Are You Leaving Money on the Table?

If you own a salon or barbershop, you’ve probably asked yourself:

  • How can I increase my average ticket size without feeling pushy?
  • What’s the best way to keep clients coming back?
  • How do I market my services without spending hours on social media?

The answer starts with smarter systems and strategies. Let’s dive in.

1. How Can Upselling Boost Your Revenue Without Feeling “Salesy”?

Upselling is one of the easiest ways to grow profits—but clients hate feeling pressured. So, how do you make it natural?
With BookedBy, upselling happens seamlessly:

  • Add-on prompts during check-in (think scalp treatments or beard conditioning)
  • Smart rebooking offers at checkout
  • Personalized recommendations based on client history

Question for you: Are you currently offering add-ons like hot towel treatments or aromatherapy? If not, you’re missing easy revenue.

2. Why Are Memberships a Game-Changer for Salons and Barbershops?

Memberships guarantee recurring income and client loyalty. But what kind of memberships work best?

  • Unlimited blowout memberships
  • Prepaid service bundles
  • Loyalty programs with rewards

Ask yourself: Would your clients pay monthly for VIP perks? Chances are, yes.

3. Is Your Online Booking System Costing You Clients?

Did you know salons with online booking see 35% more appointments? If your clients can’t book 24/7, they might book elsewhere.
BookedBy integrates with your website and social media, making booking effortless.
Question: Can your clients book while scrolling Instagram at midnight? If not, it’s time to upgrade.

4. Are You Using Data to Make Smart Business Decisions?

Your booking system should do more than schedule—it should give insights:

  • Which services bring the most profit?
  • When are your peak hours for dynamic pricing?
  • Which clients are overdue for a visit?

BookedBy’s analytics turn data into dollars.
Question: Do you know your top-selling service right now?

5. How Can Targeted Marketing Increase Your Bookings?

Generic promos don’t work. Personalized offers do.
With BookedBy’s email & SMS tools, you can send messages like:

  • “Loved your last balayage? Book a gloss treatment for 20% off this week.”
  • “Your beard deserves a treat—add a conditioning service to your next cut.”

Question: Are you sending the same promo to everyone? If yes, you’re leaving money on the table.
