MenuHow can I advertise salon services specifically to women above 40?
What are some tactics that can be used to reach this audience best?
Answers
I see many great ideas here and strongly agree Facebook is a great avenue.
Outside of all the "Online" answers I'd also suggest forming partnerships with other businesses in your local market that work with a similar audience. Do an open-house together, referral agreement or other simple partnership type of arrangements. I'd also suggest working with local realtors, PTA Moms and get active in the community events. These all helped me just as much locally as online advertising (if not more). Good Luck!
Your best bet would be to target those people on Facebook, and on Plenty Of Fish, these sites allow you to target their users on a demographics level.
Once you have created ads, make sure your landing page speaks to their pain points, and solves their problem. They will start paying attention to what you're saying, and after some time, you can sell them your services.
LinkedIn is the best bet as you can filter the exact target audience based on your locations and other parameters.
Once you have the list ready, you can approach via various modern marketing techniques.
Connect if you need detailed strategy.
I would highly recommend internet marketing as the most effective way to market your boutique hair salon. With internet marketing, you can target individuals within your demographic criteria and geographic location at an affordable cost. This can be done with an enhanced SEO strategy or content marketing. Write articles that describe your salon and market that through diverse platforms across the web, specifically in your geographic location with the "women above 40" slotted in (300-800 words).
I can provide many recommendations based on my experience with affordable services that exist and tips that can help benefit your salon. Many companies or individuals might recommend hiring a top marketing firm to help drive consumers to your salon, but I discourage this. You can easily do this yourself! Through my experiences working with small budgets, I have been effective in driving internet consumers to my sites from 0 users to upwards of 10,000 unique live users in just under 6 months. I would love to help you do the same!
Facebook is certainly a good option for this. But what kind of women above 40 are you looking to target? Are they stay-at-home moms? Professional women? Affluent? Savings-centric? This will make some difference in how you'll want to target both your advertising and your messaging.
I'm guessing that you are a local salon rather than a national network (but correct me if I'm wrong). In addition to Facebook, it's worth looking into your metro area's popular digital content -- newsletters, local blogs that are well-read among that demographic, etc.
I'm happy to take a call about this if you're interested in hearing more about how to create a blend of paid and earned media.

I am curious as to what specific problem you are solving for women over 40? What other characteristics do these women have? Your marketing tactics will depend on your strategy and a key step in developing the strategy is to have a clear audience profile(s). Knowing your audience will help you to understand the best place to reach them - it may be online, offline or a combination of methods. If your salon is local, partnering with complimentary businesses who serve your market is one way to reach your audience. This could be a joint offer, event or advertising.
It depends on what your goals are. There is no "one stop solution" for any type of marketing and, frankly, anyone who offers advice like that has no idea what they are speaking about and will hemorrhage money and profit out of your pocket.
Mature women will not pay hundreds of dollars to walk out of your salon looking like that.’ Mature women will only consider your services if its promotional strategies give them the hope of grooming themselves like Elle Macpherson and aging gracefully. What women want to hear and see is that it is possible to look ravishing even after bearing three children and hitting 52.

Is it ok from a brand perspective to have different color schemes for your logo for different purposes?
Building a brand takes more than a logo. With that said, consistency is key for obtaining a competitive advantage that speaks to your market for longer. I would recommend against using different styles and colors for various purposes and instead maybe avoid using in lieu of the logo use maybe instead borders or patterns that use your logo's or brand colors. The idea of a logo is to engrave a mission or product into potential customers when they simply see the brand or logo... Once a logo is pushed and promoted you can strengthen that image by enforcing the brands colors through different materials or media :)HV

How do you get your first customers for a consulting business?
Back when I started LinkedIn wasn't as huge as it is now. I wish it was. I didn't have a large network and those networking sessions NEVER brought me any clients. I used to go to all sorts of them hoping to get clients. There were a couple of nibbles here and there, but never anything serious. The only thing that helped was reaching out DIRECTLY to people in my target market. That meant cold calls and cold emails. I'd sell myself while thinking about their needs. Once I got a few bites I'd build good rapport by keeping in touch, asking questions, repeating back what they were saying so that they knew I was on the same page and kept my promises. If I said I'd call them back next Tuesday at 2:15 I'd do so. Eventually I built trust with them without having a network, or an insane amount of experience. Oh and the most important thing about consulting is to LISTEN. When those first clients notice that you're truly listening and you're not selling the cookie cutter solutions everyone else is trying to sell them that's when you got them hooked. You start to understand their problems, fears, and see through their eyes and not just yours. A network will help, but in the beginning just good 'ol salesmanship will get the ball rolling.JC

How was SnapChat able to grow so quickly?
I'm answering your question assuming that you hope to be able to replicate it's own success in your own mobile app. There are a couple of factors responsible for it's growth that are instructive to anyone building a mobile app. "Leveraging the intimacy and privacy of the mobile phone." We now have an *intimate* relationship with our phone like no other device in the history of technology. Every internet company that started before around 2010 has built their core interactions around "the old web" one which was accessed primarily via a browser on a computer. Companies that start with a clean slate, should be building their interactions around how to do whatever the app is supposed to do while leveraging what is unique to people's relationship to their mobile devices. Photo-sharing has become a core part of the way we communicate now. Snapchat built something that provided an experience that leveraged the feeling of privacy and intimacy that is unique to mobile. "Provided an escape from the "maturity" of other online services." Too many parents, aunts, uncles and other "old people" have encroached into the social networks of teens and young people. As a result, they've had a desire to find places to express themselves in places inaccessible by older generations. An important distinction is that it's not just parents and relatives that young people are trying to avoid, but also employers & colleges who are increasingly using "mature" social networks to review applicants. "Leveraged PR even bad PR" The fact that the app got so much press about it being used to sext was perfect PR for the company, as it essentially reinforced the brand experience that it has today. Essentially, "if it's safe enough to send a sext, it's safe for any kind of communication I want to have." And although the safety and security of Snapchat is actually not as advertised, it still enjoys the reputation of having less impact than any primarily web-based service. Building a successful mobile application is one of the hardest challenges to face designers, programmers and entrepreneurs in the history of writing software. Happy to talk to you if you're considering building a mobile app, about what I've learned about the "table stakes" for success.TW

How does my startup hire an affordable marketing expert?
I don't even know how to answer this. Do you know what the difference between McDonalds and the local burger joint that is filing for bankruptcy is? It's marketing. McDonalds is worth billions of dollars not because of the quality of their food, but because of their marketing. Marketing is not an expense. A janitor is an expense. Your computer is an expense. Marketing is an INVESTMENT. Would you shop around for the cheapest heart surgeon? Of course not. Because you would likely end up dead. Why, then, do you shop around for a marketing expert? Are you ok with your company going bankrupt? Is that worth the small savings to you? No. Of course not. Hire someone who is good at marketing. Hire someone who knows what they are doing. Buy yourself a Lamborghini with your profit the first quarter. Get a beach house in hawaii. Grab a yacht. Or, try to find your business the cheapest heart surgeon you can and then spend the next five years wondering why such a solid business idea failed in the first 6 months. I'm passionate about this exact topic because all those statistics you read about "70% of businesses failing in two years" are solely because of horrible marketing.AM

How to promote a paid iOS app to increase downloads ?
Your best bet to get traction quickly in USA is to advertise on mobile ad networks. You may need to advertise on CPM/CPC basis instead of CPI if you have a paid app so make sure you understand your user lifetime value and watch conversion rates closely so you don't overspend. That said, depending on what your niche/vertical is, there are many other ways to market non-gaming apps.SR
