January marketing overview: New beginnings and wellness resolutions

January is the month of fresh starts, where many clients focus on self-care and wellness resolutions. It’s an ideal time to promote memberships, loyalty programs, and services that align with their goals.

Make the most of January by tapping into your guests’ motivation to prioritize well-being and start the year on the right foot. Create “New Year, New You” packages offering discounts on annual memberships to help your clients stick to their wellness resolutions.

Don’t forget to utilize your social media channels to educate clients on winter skincare with tutorials featuring your products or treatments.
