Niche Marketing Strategies
Marketing a Hair Clippers Business
At Gaebler, we've seen what great marketing can do for a small business. But if you own a hair clippers business, exceptional marketing may well be the determining factor in your long-term survival and success.
For a hair clippers business, the line between success and failure is based on more than the execution of core competencies.
Like it or not, product quality alone doesn't deliver repeat customers. Cash is king in today's marketplace, so your marketing plan needs to focus on value messages.
Managing Negative Publicity
Not sure how to handle negative PR? You're not alone. It's a probably faced by many hair clippers businesses. But the time to address your response to negative publicity is before it happens. If you wait until a crisis hits, it's already too late to control the message. At Gaebler, we advise our business partners to have an updated crisis response plan in place at all times. In a crisis, accurate contact lists can be a lifesaver. A top quality mailing list provider can provide fast turnaround times on up-to-date and filtered lists.
Competitive Awareness
Competitive awareness is the starting point for creativity in marketing. There's nothing wrong with creativity, but if it precludes your messaging from being represented alongside other hair clippers businesses, there's a good chance that you're missing something. At a minimum, we recommend seeking a third-party perspective before you adopt any innovations that dramatically alter your marketing model.
Bundling
Messaging matters - but only to the degree that it communicates value to cost-conscious consumers. Businesses that bundle products tap into the market's psyche by creating the perception (real or imagined) of cost-savings. Most hair clippers businesses have the ability to bundle multiple products and services into a single offering that customers find appealing. Since the bundling concept is based on discounts, consumers expect to pay less for the bundle than they would if they were to buy the products separately, so you'll need to make sure your bundle offers real value to buyers.
