This is the year to make a change. This is the year to increase revenue and client retention. This is the year to offer engaging and customized experiences for your clients every time. And this is the year to install Smarter LifeStyle Network in your salon.
High-tech and high-touch interactivity, Smarter LifeStyle Network shows the latest in fashion, beauty and wellness programming on high-definition screens and tablets placed throughout processing and reception areas.
Owners can toss those tattered consumer and fashion magazines, take a leadership role in the industry and control the conversation with the latest from the salon. Stylists can highlight your talent in the stylebook, to create customized style tips to add to retail product sales. This is the year to tell your clients what you want them to hear. You control the conversation.
Krista Foster, vice president of business development of GenOne Media Group says, “Salons can increase their bottom line while they earn an advertising revenue share each month simply for installing Smarter LifeStyle Network in their salon. “
Owners can learn more about their clients through convenient survey buttons. This can increase positive experiences and increase client loyalty.
"I love being able to help educate people," says Gino Chiodo, co-owner of Izzazu Salon Spa + Serata in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which has installed Smarter LifeStyle Network. "To have a vehicle that can stimulate your mind and interact with you---this is the future."
GenOne Media Group is ready to take Smarter LifeStyle Network to a national audience, since recently joining the Professional Beauty Association, they are thrilled to roll out to salons nationally in 2017.
About GenOne Media Group: GenOne Media Group gives captive viewers across the country an engaging waiting room experience.
