Why EVERY Salon Can and Should Learn To Position Themselves In A Way That No Competitor Can Match…

Differentiate or Die! That was taught to me a long time ago. The “traditional” model teaches us (from when we are young to now) that image and status are the dominant drivers of branding, and consequently consumer behavior.  There has to be a way to differentiate your salon. Inner Circle members know this to be [...]

Christchurch Salons Need Our Help!

It’s said that there are 7 degrees of separation in the world.  In New Zealand there are only 2 degrees of separation, and that has never been more evident than in the last week since the devastating Christchurch Earthquake.  Everyone either knows someone, or knows someone who knows someone who has been affected by the [...]

Sharp-eyed Inner Circle Premium member David Wood (two years membership) of Elan Men’s Hair in Brisbane is another who can thank his immersion in ‘our’ way of salon marketing for honing his B.S.

Rich Thinking vs Poverty Thinking

Unless you’ve been living under a rock these past few years, you’ll have heard of The Secret, a cult book/video hit that flooded bookstores a while back. For me, it was all a bit New Age, crystal-swinging, pig-fur-weaving hippie mumbo-jumbo. I’m more of a nuts ‘n bolts kinda guy. Napoleon Hill’s ‘Think and Grow Rich’ [...]

Does Your Customer Service Match This?

Does Your Customer Service Match This?

As the Water Rat said to the Mole in A. A. Milne’s classic Wind in the Willows, there’s nothing, but nothing, quite so much fun as simply messing about in boats. Except when it isn’t.
