Introduction

The world of social media is both what people are talking about, and more importantly where they are talking.

It presents a great opportunity for any small business owner to gain new customers. As a hair salon or barbershop, there are a few ways to get your brand out there.

Get on Yelp

• Today’s customers look for reviews about products and services before buying. The #1 place for reviews is Yelp.

• Yelp is a great platform for showing off your customer service skills by interacting positively with customer’s reviews.

• Claim your business name.

• Add contact information, hours of operation, and anything extra that will help a customer reach out.

Utilize Instagram

• Visuals are powerful. Try showing off before and after pictures of your clients.

• Ensure that your photos are visible by adding relevant hashtags such as #HairCut, #HairSalon, or #Barbershop.

• Add something that gives your business an edge. Got the best mohawks in Chicago? Incorporate #Chicago and #Mohawk if you want your audience to know where to go to get the best.

Word of Mouth

• Try offering a free service to someone who brings in a

friend, and offer that friend a referral discount.

• Put together a Facebook page and reward customers

for things like tagging you in their next #haircut

selfie, following you on Instagram, or even

leaving you a good review on Yelp!
