In honor of the season I’ve been writing a special Holiday-focused blog series to give you some simple ideas to implement on your salon’s social networks. The most exciting part about off the ideas is that they only require a small amount of customization to make them your own!

Last week we looked at using Pinterest to showcase do-it-yourself Holiday looks for your clients. This week we will put our social networks to good use and make a difference in the your salon's community.

Online For The Holidays: Foursquare Check-In For CharityThis week, team up with your clients to give to those less fortunate by creating a charitable Foursquare campaign.

Each time a client ‘checks in’ on Foursquare at your salon during the holiday season donate a product or service to a local charity in need. This is easy to set-up and even easier to manage if you have control of your Foursquare account. Keep in mind that Foursquare helps you spread the word virally by publishing your client’s check-ins on their social networks. Create a simple poster for your salon highlighting the campaign and be sure to inform your stylists and staff so they can spread the word during each appointment!

Hopefully these ideas have sparked some ideas within your salon and how you can use your social platforms to reward your clients, showcase looks – and help your community!
