They still have a lot of potential to help you find new clients and can be great complementary techniques for your digital strategies.

Social network sites and apps today are much more than just means to connect with friends and family. Millions of people visit platforms like Facebook and Instagram on a daily basis just for the sake of finding and trying out new products and services, either with a specific thing in mind or just random browsing.

Show off your work by posting samples of your eyelash extensions. Posting before/after content on your page is a great way to grab attention and show the quality of your craft. Ask your current clients if you could take photos of them when they come in and before they leave. It would be even better if you ask their permission to tag them in posts so you could find your way through their social circles and generate even more interest in your art and increase brand awareness.

As a lash stylist, your work is all about aesthetics. People choose you to boost their looks, so it’s crucial for your brand to be visually appealing. When your clients see how much you care about looking slick and professional, they’ll trust you with their beauty needs. Develop a set of specific guidelines for your visual identity and how you present your work. These guidelines should include even the smallest details, like color palette, graphics, decorations, and the overall visual tone of your page.

Take advantage of every tool you have at your disposal. You may have to spend a little bit on equipment to make sure you have everything you need to create a strong visual identity. Don’t be afraid though; these days, you can easily find affordable smartphones with capable cameras, and there are tons of cheap lighting equipment to enhance the quality of your photos and videos.

Your content should not just be beautiful but also relatable and interesting. There may be hundreds of other lash stylists out there that work just as well as you. In order to be distinct and unique, you need to add a more human aspect to your brand. Try telling your brand’s story and provoke emotions in your audience.

Establishing a close and friendly relationship with your clients helps build trust and loyalty. There are many ways to do so; you can interview your clients, take live videos of yourself while giving eyelash extension services, celebrate special occasions, and actively stay in touch with your followers by asking questions, answering comments, and engaging in conversations.

Content creators and influencers are perfect conduits to finding new clients thanks to their giant fanbase. Partnering with an influencer might not be the most affordable approach since they demand a fair amount of money to promote your lash business, but could have incredible short-term benefits. Hopefully, there are ways to cut down on costs.

You can give them a free lash extension service and let them advertise your work on their channels. There’s also the cost-per-action method, meaning you’ll pay influencers per reservation instead of a flat-rate fee at the beginning of the partnership.

Create content specifically to introduce your field of work to the audience. You can do this either through informational posts on your social media outlets or blog articles on your website.

Explain to them how eyelash design works, what options they have, and what products and materials are the best. This way, not only you can show them how skilled and well-informed you are in your craft, but also how much you care about customer satisfaction.

Now let’s talk about the more classic techniques you could use to grow your clientele. They may not be the most brilliant techniques especially compared to digital marketing ideas, but they’re still effective nonetheless.

When it comes to digital marketing, people could easily scroll past your photos and emails, but direct mail advertising is a great way to get your samples and materials to the hands of potential customers and show them how good your work is. This works especially well for local businesses and helps increase brand awareness.

Word of mouth is a powerful tool to find prospects, and it’s what lots of businesses rely on. Consumers are much more likely to try out a product or service suggested by friends or family. Use this for your own benefit and entice your clients to refer other people to your lash business by offering them discounts, free services, or other interesting deals.
