Do the Right People Know You Exist?
As an aesthetician, you know how important it is to attract the right types of clients for your business. But if no one knows about you, how do those people find you? Marketing yourself and your services is key to getting the word out and helping customers discover who you are—and why they should choose you over the competition.
When it comes to marketing your aesthetics services, understanding who your ideal client is can help guide all of your decisions with ease. There are certain types of skin conditions and certain types of people that you likely feel very good about treating. Have you clearly outlined that type of client? The first step of marketing is knowing who you are attracted to and attracting them to your business. Brainstorm on the places that type of client would tend to go, the magazines and blogs they would read, and what they like to do with their free time. Consider the age, location, gender, interests and values of this group. This will help you determine what type of messaging and content will be most effective at reaching them. This is sometimes referred to in marketing as defining a persona. Once you have a clear picture of this person in mind, then it’s time to start thinking about ways to reach them.
Although there is much said about social media and being active in that space, in our industry, the best clinics grow through referral and word of mouth. Social media has its place, as does email campaigns, visibility, etc. Most successful clinics concentrate on marketing to their target client within a 2-8 kilometer radius of the clinic.
Marketing your aesthetics business within a small, local radius can be incredibly valuable. By focusing on the immediate community around your clinic, you can build relationships with potential clients and generate positive word-of-mouth referrals from satisfied customers. Furthermore, local marketing efforts are often more affordable and targeted than broader marketing campaigns, meaning that your marketing dollars go further and are more likely to generate returns. By building a strong reputation within your community, you can establish yourself as a trusted provider of quality aesthetic services and lay the foundation for long-term business growth. So if you haven’t already, it’s time to start thinking about ways to market your business to the people who matter most — your neighbours, friends, and fellow community members.
Are getting good referrals really that important?
Absolutely, yes! Word-of-mouth recommendations are one of the most effective ways to get new customers and build a strong client base. Ask your satisfied clients to share their experiences with others, so they know why they should come to you for their beauty needs. Make sure you tell them where to go to leave a review, such as directing them to Google or Facebook. Don’t be afraid to grab some of those quotes and reuse them in other places, like on your website. One good review can go a long way!
Monitor Customer Feedback
Finally, monitor customer feedback on social media or with simple surveys. Monitoring customer feedback is essential to make sure you are meeting their expectations and to identify areas that need improvement, which can help you with your services and ultimately grow your aesthetics business. By consistently listening to and addressing customer feedback, you can establish trust and loyalty among your clientele, and potentially attract new customers through positive reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations.
