Shannon my friend.........It is happening to me also. Stick to your guns...I promise Christmas should pull us out for a few fast and furious weeks.
More importantly, when we get those peeps that are new...we need to think of clever ways to keep them after the holidays. Recently I came across a person who came in on a GC. She made it clear that she could not afford me. So I sold her on my mini pedi which is $25 They choose callus wk or cuticle detail( but not both)a nice slat glow and polish all for 30 mins yeh. So I explained it to her str8-"""" I would rather cultivate your business over the long run then loose you now. So I offered her my mini pedi at $25 and I said I would do as much as I could in 30 mins. (All light wk really.)She went for it and I have seen her 3 times at almost 3 wk intervals. Then she bought a GC for a mini pedi for a friend! HEELLLLLOOOOOOO * Am I cutting myself short?* *NO!* *I have been pushing my mini pedis because at $25 each...it makes more sense to do 2 an hr for $50 than one at $45 riiiight*! I talk them up and explain " I'll do whatever is the most important to you in a pedicure! *I will say this over and over peeps-It is about perceived value!* If they think they are getting more for less than it is a good deal. Once they are hooked on this idea....lock um in........"as much as you can do for $25" by pre selling them a package. Make sure you explain that ,come spring they won't be able to get all that wk for so cheap :) They will bite ..especially if they think they can't have it anymore. It is called the "Take Away". Do you have education certificates hanging on your wall? Act like you do and believe in your services and the value you bring to your clients!!!!! This is not the time to cut yourself short. ok off my box now lol Peace to your day.
