If you are looking for a new Salon POS system then you really need a good salon software package
. There is little point in getting a computerised cash register when you could get a system that can make your salon more profitable.
With a salon software system you will not only get a full POS system but a comprehensive appointment book, a means to keep client records, a stock control system, a payroll system and a means to keep the books for your accountant.
All this may seem a little daunting but you are probably doing all this anyway, just not in a particularly organised way. With salon software everything is in one place and streamlined. Choose an easy to use package with fast pages that will look really professional to your clients. Your provider should offer full training for you and your staff with ongoing support. You dont want a complicated package and a heavy manual to tell you how to run it.
Your new salon software package will be able to message your clients to remind them of their appointments so you will reduce your no show clients. When your clients visit the salon, give them a new client form to collect their essential contact details. Most clients are more than happy to tell you about themselves so make a note of anything that might be useful. This can and should be recorded so that when your client visits again it is as though they never left. Make sure your client records are recorded properly on your system, this is your client base and all the records you need will arise from here. You will be able to record week by week how many new clients you have. You will be able to see if some clients have not returned. You can trigger management reports that will tell you exactly how your salon is doing so that you can make changes when necessary rather than having a nasty shock at the end of the year.
So start your New Year with a new salon software system that will change the way you run your salon and make you more profits.
