New Age Thinking

Published by admin on May 21, 2010

Okay, I’m 47 years old. I can smell 50 from here. I have a team of young professionals that I have to try to stay at least one step ahead of in the hip zone. With all their texting between each guest they see, face booking, and emails they are the technology age kids. So what does the old guy do to grow the business and help them grow in this day and age? Groupon! Have you hear of it? On Wednesday March 19, 2010 we pulled the trigger and our groupon offer went out to 125,600 local daily groupon subscribers. We are happy to say that at least some of them knew who we are and 577 people bought a $70.00 coupon and paid only $30.00 for it. Cary O’Briens.com (our web site) sees about 100 -200 hits a day. Wednesday we saw 4,000 + with over 7,000 page hits. That’s cool.

I feel my job (resposnsability) is to help bring new guests into the salon. Their’s is to keep them. We as a salon do not see a big short term gain in this endeavor but, talent, skills, great conversation, and just being nice to people we hope to keep them and that is the win for our company and each team member. A few more people know who we are now. That’s a good thing.

If you purchased a groupon thanks and say hello to me when you are in. If you missed the offer get on groupon today and look for us to launch again in the future.
