4 Steps to Success with Your Online Store

Easy ways to get the word out about your Online Store.

You've set up your Online Store, selected your faveorite brands, and even connected your bank account to ensure commission payments flow smoothly. So, what’s next? It’s simple: get the word out!

Here are the steps to let your clients know about your Online Store:

STEP 1: Add Shop Now buttons everywhere you can think to put them: your website, social media, digital newsletters, and epromos. You want to make it easy for your clients to get to your Online Store.

STEP 2:  Share your Online Store link at every opportunity: text it to clients, add it to your appointment confirmation emails and receipts, and even send regular product recommendations. And take advantage of your social media channels. Create social posts about your favorite products or post a tutorial about how to use a specific product. Make fun TikTok videos showing quick before and afters or demonstrate how to use the right products on curly hair or the best frizz buster for humid days…the possibilities are endless. Just remember to include your store link and specific product links for your Online Store.

STEP 3: Use QR codes to drive traffic to your Online Store. It’s easy to create a quick QR code using your Online Store link. Many free QR code generators, like QRcode-Monkey, can help. Drop your QR code onto mirror clings for your stations, front window or door, and even restroom mirrors. Place tent cards and signage in your salon at the front desk, in the waiting or retail area, and at each station.

What is Client Connect?

Once you have introduced your Online Store to your clients, keep up the efforts with regular product recommendations, and mention your store in your client consultations and ongoing communications. After all, they can shop your Online Store only if they don’t know about it (and have easy access to it)!
