I think that is a great idea! I also like the free manicure gift for them to give away. My luck I would get to many free ones calling at once. The upgraded pedi is a win win for both you and the client. I like it. When I first started doing nails I worked on commision and after a year decided to move salons and go to booth rent. I was really scared that my clients wouldn't follow me, but everyone did. Not that I had a whole lot but I needed them all. I only had one pedicure client and alot of gaps in my days so I gave a free pedicure to every client for thanking them for following me. After that they were hooked and all still get pedicures and it doubled my business.

The January Lull... Ideas Hi Teks, I am working on a holiday promotion/gift for my clients. Because I thought I would STARVE last Jan/Feb/March, (really! Never in my 28 years have I seen so many holes in my schedule!) Many of my clients are retired now, and spend the winter in Fla. or somewhere south. So... I was thinking about giving a gift certificate for an upgrade to a "Deluxe Pedicure" in the months of Jan/Feb/March. I did a promotion last year where I gave my clients a gift certificate for a manicure to give to someone else! It could be a relative, a friend, or for the office gift exchange. It was essentially a free manicure gift certificate that they could give to someone who has never been to my nail salon before. I had a lot that went unused though. :-( I guess it comes down to if they didn't actually pay for it, it had no value. So.. this year, instead of discounting the pedicure service, I was thinking I would give them a pedicure gift certificate for an upgraded deluxe spa pedicure! Our pedicures are $32.00, and I was thinking of adding a paraffin service for their hands and perhaps a leg massage along with the foot massage. I am hoping that once they try the "upgraded" pedicure, they will want to have more of them! It would also be a way to fill in the holes in my schedule during those 3 months. As I would still be charging the regular pedicure price, I wouldn't be losing money on the service either. The free paraffin would add another 5 minutes and maybe a cost to me of 50-75 cents for the product. So what do ya'll think? I am open to other suggestions too!
