For many salons and spas, a strong retailing program is the surest path toward boosting profitability. To challenge SALON TODAY 200 applicants in this category, we asked them to put together a presentation of their top retailing strategies, including outlining their top campaigns, sharing programs for educating clients and explaining any in-salon retail competitions to inspire staff. Extra points were awarded to salons that sent in pictures of their most successful merchandising displays.
