November and Christmas – Salon Marketing Plan

November is all about preparation for Christmas and maximising your income from any final days of your salon offers. So the Black Friday section below should be read as a way to PROMOTE your last offer days, even if you do not use Black Friday as the marketing message.

In November there are also a few days and events that will help you plan any salon facebook posts....

Key Salon Marketing dates & events in November - UK & US

Black Friday - the end of year Salon Sales

Although Black Friday (25th November - the day after Thanksgiving) is a US holiday, it is increasingly being adopted worldwide as a "last SALE before Christmas" event. This is followed on Monday 28th by Cyber Monday. Perhaps the perfect day for a 1 day online sale of Gift Vouchers?

On Black Friday in the US last year consumers spent a record-breaking $2.4 billion - up an extraordinary 24% on the previous year.
In the UK John Lewis celebrated its biggest sales week of all time on Black Friday 2014.

If you plan to stop all offers at a date in November or December, then MARKET those "sale ends days" to ensure they are booked 100%. If you fill the last days you can always add another "by popular demand".
