Looking for more ways to increase your bottom line? Your local school districts, community colleges, and universities are a great source of untapped profit for your salon or spa. If you get your foot in the door, you have the potential to create a healthy revenue stream for years to come.

The Academic Calendar is Your Friend

If you or a member of your family is not involved in the school community, you may be completely oblivious to what big events are happening. Luckily, a school’s academic calendar is public knowledge and easy to find. Use it as a marketing road map to help you plan campaigns and promotions.

Some events to keep your eye on:

Sports Events

Sports bring the entire community together and create a great opportunity to grow brand awareness. Sponsoring scoreboards, jerseys, etc. increases your business’s visibility. If you offer more therapeutic services such as massage, think of a way to market your services to athletes and coaches.

Everyone wants to look great for the first day of school. Create some back-to-school specials to help students and teachers show up on the first day looking and feeling their best.
