Winning a new client costs time and money, while a loyal client returns every few weeks and recommends you to friends. A clear loyalty and referral programme encourages both, and it is easy to run with the booking tools most salons already use.
Keep the rules simple
Clients should understand the programme in one sentence, for example a free treatment after a set number of visits. Complicated points systems are rarely used.
Reward referrals for both people
Give a small reward to the client who refers a friend and to the friend on their first visit. Both sides feel they gain, which makes people more willing to share.
Use your booking system
Many booking tools can track visits and referral codes automatically. This avoids paper cards and lets you see which clients bring the most friends.
Remember special occasions
With the client's consent, send a message on their birthday or before important events and seasons. A personal touch is often more effective than a discount.
Ask for feedback
Short surveys after visits show what clients value and what to improve. Happy clients can be invited to leave a public review.
Promote the programme
Mention it at reception, on your website, in your social media profile and in booking confirmations, so every client knows it exists.
