Communication is at the heart of your business. With so many opportunities for personal interactions during spa visits or treatments, it can be challenging to know how best to communicate with your customers when you’re not interacting with them face-to-face. Email marketing and social media are the best ways to communicate with your customers. Each of these effectively connects with your customers when and where they want to hear from you. But, in marketing and communication, balance is key. Your customers don’t want to feel like they’re just one among many. And you don’t have time to create communications that are specific to each of your customers every time. But striking a balance between automated communications and those with a more personal touch is key to a successful marketing strategy.
Here are a few things to think about when designing a communication and marketing strategy:
Segment Your List
One of the most effective ways to make your email communications more personal is to segment your client list. Instead of taking a “One size fits all” approach, create smaller subgroups and tailor specific email campaigns to each group. You can do this in many different ways. Segment your list into groups such as VIP clients or only those clients interested in a specific category of services (such as facials or massage). You now have the flexibility to tailor your email communications to address the interests and needs of each group directly. These more targeted emails give your clients the feeling that you are speaking directly to them about things they find interesting and help nurture their relationship with your business.
Initiate Online Conversations
Technology has made it possible for you to interact with your clients online. So don’t use social media just to talk at your clients. Use it as a forum to start conversations with them. Ask them questions, look for feedback, and respond to their replies. By using social media as a way to interact with your clients socially, you’re establishing a relationship with them that feels more real than an automated email. And that can lead to more loyal customers who spend more money.
Don’t Forget the Importance of Face to Face
Nowadays, it’s so easy to communicate with everyone online and forget the importance of interacting with them in person. But your business is built on face-to-face interactions. Don’t neglect the opportunities you have to connect with your clients when they visit for a treatment or to purchase a product or service. Prioritizing great in-person interactions should be a key part of your marketing strategy. It’s the perfect time to build a relationship, get to know your clients, and learn about their expectations and needs.
Figuring out the right time and place to communicate with your clients helps you streamline the planning of your marketing calendar. Striking the right balance is key and directly translates into growth in your business.
