How do I make Product Recommendations?

Send your clients customized product suggestions from your desktop or laptop using the Recommendations feature built into SalonInteractive.

DO THIS FIRST: Add your clients to your Online Store so you have quick access to their contact information when suggesting products. To add your clients, you can either connect your point-of-sale software or upload a client list:

At the review stage, you have the option to save the selected products as a bundle so you can recommend the same set of products to someone else later. 

Simply check the box under the selected products that says Save as bundle and then create a name for your bundle.

If you'd like to give your client a special one-time discount on the specific products in your recommendation, select which percentage off you’d like to offer. Otherwise, the default is 0% and no discount will be applied.

Note that whatever % you give to your client will directly affect the sales total and the commission from that sale.

When you’re done reviewing your recommendation, click Send now.
