Relationships sell more
You already know word of mouth is one of the most successful marketing tools your brand can have to sell more hair extensions. Most people listen better to their friends or relatives for advice than to a sales person. And why not? Your friend has an interest to keep the relation good, while the salesperson only wants to get your money!
The keyword is ‘relationship’. You can not sell your hair only to your friends. You need to build a relationship with more people all your potential clients. Your ideal clients.

Your Ideal Client: Joan wants to buy from you
Understand the needs of your ideal client
No need, to discuss the hair extensions or your other services every time you see your ideal client. Even your blog postings should not only talk hair, but also mention the other things in life. Understand who your ideal client is and what they deal with during the day. Publish a post about these things too. Do not start to blog about everything that happens. Your focus should be on the hair. Also publish every now and then about working mums or how to install an app.
Sell more hair extensions
A strong relationship between you and your ideal client will also work when the competition approaches them. Your ideal clients will be less interested to buy hair from others. A lower price for the hair, will not make them change brand anymore. They will prefer to keep on buying from you, because you are not selling hair! You are their friend and you will sell more hair extensions!
