Beauty
Business Card Salon, What You Want From A Business Card Beauty
Business Card Salon
Here you will find links to places where you can
both design and order your salon business cards and other stationery
online,
and have them delivered to your door, no matter
where you are.
But first, a word of caution – this is a site
devoted to salon marketing that works, right? (If you’ve landed here
without
visiting anywhere else on the site, please be our
guest and have a snoop around…particularly our
Free 7-Step Fast-Start Salon Marketing Mini Course, and the
world’s only purpose-built salon marketing tool,
the
Essential Salon Owner’s Marketing Toolkit.)
Most people in business regard the humble business
card as little more than ‘something to remember me by’ – but in
fact, it
can and should be used as a powerful marketing tool.
So before you head off to the sites listed below to
design your beauty salon business card, think about this:
Your business card is often the only thing your
prospective customer has to remind them of you. So
1) Use the back of the card, not just the front. It’s all valuable
real estate.
2) On the back of the card, put an offer. Not a
discount, an offer such as a reward for referrals.
3) On the front of the card, put your photo. Yes,
your photo. A great big smiling shot of YOU. Why? Because people
want
to do business with people, not some faceless
entity. People remember people, they don’t tend to remember
meaningless
pictures of models with swan-like necks, eyes
blissfully closed, getting a massage or a facial. YOU are the face
of your
business, so use it. After all, often the only real
difference between you and your competitors is you. You are the
brand.
4) Put your contact details in BIG writing. Why make
people squint to find your number?
5) Make your card BOLD – outlandish colours, big
type face, maybe an odd shaped card…heart shaped, square, even a
round
one. Even better, have it made into a fridge magnet.
Anything to make your card easy to find.
6) Put a web address on it, if you have a website.
7) Hint: Do NOT suggest they look you up in the
Yellow Pages. That’s where all your competitors are!
Here are some links where you can go and actually
design your card online, and then order it and have it delivered to
you.

About the
Author...
For nearly 19 years,
Greg was Executive Producer of News for Channels 7 & 9. Since 1996
he's advised and coached large and small companies on their public
relations and marketing strategies. In 2004, one of those clients
was a salon owner who complained there were no 'off-the-shelf' tools
for the salon and spa industry to help them get more clients, and
increase their average client spend. Later that year, Greg and salon
sales specialist Jill Groves launched the Essential Salon Owner's
Marketing Toolkit. By mid-2006, these simple tools were being
used profitably by 587 salons and spas in 14 countries.
