4. Best Practices for Nail Promotions in 2025

1. Define your target audience

   • Students? Professionals? Luxury clients?

   • Tailor promotions accordingly.

2. Use digital marketing

   • Promote offers via Instagram, TikTok, and salon apps.

   • Share before/after photos with hashtags to attract engagement.

3. Set clear time limits

   • Avoid open-ended discounts.

The Future of Nail Promotions

Looking ahead, promotions will be increasingly personalized. With AI-driven booking systems, salons can send tailored offers based on each client’s history. For example, if a customer frequently books gel manicures, they may receive a personalized message: “This week only: Upgrade to deluxe gel manicure with free nail art for just $10 more.”

Sustainability is another big factor. Eco-friendly promotions, such as discounts for clients who bring back used nail polish bottles for recycling, are gaining traction.

• Create urgency with deadlines.

1. Track performance

   • Measure redemption rates, new customer sign-ups, and repeat visits.

   • Adjust campaigns based on data.

2. Balance value and profitability

   • Don’t slash prices too deeply.

   • Combine small discounts with add-on perks instead.
