Banish the Blue Monday Blues

The third Monday of January is known as Blue Monday because it is considered the most depressing day of the year. Lack of energy and optimism (and a dwindling bank account) all contribute to feelings of gloom. It’s an ideal time to spread some cheer. Why not turn this Blue Monday around with some fun marketing strategies?

The third Monday of January is known as Blue Monday because it is considered the most depressing day of the year. Lack of energy and optimism (and a dwindling bank account) all contribute to feelings of gloom. It’s an ideal time to spread some cheer. Why not turn this Blue Monday around with some fun marketing strategies?
Think about why people go to the salon. Apart from essential beauty maintenance, it makes them feel good! Give your loyal client-base a good excuse to cheer up or spoil themselves. Think about what you can offer as a Blue Monday pick-me-up.

Say Thank You

Show some appreciation to your loyal customers by sending out thank you notes to put a smile on their faces. Make them feel extra special by personalising the note and add an exclusive offer. Send something to all your best clients by post or email as a little reminder that you care. Think about adding a free sample product for them to try at home (suggesting a little ‘me-time’ is bound to lift their spirits!).

Host a Blue Monday Event

Why not go one step further and host an event? One of the contributing factors to the Blue Monday label is leftover Christmas debt. So trying to sell clients products or services at the event is not a good idea. Instead think more long-term. Pamper clients with free taster treatments and sample products to cheer them up. This will encourage them to return as soon as those January payslips have arrived.

Social Media 

Get your social media buzzing. Start talking about Blue Monday on your socials. Remember to promote your special offer. Consider turning the salon blue with some lighting and highlight the benefits of the treatment you are offering. Explain how it will help lift anyone wallowing in Monday misery.

Blue Monday Add-ons

For clients already booked in on Blue Monday, include free add-ons instead of offering discounted treatments. Clients will enjoy a more luxurious pampering session – and you won’t lose anything. This will lift any unhappy clients out of the doldrums!
Miserable consumers will appreciate being shown a little love this Blue Monday. Take advantage of this marketing opportunity by making them feel special.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
