SEARCHThese beauty brands are instituting additional income opportunities for professionals outside of the salon.
Ouidad and Bio Ionic have teamed up to launch a comprehensive Professional Affiliate Program to showcase their dedicated support to the hairstylist community. Deepening their response to the COVID-19 crisis, both brands are seeking ways to provide industry professionals and small businesses with a secondary income without having to build a website, stock excess inventory, and ship out daily orders.
“There is no limit on how much stylists can earn and program benefits include driving retail sales even when you’re not in the salon, the ability to capture lost commissions due to changes in client behaviors due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, instant e-commerce abilities and no retail disruption due to supplier out-of-stocks item,” states Joel Calfee, Director of Sales at Beauty By Imagination, parent company of Bio Ionic and Ouidad.
As a registered Professional Affiliate, stylists will be provided with a personalized link to share and promote with family, friends and clients. With every purchase made using the link, stylists will earn up to 25% commission on affiliate link retail sales.
“Having affiliate offers has allowed me to 100% digitize my business and cater to my clients beyond the chair,” says Michelle Pritchard (@michelepritchardhair, @theempoweredstylist). “I’m also now able to make commissions that change my livelihood and provide extra income that’s impactful.”
