Hit us up in the Salon Business by the Keeley's FaceBook Group with any questions that you have on this and we'll do our best to answer you.

Salon Retail is an important part of your salon business - it's the second largest income stream for most salons and is a business within your business.

This is an area that with energy and focus more profit can be made in an instant.

In this weeks project its time to to a Retail SWOT:

Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats

Let's start at the start - ask yourself these questions in regard to your retail offerings;

• Are you covering brands or lines that cover Fashion, Fun and Science?
• Are you actually profitable on your current retail lines?

it's the second biggest expense to your salon behind your employment costs. So why do we all ignore it and put it in the 'too hard basket'?

Perhaps it seems too daunting to really take a grip or perhaps it would be 'too serious an issue' to place a system around your stock spend?

Before you scroll away and distract yourself with a more fun topic let's take a quick peek at these figures... these are our past professional stock spend figures.

In this video Belinda Keeley tells her story of cracking down on her salon's stock spend and what that system means to the profitability of her salons... long story short her salon stock control systems took a $600k turnover salon from a spend of $108K per year to a $1.8m salon spending only $50k per year... and thats a colour specialist salon!
