Cash in on Christmas – How to Make More During The Silly Season

Did you know that people spend on average 30% more during the Christmas season? The psychology around Christmas spending is interesting, but the important thing to know is that people want to spend – they spend on their loved ones and they spend on themselves. 

So how do we make sure they spend in our Salons? How do we make sure we can have our piece of the pie – and eat it too? 

Today on the podcast I’m going to reveal 2 ways that you can cash in on Christmas – and maximise sales in your salon WITHOUT squeezing in any extra clients.

Is this you?

You started your business because you’re passionate about your craft… you want to do things well, do them your way and really channel your creativity into something that is truly your own.

Only now, you’re bogged down in ‘business stuff’ – payroll, hiring, marketing – what happened to the fun stuff?

So many Salon Owners I know have experienced this – and god knows I did when I opened my Salon.

The problem is, as entrepreneurs we’re used to a certain creative process – but when it comes to business – it just can’t thrive on love, passion, and creativity alone.

Based in Sydney, Laura helps creatives who are facing this very problem and today she shares the 3 main roadblocks every creative faces when they endeavour to turn their passion and craft into a profitable business.
