Bag Drops for Salons & Spas
Pamper them before they pamper their clients.
What to Drop
Beauty professionals appreciate beautiful things — make the gift as Instagrammable as your card.
Cupcakes or artisan chocolates (make them Instagrammable)
Scented candles or luxury hand cream
Beautifully presented gift hampers
Why It Works Here
Salons are full of relaxed people with time, money, and their phones in hand.
Long Appointments, Relaxed Clients
Salon appointments last 30 to 90 minutes. Clients are relaxed, receptive, and have their phone in hand. Perfect scanning conditions.
Stylists Are Natural Recommenders
Hairdressers and beauty therapists talk to clients all day long. They recommend restaurants, services, and products constantly.
Beautiful Gifts Get Shared
A stunning hamper gets photographed and shared on the salon's social media. Your card gets seen by their entire following.
Marketing Ideas
Practical, actionable ideas you can use this week.
Drop Something Photogenic
Cupcakes or treats that look as good as they taste will end up on Instagram. Make the gift so pretty they have to photograph it.
Target Complementary Audiences
Salons that serve a complementary audience to yours are gold. Wedding photographers target bridal salons. Personal trainers target beauty spas.
A Treat for the Team
"A little treat for the team, from [Your Business]" on the card. Simple, warm, and gives them a reason to talk about you.
Ask for Station Placement
Ask if cards can be placed at styling stations or in the waiting area. Clients have 30 minutes to notice and scan.
Example Scenario
A wedding photographer drops cupcake hampers at 6 bridal hair salons. The stylist photographs the beautiful hamper and shares it on the salon's Instagram with the card visible. A bride-to-be sees the post, scans the code from the photo, sees the photographer's portfolio and wedding packages, and sends a booking enquiry that evening.
