These days there are so many salons and spas than I can count within the few miles of my house in Chandigarh like Headmasters, Cleopatra, Tress Lounge etc. These salons are making a strong online presence in the local salon market in Chandigarh.They are using features like online booking, offers and are following smart brand awareness strategies. Therefore it has become almost impossible to select the perfect salon for my requirements.
In old days the most popular Salon in Chandigarh was Curly Top. It got popularity through word of mouth. But surprisingly the new generation hardly look for it. One of the reasons can be that it has no local website to beat the upcoming competition.I recently started going to a local Salon in Chandigarh’s suburb city Panchkula named “Taj Unisex Beauty Salon”. It has one of the professional services in the area and much hygienic than many Salons. But unfortunately, it’s losing many of its potential customers as they have no` website but just simple business listing and are present in some local directories. This is what most of the Salons doing these days in Chandigarh area. They cannot beat the businesses that have made online presence immensely.
Everybody is using mobile phones in Chandigarh these days. They first look in their mobile to locate spas and salons near their house.
We are all residents of a highly digitized age. If you want to outreach, get customers, and retain them, then make a strong digital presence.
It means to have a website and SEO tactics implemented on it plus social media presence.
It is becoming important than previous years for your business to look distinct from your competition. By doing a survey of some local spas and salons in Chandigarh we came to the conclusion that start-ups are getting more aggressive in hiring a digital marketing company to promote their website and are investing more in social media to stand out in the competition. The millennial who are owners or customers of salons and spas are no doubt trendier in their thoughts. This is all because of social media. Therefore the established businesses have to gear up to understand outstanding digital marketing strategies. The start-ups should hire digital marketing company in Chandigarh who knows the standards of ethical SEO which is very important these days otherwise Google bans websites and businesses if they follow unethical ways to come to no. 1 position in search result pages. There are many digital marketing tactics to become visible and outsmart the competition but for that, you need an updated and fast forward digital marketer.
Spa and Salon businesses are restricted to the sectors they are situated in and if you don’t apply the right strategies for your business, it will have to face the consequences.
