Low Cost Ways to Market Your Salon
Welcome to our City for the promotion can work well, and is easy to get going if you have an agent or broker familiar with your local. This form of joint-promotion is a Win Win for both your company and the broker, and has two aspects. Most real estate agents and brokers provide a sort of welcome gift their property to buyers, usually a floral arrangement, gift basket or a bottle of champagne. What about it, pointing to a gift of a beauty treatment. You may need to do special treatments ie ” The Welcome Facial” Gift or “Massage Express “. I suggest the treatment should be designed to simply’spotlight’your service’s, it should not’t be the deluxe treatment. Its all about getting them in your salon or spa, so they can meet your wonderful team. The Gift, a special prize to the agent. If the agent is still the traditional flowers or champagne over my next idea could still work it. This is a welcome pack and other local companies can participate. In this package the agent also a welcome letter and a list of local information, eg
The nearest medical center
Dentist
Post Office
List of banks
And all brochures, coupons, special offers from local businesses
Your treatment menu and any special offers or treatment eg sampler Bring this coupon before …. (date) and receive a free back massage 10 minutes. Why not sell bundles of gift vouchers. A great way for salons and spas to large numbers of gift certificates sold, is selling to companies or companies that want to staff performance incentive gifts. Just think of the real estate companies, telemarketing firms and financial groups operating in your area. All these organizations will run’incentive program’to promote the productivity of staff.
The safety measures can save lives
If the truck drivers and the truck companies follow the guidelines and regulations of the trucking laws then many of the truck accidents can be avoided. The truck drivers and the truck companies are eager to make money fast and the safety measures are completely ignored. This jeopardize the life of the truck drivers as well as other passengers.
Some of the federal rules are:
• The regulation says that the truck drivers should be qualified and they have to be periodically checked and tested for ailments and drug prescriptions.
• Truck drivers must maintain a log book. They are allowed to drive for a maximum 11 hours with 10 hours rest in between.
• The size of the truck and the loading capacity and volume is clearly stated.
• The way the load has to be secured is also mentioned.
• The roads where the trucks are allowed to run is clearly mentioned for each state and its county/cities.
• The maintenance of the trucks and regular overhauling has been made mandatory.
Besides these general rules, the traffic regulations and laws also have been very descriptive about dos and don’ts. But most of the truck drivers who are essentially paid by the mile, over stretch themselves to earn more money. Instead of driving within the speed limit, the truck drivers drive over speed to travel more miles. This causes many accidents. The truck companies also try to cut cost and therefore overlook the rules for overloading and truck maintenance. They let the driver drive more than 11 hours and most of the time the log books are altered or manipulated. Due to ignorance of rules semi truck accidents occurs.
