Clipperguy Business Building from A to Zoot - Letter I is for Instagram it!

Letter I is for Instagram it - Social media is evolving and our industry’s use of it is moving along with the changes.  Pinterest is a favorite of the fingernail world. Barbers love instagram.  Educators are now discovering Periscope.  The basic message of this video is “get busy on social to build business”, not specifically to use Instagram.

As far as Instagram, goes, though, I have a suggestion.  Stop using your phone.  When you create a haircut that you wish to share instead of reaching for your phone ask the client for theirs.  If you are like most haircutters 99% of your friends are other haircutters.  They might like you work, but, they will never buy a haircut from you.  We cut each other for FREE.  You have 2,000 followers, nearly all cutters.  Your client is perhaps a dentist.  They have only 250 followers, some dentists, no haircutters, all potential clients.  Use their phone to capture the cut and have them post it to your Instagram and tag you in it.  They also have this cut in their gallery for their next visit to show you as a reminder of what they liked.
