A Blogger's Take on September's Issue

The September issue of SALON TODAY focused on the new beauty shopper. Two articles stood out – A Window into the Consumer Mind, by Rosanne Ullman, and 1:1 The New Beauty Shopper, a special advertising section sponsored by P&G Professional. Window is a fabulous article about designing retail environments to influence buying behavior. Both articles have nuggets of information for salon owners to carefully consider.

It began with the Y2K scare that kept us home because we were afraid the planes would not fly and our computers would crash, got worse with 9/11, got complicated with wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and is ending with the worst recession since the Great Depression in tandem with the deepest political divides ever experienced, as evidenced by the current health care debate.

The Recession is Over: Now, It's Going to Get Interesting

You are doing business in the new economy. What does that mean for salon owners this holiday season? Well, it's not business as usual. If your holiday plans are the same as last year, you might not see the growth you need to survive. Yes, there are positive signs to the end of the recession, but the recovery will not be swift or easy.
