The Client Issue
Emily Milton, Assistant Editor
Hello, and welcome to an exciting look into the March issue of Barber Magazine. Next issue, we are keeping it all things ‘client’, where we will be diving into many of the aspects needed to attract, maintain and interact with your clients, as well as a number of other helpful tips and insights.
As usual, we will have our Essential Five feature, which will be looking at the best ways to attract people into your barbershop and how to turn those one off walk-ins into regular repeat business. This might be through visual marketing in your shop window or social marketing where our regular contributor Chris Foster will be sharing his expert advice.
Our recurrent Barbers Around the World feature will be taking you to a distant land to check in on what our fellow overseas barber is doing, whilst the Lookbook feature will be bringing you the hottest looks. Plus, would you like to get involved in the magazine and seize the opportunity get featured in next month’s Lookbook? Use the hashtag #barbermaglookbook for a chance to be included and to show off your best work! Our regular Rising Star feature will be looking at an up-and-coming barber and what they have done to grow and be noticed within the industry; there will always be something inspirational to take away from this!
Are you struggling to market your brand the way you would like, or not getting the reach on social media your business deserves? Or, are you looking at starting a business and need a strong profile? Chris Foster’s reputation is well founded and his expertise and experience in social interactivity and marketing has helped many build the profile of their dreams, guiding them to great success. It can be hard to know how to keep people talking about you and your brand but the positive effect this can have on increasing both revenue and client reach is well worth the effort. So, if you are looking to win big, look no further!
So, join us next month where we will be marching into spring with an exciting, information packed March edition. We look forward to you joining us then!
