] So grab your shears,

turn up the volume, and let's hustle. Welcome to the Hair Hustle Podcast. This

is episode 10. And I am so excited to be here with you today as we kick off

this December. If you can believe it. As we begin to round out the year, I want

to say thank you so much for being here with me on this last few months of the

year. I appreciate you coming to listen. Also, we are going to talk today about

creating seasonal promotions that attract and that get you sales. Now, I know

that you're all excited to be here with me today. I'm so excited to be here

with you today. I know that you are like Heather. I already have all of my

retail promotions lined up.

] It's the beginning of

December. And if you do high five, I am so proud of you. You can keep

listening. It's a short, fun episode. And maybe you can even get some tweaks to

really move through some product or even increase your add-on services for your

team or for yourself. This episode could be very beneficial for you. And then

if you are like, 'sister', I am so far behind. This is for me. I am so happy

you're here as well. Let's dive right into it. In this episode, I want to share

five tips that are creative that can either elevate the promotions that you are

already running or there's something that you can simply start right away. You

can start them today because you don't have a ton of time.

] We're going to get you

going because let's be honest, December is one of the busiest months for

salons. Why are we not making it the most busy month for salons? Why are we not

making it the most profitable? Let's get started with tip number one. We are going

to do a countdown to Christmas. So if you have not started this, this is

similar to my 12 deals of Christmas. If you're like, I can't do 12 deals of

Christmas because I don't have that kind of time. That's a-okay. You could do

the 12 days of Christmas and like list them off and then someone could pick and

like take advantage of what those would look like. But also you could do a

countdown to Christmas. How fun would that be to have it be seven days in

December?

] Where you simply build

excitement. A couple of examples for days and things that you could do would

simply be, purchase a gift card of $100 or more. You get $20 in salon bucks. We

don't always recommend 20%, but it's one day and it's one day only. And it's

not like an annual commitment because it's simply the seven days that you're

counting down to Christmas. Also, maybe a free conditioning treatment with any

color service. We can post this on our social media, hoping to engage with some

guests that maybe need to get in last minute. And we can
