Following its outstanding success in July of last year, Phorest Salon Software’s #30days2Grow challenge is back and ready to help more salon owners grow their businesses! The 2018 challenge will commence on Sunday, April 1, 2018.
#30Days2Grow is an initiative which aims to help salons grow their businesses and their average bills through a series of daily challenges and tasks that participants carry out over the course of the month.
Participating salons will receive free daily tips and easy to execute challenges, completion of which will help the salons take positive steps towards growing their businesses and getting their clients in more and spending more.
Here is what some of last year's participants had to say:
“I would highly recommend this to anyone, who like myself, is a new business owner. I have learned so much in my business.”
“I don't know if it's 100% coincidence or not, but I had my highest month ever in July, when I did 30Days2Grow! I think a big part of my success was daily reminders to put time and effort into growing my business, rather than getting complacent.”
“I loved doing the challenges! It made me feel a bit more in control of my business with the great ideas.”
“I want to say BIG THANKS to all involved in 30 DAYS TO GROW....it has made me see things in a different light and also address issues I have had in my salon.”
Challenge yourself and join thousands of other salons to kick off the summer with success! Registration and participation is free.
*Participation in #30Days2Grow is open to everyone! You don’t have to be a client of Phorest or use Phorest Salon Software to participate.
