Collaborate with your clients

It’s unlikely that you’ll be attending the festival with your clients, so when they’re visiting your salon before the event for their desired hair transformation, educate them on Instagram’s new collaborator feature so that you can showcase all those inevitably gorgeous pictures on your grid too! www.simplyhair.co.uk

When tagging, your client can add you to their post as a “collaborator”. This will give your page a direct link on their post, so you’ll be front and centre for all your clients hair admirers. It’s something your client can do for free to support your business by increasing its exposure, and they’re usually keen to do so. To entice more clients to collaborate with your salon on Instagram, you could even offer an incentive, for example, if the client adds you as a collaborator they receive an Olaplex treatment on their next treatment for free.
