I am also losing clients, most of whom would fall into the upper end of middle class. My reaction is to offer new services (like the rock star toes) which are less expensive and less of a committment. My business plan is to put these services on the menu quickly, then begin building my regular clientelle up again. There are fewer people out there looking for me, so I need to expand my reach with advertising. Then I have to give them more service, more retail opportunities at good prices. Many of these women spend money on botox treatments, and you can rest assured they will be happy to find cheaper alternatives and there are lots out there right now. The advances in topical wrinkle treatment are amazing, so that's where I'm going to focus phase 3 of my plan.
