Meet your new hair and beauty salon support team
Sue Sage
I love this industry; it’s so creative, and you get to meet these great people all the time. Giving customers a kind of sanctity in their lives is what kept me drawn to this industry. But if you’ve run out of energy, or if things could be better, it’s easy to lose the passion.
I established Planet Skin in Paraparaumu as a “one stop shop” for busy people so that they could get all their beauty services under one roof. We had a hair salon, tanning, diet clinic, beauty salon, appearance medicine etc. I knew I wanted to grow the business, and you talk to any business coach – they all say you have to be computerized. You just don’t have the time to get all the information you need manually.
In Paraparaumu we had a lot of competition, and to keep ahead of the game, I knew I had to work smart. The main reason I wanted to computerize was not so much controlling costs (although that has been invaluable), but I wanted to be able to market to my database.
The first year I put Beautyware into the salon I increased my turnover by $96,000 – that’s nearly $2,000 a week! I know I couldn’t have done this manually. The second year turnover increased a whopping $221,000! We ended up with a database of over 7,000 names. So I needed to be able to cost-effectively market to my “active” as well as “in-active” customers.
Ian and I have lots of tools, experience, passion…We don’t know it all by any means, but if we can help you not fall in the “holes” that we did, and save you from “re-inventing” the wheel…we will certainly try.
We really believe your success is our success!
Ian Sage
My merchandising and computer background means I can really help you run your business more cost effectively, smoothly, and give you some incredible results.
Seeing you reach your potential for your business is why I do what I do. We know you’re busy, and you don’t have much time to investigate how to solve some issues, or even find out what they are. We can do all that. It’s what we do best.
With my business focus, and passion for seeing you do well, and Sue’s industry knowledge and empathy, means we’re a wicked combination! And we’re in it for the long haul - we won’t just deliver and run - we’ll be with you every step of the way. This isn’t a gamble for you - it’s an investment.
We’ve worked really hard to make it affordable too. I know it’s hard to trust someone with your business - you’ve worked so hard to get where you are. But we’ve been there so Sue and I know really know how to help. Just make that first step and contact us. We’ll show you how easy it can be. You’ve got nothing to loose and everything to gain.
