Promote your Online Store

The holidays are all about shopping, so make sure your clients know about your Online Store. With everyone in a shopping frenzy, highlight the ease of purchasing professional products anytime, day or night. Whether they’re stocking up on essentials or looking for last-minute gifts, make sure they know they can shop with you 24/7. 

Beyond shopping for themselves, clients can also find great gift options for loved ones. Think festive hair, skin, and body care gift sets and product subscriptions that’ll have everyone feeling their best long after the holiday season wraps.

If you haven’t set up your Online Store yet, there’s no better time than now. It’s super easy and can be done in about 10 minutes. Curate a selection of your favorite brands, and let your clients shop at their convenience. Get started here.

Unwrap holiday sales with SI’s marketing tools

Add a sprinkle of magic to your marketing. Use SalonInteractive’s automated marketing tools to send clients festive promotions that lead back to your Online Store, ensuring they think of you first!

Automate holiday promos 

Boost your orders and earnings effortlessly. Leverage your favorite brands to send holiday promotions to your clients for you. All emails sent on your behalf link back to your store, meaning you earn commissions on every sale. Amazing, right?

Download our app

Complete each service with personalized Product Recommendations sent directly to your clients through our app. Go to the App Store or Google Play to install, sign in to your SI account, and text or email tailored recommendations in minutes. It’s that easy!

Bundle up for the holidays

Make holiday shopping a breeze by creating enticing product bundles. You can group and save your favorite product collections while sending recommendations. Or, plan ahead with your most popular groupings: color care, curl care, volumizing products, and create bundles that cater to different hair types and client needs. Bundles are also a fantastic way to introduce holiday gift sets!
