It also allows you to share your link and market yourself as an online store. What’s the Commission? You get 20% commission on every sale made through your link, paid at month end, and also receive a report on all the sales done through your link or who have nominated your salon at checkout. This allows you to see who bought what so that you can identify new retail opportunities that might work within your salon! How does Salon Product handle discounts? We stick to the recommended retail prices on the site. We periodically create personalised discount coupons for our subscriber salons, that you can use to market to your clients. This allows each salon to offer their clients something special and salon-specific from time to time, which means YOUR salon brand is perceived as great value and clients will choose to shop through your link!

Do you want to know how the industry fared and how revenue compares with last year? Read ESP’s detailed analysis below. To find out how to implement strategies to improve your revenue and monitor the results contact the ESP Connect team on info@espconnect.africa Industry Analysis for Hair and Beauty We have seen total industry revenue decrease by 15% when compared to December 2020, while this is quite normal as the festive season comes to an end and majority of South Africans return to work. As a whole the industry has generated 24% less revenue and seen 33% less clients in January 2021 compared to January 2020 with the hair industry at 23% less and the beauty industry at 28% less. The standout statistic for me has been the average per docket charge which has increased by 17% which is the highest it’s been since July last year. As an industry it seems we are getting to grips with maximising spend per visit. January 2021 vs February 2021 We have seen a 7% increase in total revenue when comparing January 2021 to February 2021, which is good recovery considering that we spent all of January in a level 3 lockdown, with the average charge per docket increasing by 6% and an increase in total dockets of only 1%. The effects of normal seasonal decreases and a month in lockdown are plain to see. Some businesses will not be able to sustain the loss in revenue and close their doors, this in turn will create opportunities for the businesses who are able to navigate through these challenges as well as entrepreneurs and groups looking to acquire running concerns. These stats are drawn from the ESP client base that make use of our Business Intelligence service. These businesses owners are actively involved in their businesses and use the BI to track and understand the trends which allow them to formulate and implement strategies that will make a meaningful difference to the bottom line.

How often have you seen something that you know will help you in your business only to decide that you simply cannot afford to buy it? If you can clearly see how the purchase will add value to your business going without should not be an option. The smart thing to do is to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages between renting or buying. For example 95% of salons are rented, not owned. Some have done the calculation that the amount you pay on rent could easily repay a mortgage so they buy a property, relocate their salon business and wait to get rich on the asset value of their premises. Financially this makes perfectly good sense. But it also assumes that your team will remain with you indefinitely and that the amount of walk-in business from where you were was not a big contributor to turnover. Also, if one day you decide to sell your business it should be easier to sell if you renting and are in a good location. The wild card of course is the rent cost. We will be covering rent negotiations in a future blog. I have seen arguments for and against owning your own house. There is no doubt that owning property is a good investment however any profit you make in the increase in the property's value is often lost due to either high estate agent fees or high transfer costs. The unknown variable of course is in the maintenance of your own property. For example a few years ago I had to re-do the damp-proof on my house at a cost of R35,000.00. If I was a tenant that cost would be for my landlord. There are countries, France for example, where only about 5% of the population actually own their own houses. The rest just rent and, as the argument goes, have more disposable income for spending on their daily quality of life. And so it is with software. If you buy software it becomes an immediate asset in your business which can be written off at the time of purchase. Owning your own salon software will normally add 20% to the value of the business simply because it is an on-going business with a full operating history. However if yours is a new business or you suffer from low cash flow, choose a rental option. This means no large investment up-front and manageable monthly repayments. In this way your financial exposure is no more than 30 days and from an accounting point of view rentals are fully tax deductible. Either way, if you are serious about your business invest in a good business system. My Salon Software has affordable options on both rental or purchase - going without should not be an option.
