Expectation and the goal after purchasing the new product what you’re looking for:

New revenue source & attract more clients

Suggested solution for :

Type A Salon : Professional soak-off gel

Reason: this type already has royal client base and assume that their clients want high quality, renowned brand, safety and health conscious product.  Type A has a sufficient budget to implement high-end product to satisfy their customer needs.  High quality professional soak-off gel is proven success product segment and renowned brand such as Calgel might be the best fit for this type.

Type B & C Salon : Professional soak-off gel, GEL polish

Reason: this type is known as very busy/corner salons.  Strength of this type is “very fast customer turnover”.  Average nail tech’s customers/day is 7 ~ 9+.  While each revenue per service is rather small, total customers/day and the gloss sale is tolerable.  We would say that mid price range professional soak-off gel or GEL polish might fit for this type too.  Professional soak-off gel may attract new customers and using such professional product in front of your client makes you look more professionally.  Also you can switch regular “care & nail polish” customers with new product of GEL polish, the application steps are almost same as using nail polish.
