Hey guys..

Im not an owner but i would very much like to join in on this thread...

I've been pushing for computer system eg. Shortcuts. for about 18 months.. we still do everything manually with a paper book & client files. I Find it so un organised & un professional.

We just find that a lot of appointments get stuffed up, like written in on wrong days.

I have a lady from Hair ware coming out to the salon next weekend to demonstrate to my boss how much of a benefit the systems really are..

I made an Email address for the salon & had plans to start taking email addresses from clients to send them updates. Tried it on myspace to but we don't have enough clients on there or the right ones to make the most of it.

I recently made flyers up on my own computer at home offering 20% off services over $30 on weekdays.. Quite successful to fill up quiet times.. the local post offices have forms that you can fill out to have unregistered mail distributed in your local suburbs, i found this was a very in expensive way to advertise to new clients, entice old ones back & fill up quiet times.

with all of the extra work i put into this salon it makes me sad i don't have my own yet.
