Salon Success: Create a Buying Environment

The Two Minute Salon Manager’ Antony Whitaker from growmysalonbusiness.com says that many salon owners need to look outside the industry to realise that successful retailing is not just about creating a selling environment but it’s just as much about creating a buying environment. Developing the product knowledge and the communication skills is only half the story, the other half is about creating an environment that makes people want to buy before the hairdresser has even said a word! Look at successful retailers in other industries for inspiration!
