Hello Nail, Hair, and Spa owners across the US, Canada, and Europe! On the Biz Mentra platform (bizmentra.com), I frequently get asked: ‘How can I get past clients to return regularly without spending a fortune on ads?’ The answer is SMS Marketing.
Why SMS Marketing is the Secret Weapon for Salons and Spas
While emails often get lost in spam folders and social media ads require large budgets, SMS boasts an incredible open rate of up to 98%, with most messages read within the first 3 minutes.
- Ultra-low cost: Costs just pennies per message yet drives immediate revenue.
- Fast conversion: Clients read texts directly on their phones and can click to book instantly.
- High retention: Timely reminders ensure clients don’t neglect their beauty routines.
SMS Templates to Reactivate Past Clients After 6-8 Weeks
After 6 to 8 weeks, nails start growing out, hair loses its shape, or skin needs a deep cleanse. Don’t wait for clients to remember you—proactively remind them with a thoughtful message:
SMS Template 1:
“Hi [Client Name], it’s been a while since your last visit at [Salon Name]! Your nails/hair are probably due for some love. Book your touch-up this week and enjoy $15 OFF your service. Click here to claim: [Link] or reply YES to book. See you soon!”
Tips to Optimize This Message:
- Always use the client’s first name to build a personal connection.
- Offer a specific discount ($15 or 15%) rather than a vague offer.
- Include a clear Call-to-Action (CTA) and an online booking link.
Birthday SMS with Voucher: Touching Hearts and Securing Loyalty
A birthday is the only time of year when clients are eager to treat themselves. A sincere wish paired with a small gift will make them feel truly special.
SMS Template 2:
“Happy Birthday, [Client Name]! Wishing you a fabulous day from all of us at [Spa Name]. Treat yourself on your special day with a complimentary upgrade or $20 OFF any treatment this month! Show this text at check-in. Book now: [Link]”
Effective Execution Strategies from Biz Mentra:
- Automate the system: Set up your salon software (like Square, Phorest, Zenoti) to send automated texts 3-5 days before their birthday.
- Flexible validity: Allow clients to use their voucher throughout their entire birthday month to prevent scheduling bottlenecks.
