The Renaissance era was a time of profound cultural, artistic, and intellectual rebirth. It marked the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity, embodying the spirit of exploration, innovation, and transformation. This collection, Renaissance Reimagined: A Rebirth, draws deeply from this period of renewal, reflecting both historical influences and a personal journey of self-discovery.   A Journey of Transformation Creating this collection has been an intensely personal experience for me. Much like the Renaissance represented a rebirth in art and thought, this project symbolizes a rebirth of my own artistic expression. Stepping out of my comfort zone, I embarked on a journey to challenge my established ways of thinking and push the boundaries of my creativity. This collection is not just a tribute to the Renaissance era but also a testament to my growth as an artist and an individual.

BUSINESS NEWS  SOFTWARE IS SOFTWARE IS SOFTWARE…ISN'T IT?...  NO!  That's like saying a car is a car is a car until you compare the driving experience of a BMW 5 Series to a 1200cc city car (great for parking?).  Why have a business system in the first place?  Many salons still work with paper dockets and record their figures on to a programme such as Excel. It makes sense at the time however, after servicing clients all day, it is mentally draining and a waste of your personal time to sit for hours on paperwork.  There are a number of small book-keeping apps that can take the weight off the paperwork. But then accounting packages don't help you manage your appointment bookings. On-line bookings apps have become very popular making It more convenient for clients to book appointments in the your salon.  This is a fantastic development!  But then that doesn't give you in-depth information about your clients. Birthdays, loyalty, biggest spenders, buying history, ambassador clients that send you new clients, clients that stop coming - the list is endless. It is simply not humanly possible to track hundreds, if not thousands of clients without CRM. Therefore CRM (client relationship management) is the way go.  However, when it comes to controlling costs and marketing your business using all the tools at your disposal - client loyalty programme, stock and expense control, staff target setting, performance reviews and profit protection, you are looking at CRM on steroids, ERM (enterprise resource management). It simply does it all.  “LET’S TALK ABOUT ERM”  Visit us on: www.mysalonsoftwareint.co.za Contact us: Email:   info@mysalonsoftware.co.za   Email: terry@mysalonsoftware.co.za | Tel: 083 650 0952 Email: sune@mysalonsoftware.co.za   | Tel: 083 484 2960

Like most businesses, Covid completely changed customer buying habits. Even before the Covid crisis, businesses in the service industry were faced with the dilemma about how to attract new customers believing that getting new clients was the answer. I recently spent three weeks holidaying in the UK and one of the things on my bucket list was to see how they dealt with the issue of clients. Funny enough they have the same challenges as we do. General Retail, into which hair and beauty salons fall, is trading down. People are just not going the shopping malls as much since Covid and, of course, this is where many salons are located.   So, if clients are not coming to where we are located, we have to learn how to tap in to the  'universe of clients' .    There are really only three types of clients : CURRENT CLIENTS; EX-CLIENTS and FUTURE CLIENTS. And they are all part of the "universe of clients".   CURRENT CLIENTS: Do you know how many loyal clients you have? Which 20% of your clients spend 80% of the turnover? Do you know how many new clients you are getting? Do you know how many clients you are losing? If you can't answer these questions you need to get CRM Software (client relationship management).   EX-CLIENTS: All business lose clients and unfortunately 70% of those is because of client dissatisfaction, not meeting expectations and failing to give clients value for their money. But memories are short. Using CRM Software you can reach out to clients who have stopped coming to you, and, if your message/invitation contains a good offer, some of those client WILL respond.    FUTURE CLIENTS (of which there is an abundance): That's the beauty of client satisfaction net-work marketing. Your most loyal clients are also your best ambassadors. Recognise and Reward them bearing in mind you are marketing to their friends and colleagues as well as the "Universe Of Clients".    Visit us on:   www.mysalonsoftwareint.co.za Contact us: Email:   info@mysalonsoftware.co.za   Email:   terry@mysalonsoftware.co.za   | Tel:  083 650 0952 Email:   sune@mysalonsoftware.co.za   | Tel:  083 484 2960
