Resolution number one: Make Marketing a Business Priority

Marketing is vital if you want to attract new clients, increase salon profitability, and capitalize on business opportunities. It makes business sense to give marketing the importance it deserves. Take an honest assessment of your salon’s 2014 marketing endeavors. Was there an investment of time, energy or money?
