Help your clients stay connected with their loved ones by activating online gift vouchers today with the help of Phorest Salon Software.
Now, we are all fully aware of the current global situation. We’ve closed up shop, we’re heading on our one walk a day and are staying home wherever we can. And whilst we may have started to get the hang of this new lifestyle, the one thing that remains difficult is not being able to see our loved ones.
During this time, it is especially important to keep connected with friends, families and colleagues. Unfortunately, all the March, April and May birthdays, anniversaries and any other celebrations have been put on hold and moved to a virtual party instead. Luckily, there is a way for you to still send your love and brighten up someone’s day.
Phorest, the leading software choice for the hair industry has officially launched online gift vouchers exclusively to their clients, with the aim of offering salons the opportunity to also brighten up someone’s day.
Fully integrated into the software system, the online Gift Voucher feature can simply be turned on at the press of a button. Gift Voucher purchases can be stored to individual clients cards with in-depth reporting available.
Better yet, your clients can purchase gift vouchers via your salon branded app or online booking. You can also promote your gift vouchers using the state of the art Phorest marketing suite, which contains numerous email and SMS templates, ready for you to let your clients know that online shopping isn’t the only way to buy your friends a birthday present.
Within the first three days of launching, Nathan’s salon was in the top 3 most successful UK Hair Salons selling gift vouchers.Nathan Jermy, owner of The Cutting Room in Cambridgeshire is just one Phorest user who implemented the online Gift Voucher and saw immediate success. Within the first three days of launching, Nathan’s salon was in the top 3 most successful UK Hair Salons selling gift vouchers. Nathan says, “With the email templates set up and ready to go, it cut out the time to think of my own campaign. Also, the ease of having a link already set up which securely took payment through the online section of our website with the added bonus that each voucher was stored on each client’s individual accounts made it foolproof so I launched it the same day as Phorest did.” [ytp_video source="mzYS-oLVgLI"] Melanie McBreen, owner of Changes Hair Salon in Milton Keynes also saw tremendous success once she decided to switch on the Gift Voucher feature. "The online Gift Voucher has been a brilliant addition to our offering in these uncertain times. It exceeded our expectation and we sold over 40 vouchers in the first few days, adding £3000 to our cashflow. We were bowled over by how supportive and generous our clients are of our business, it means so much at this time," says Melanie. Give your clients the opportunity to share some love with their friends, family or a Key Worker by activating online Gift Vouchers in your salon today.
