’s favorite music?  Why not give callers information that they want, and that you want them to have?  Give them “health and wellness tips.”  Offer beauty tips.  Tell them about the health benefits to their visit.  And tell them about the (profitable) additional services that they might want to book: premium services, Spa Days, discounts for booking “multiple” treatments, healthful products, and more.

The secret

There’s nothing more valuable than the time you interact with your client.  It’s the secret to long term client loyalty and your success.  So why not make everything…even your telephone “hold” time, a better experience.

Altice Music on hold: it’s time to give your callers something better

Altice Music on hold comes standard with your new phone service. Music on hold is great: it lets your phone callers know that they haven’t been “cut off.” But you don’t have to keep this same “default” music. If you do, you’ll sound like every other business that uses the service, from butchers to brain surgeons. And you’ll be losing a new marketing opportunity.

Altice music on hold should be upgraded

Your telephone callers are current customers and your future customers. When they call you, they’re calling for help: do you have what they need? Can you solve their problems? Or should they look for someone else? Your business grows every time you help a customer, so why not put “hold” time to use…delivering your message to the people who need your help right now.

Customers don’t call to chat. They want help.

Would you ignore a chance to tell customers and shoppers about more of the ways you can help them? Or about the best reasons to choose you and not your competition?
That’s what you’re doing right now if you settle for playing the default music on hold on your Altice One phones.

The solution is simple.

What would you like your customers to know about you and your business?
– what makes you different from the competition?
– your “old reliable” products that so many of them can use?
– more about the quality and service you offer?
– information about your newest (and most profitable) products?

You can give your callers information that they want, and that you want them to have, even when they’re waiting on hold. It’s like having a new salesperson working for you. Or advertising to customers at the perfect time: when they need you and want information.

Informer Messages are the proven marketing tool

Kubota Advertising should include this Guerilla Marketing Tool

Kubota Advertising is pretty standard nationwide: a photo of a great looking piece of equipment and a few specs. That’s all you need to make the sale, right?  Wrong.  If you ever wonder why your sales aren’t increasing, then you’re ready put a new tool to work and fix the problem.  Here’s how.

Kubota Advertising has to be more than a pretty picture.

Sure, your customers know what their problems are.  They know their biggest challenges.   But that’s where making the sale just begins.  That’s because your potential customer has choices:

• put up with what he’s put up with for years
• look for a John Deer, Wacker Neuson, Komatsu, Case, Massey, or others
• look at the other 3, or 5 dealers in the region
• or buy a Kubota from you

With all these choices, if you’re going to sell a Kubota, you’re going to have to do more that just “take the order.”

Want to sell more?  Stop selling.

Try marketing.  Your customers know that they need the right tool to do the job.  Your job is selling them the equipment that will help them succeed, so stop selling.  Start marketing.  You have more effective marketing tools right at your fingertips than ever before.

• Your website should be filled with hands-on information that your customer will benefit from. It should be a resource that will attract customers because they get something out of it.
• Social Media: that’s what your customers will see. They spend time on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.  Feature photos of your real customers doing real jobs.  Feature stories of success using the equipment that you supply.
• Reviews: it’s how we call shop these days: we search online. We want to figure out what the right choice is, so we look feedback from others.  Admit it or not, we all look for and trust online reviews.  So invest so time making sure you dominate your competition here.

These are the three crucial steps in attracting your customer’s attention and keeping them thinking about you and your product line.  But don’t forget do the job half way.  Job isn’t done until the customer is happy with their purchase

Guerilla Marketing Tool that puts advertising in the right place

Kubota Advertising doesn’t work unless it delivers the right information to the right people at the right time.  Marketing tools like your website and social media attract shoppers.  That’s when they’re most receptive to your information.  But that’s where your competition stops.

You can go further

There are lots of times that your showroom is busy.  Potential customers call, and are asked to “please hold…” while they find a salesman, while you finish up on a call, or while you run to your desk to help them.  So they sit there, listening to “music on hold.”

That’s a lost opportunity.

Informer Messages on hold are custom written and recorded marketing messages that your telephone callers will hear about your dealership, your brands, and how you can help solve their problems, every time they have to wait on hold.  They custom designed to get your customer’s attention, and to deliver your message.  They’ll start the conversations that lead to increased sales.

Here’s a sample of an actual Informer Message

 

Does your marketing stop too soon?  Or does it keep providing the helpful information about your Kubota Tractors that your customers need to make the right choice: buying from you.

PowerPoint Presentation tips guaranteed to keep your audience awake!

Powerpoint Presentation Tips like these can help you keep your audience from snoozing through your presentation, and make the multimedia software a valuable tool that will add the secret sauce the next time you stand up in front of an audience.

Powerpoint Presentation Tips: they’re so simple that everyone can use them

When’s the last time you watched a presentation and thought that the slideshow was valuable?  Possibly never.  From schools to the corporate boardroom, we all make the same mistakes…again and again and again.

Here are some simple suggestions that will make sure that you don’t fall into the same trap.

1. Keep it simple: our eyes can gather information far faster than our ears.  So when you’re designing visuals for your show, don’t overwhelm you audience.  Keep every slide simple.  “Landscape” visuals work best.
2. Have a visual theme throughout the show: when you do your audience won’t be distracted by it.
3. You’re the star of the show: keep it that way.  Your PPT is only there to support you.
4. Use high def images on your slides.  Lo-def looks terrible on a large screen.
5. Bullets: they’re lethal!  So keep them to a minimum.  The best rule of thumb is to limit the number of bullets per slide to three.  Don’t feel that you even have to use text on every slide.  But if you do, that leaves you enough room on the slide to keep your font large enough for everyone to read.
6. Start each point of your presentation with strong, compelling information. You can’t get them to listen by boring them.
7. The 5/5/5 rule (“no more than five words per line of text, five lines per slide, and five text-heavy slides in a row”) is dated, if not dead.  The new rule is still five words per line, but only 3 bullet points per slide.
8. Since the slide presentation is no longer going to dominate the show, what will? You will.  So know your stuff cold.  Memorize your opening and closing.  Refer to notes sparingly.  Don’t just read your script: know it and use note cards as reminders, so you can talk to the audience…not to your script.  If you’re not going to read a script, that will limit you to what you actually know.
9. Take your time delivering your talk, and pause where appropriate.  That can build suspense and get your audience to listen.  How much do you listen when a speaker drones on and on in monotone?
10. Practice makes perfect, so rehearse.  And do a “tech rehearsal.”  That’s when you deliver your talk in the actual venue, with the actual technology that you’ll use.  Do it and you won’t show up without the “dongle” or the cords or the connectors. (And won’t embarrass yourself)

These are Powerpoint Presentation Tips you can use every day.

PowerPoint is a tool that can improve your presentation.  Or it can help you fail.

Rule 1 is the key: Keep it simple and you’ll do just fine.

 

We use the KISS rule, with short points, focus on distinct topics, and leading with compelling information (“hot buttons”) when we give Power Point presentations, or when we create scripts for “Marketing Messages on hold” that will grab your customers’ attention and deliver your message to them.  Find out more about simple yet effective messages on hold at www.informermessages.com or click here for more information
