Your hair salon is now really closed...
While many hairdressers got through the previous lockdown by letting customers pick up home dye kits and hair care products at the salon, that is no longer an option. The stricter lockdown means that non-essential shops and salons must remain completely closed.
...but you are open digitally!
Still, there is a solution. If customers are not allowed to come to you, why not go to your customers? Delivery is allowed. Of course, you can quickly set up an online shop, but this takes time, money, and energy for a temporary emergency measure and a limited number of customers. There is another way: with these tips, you can hopefully still generate some income during the lockdown.
Inform your customers
Call, WhatsApp, or email your customers to let them know they can come to you for hair care products and advice. Make it as easy as possible for them to order the products (if you don't have an online shop). For example, send a price list.
Make it clear how you will get the products to your customer and what the shipping costs are. You can deliver the order yourself, or use PostNL. With a Tikkie, you will have the money in your account immediately and can deliver the products with peace of mind.
Deliver the products yourself
Get in your car, on your bike, or take the walking route and deliver the products to your customer's front door. Bring a face mask, in case you do have to go inside (for example, in an apartment building or shared entrance). This way, you can get some fresh air, which is good for your health, and stay in touch with your customers. Do make sure to clearly agree beforehand when you plan to stop by. Although the Netherlands is in a lockdown, there is a chance you will be met with a closed door...
Or have PostNL deliver the package
Of course, you can also drop off the orders at a PostNL point. The benefit for you: you get rid of the packages in one go. Do keep in mind that due to the busy season, the package may not be delivered the next day.
