Bestie, let’s talk numbers. 🫶 We’re officially in that sweet spot before the holiday rush — the calm before the storm. And if you play your cards right, you can use these next few weeks to stack your revenue and head into Q4 feeling confident, organized, and ready to secure all the holiday coins.
Here are five simple, actionable ways to boost your income before the year’s busiest season kicks in.
1. Reactivate Past Clients
Remember those clients you haven’t seen in a while? Now is the perfect time to send them a little “hey bestie, we miss you” message.
Here’s what you can do:
-
Send a personalized email or text offering a small incentive to book.
-
Highlight seasonal services they might love.
-
Use friendly language like:
“Hey [Name], your skin deserves a little post-summer TLC. Let’s get you on the books for a glow-up before the holiday season!”
Why it works: Sometimes clients just need a gentle reminder to come back — and personal outreach makes them feel valued.
2. Create a “Mini Glow” Service
Not every client has the time or budget for a full 90-minute facial right now. Offer a quick, affordable service that’s still packed with value.
Examples:
-
30-minute hydration facial
-
Express enzyme treatment
-
Scalp microderm and mask combo for your bald-headed kings 😉
Make it easy to book and market it as the perfect “lunch break glow.”
3. Upsell Retail (Without Being Salesy)
Your clients trust you — so when you recommend a product, they’re already halfway to buying it.
Try this:
-
Pair retail products with every service.
-
Create “mini kits” like a cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF bundle.
-
Show them how the products will extend their facial results at home.
A simple script:
“This serum will keep your skin glowing between visits — I use it myself and love it.”
4. Host a Fall Skincare Event
Events don’t have to be big or expensive. Keep it simple:
-
Invite a handful of clients for an evening of mini facials, product demos, and light snacks.
-
Offer an exclusive event-only discount for services or retail.
-
Go live on social media during the event for extra buzz.
Pro Tip: This not only boosts revenue but also strengthens relationships with your clients — they’ll remember the experience.
5. Start Pre-Selling Gift Cards and Packages
Holiday shopping is already on people’s minds. Start promoting gift cards and service bundles now.
Ideas:
-
Buy a $100 gift card, get $20 free.
-
Pre-sell a 3-service holiday glow package with bonus add-ons.
-
Offer gift card bonuses for your VIP clients.
This sets you up for steady revenue heading into November and December.
