Hello everyone!
We’re only three weeks away from Thanksgiving (and Black Friday 
), which means the holiday season is in full swing. As we shared last week in our ‘Tis the Season to Thrive series, it’s the perfect time to show clients how much you appreciate them. One way to show your thanks is by offering promotions to help you stay connected with your clients. This will also encourage re-bookings and help you finish the year strong!
Promo Ideas for the Holiday Season:gift:
- Gift with Purchase: Offer a small gift or free product with a service booking. It could be a sample of a new product you’re using or a cute holiday themed item. Clients will love the thoughtfulness of this gesture and it’s an easy way to add extra value.
- Holiday Discount Packages: Create a bundle of services at a special rate (such as “Book a haircut + color treatment and receive a complimentary blowout). StyleSeat has you covered to set up discounts and promotions. Simply follow the steps outlined in this article. This will help encourage clients to book more services while still giving them a great deal and a fabulous look for the holiday season!
- 12 Days of Giveaways: Host a “12 Days of Holiday Giveaways” event, offering a new prize or promotion each day for 12 days. Think complimentary services, exclusive discounts, or beauty product giveaways! This fun, festive promotion will build excitement and keep your business front and center in your clients’ minds throughout the holiday season.
- Holiday Photo Contest: Encourage your clients to share a photo of their holiday-ready look on social media with a special hashtag (e.g., #HolidayGlamWith[YourName]). Then you could either choose the best photo, the photo with the most engagement, or choose a winner at random to receive a free service, discount, or holiday gift! This will help increase your social media presence and get the word out about your business while also creating a celebratory event for your clients.
- Charity Drive with a Discount: Run a charity promotion where clients can receive a discount on their service by donating items like canned goods, winter clothing, or toys to a local charity. It’s a great way to give back during the holidays while incentivizing bookings and bringing your community together.
As you gear up for the holiday season, these promo ideas are a great way to keep your clients engaged, show them how much you appreciate their support, and ensure your schedule stays full through the new year. We can’t wait to see how you make the most of the season and finish the year strong!
