The idea of maximizing your time is knowing every day of the week what's the maximum number of bookings based mostly on the staff you have got and the hours of operation. Like an airline that may offer, onthe day of a flight, unsold seats at a lower rate as the airplane would take off either with those seats filled or empty, you can take this idea to boost your daily money and fill your empty slots with paying salon clients. If you have operational days with empty chairs, then this is a hint that your rebooking techniques have to be improved.
The implementation of this strategy prescribes that you map out in an exceedingly controlled way, the total number of slots available in twenty four hours for yourself, all of your stylists and the slots for the additional services you offer (such as manicures, makeovers, etc).
Take a median month record of appointments and make a report on the total bookings on each day to appraise the patterns. Compare with the same month in the previous year. Compare with the following month. Compare this with a top season month, or a low season month. You get the picture? This requires some research. With this, you can review your present month and as the appointments start filling up the calendar, spot the openings and how it's possible for you to fill those slots compared to the available resources you have.
When a client books an appointment, ask if they would like to order a friend/husband/child along at the same time and receive a bonus or special present. That implies every time a client books for an appointment, you are making an opportunity to double that money by just asking one easy question.
If only 1 out of 10 take you up on this offer, that may be a 10% success rate and depending on the quantity of appointments that day, it might translate into a significant increase in money.
This is the strategic level of the simple way to maximize your earnings by first understanding the trends and patterns of your business. There are lots of paths to leverage off this valuable information and implement express promotional activities. But first, understand the patterns of your business based on factual information and not just on conjecture.
