I am happy with the thought that you like the information meant for you in my articles.
I am sure that you must be working really hard.
Let me give you one more idea.
What about checking for demographics? Friends what do you think is it a "Good idea"? I am suggesting this as it is essential to be aware of who our target group is and even where they reside.
Your business depends on them.
How to do that? There is a link at the bottom of this article for the Census Bureau.
You can obtain valuable information from doing some brief reviews of your target area.
The most exciting thing is that they have lots of information and it is absolutely free.
You can say it is a kind of market research.
There are many ways to carry out market research.
You can even check out what your location can provide for and whether the people can pay for your services adequately.
You can do one more thing; you can visit the salons and spas in your target neighborhood and check out the prices paid by customers for the individual services.
I think this would help a lot.
Check out the salons service menu if they have one and it is also advisable for you to keep a menu if you plan to start one.
I strongly feel that carrying out market research on salons in your location will give you a clear graph.
It's not only checking about charges but if you go around and check different salons then you can benefit in a number of ways.
You can check out the decoration, design, retail, staffs, equipments, flooring and many more.
So walk in for getting services or approach directly and just feel free to talk to the owner.
It's not necessary for you to write down everything while you're there.
Watch carefully at their exhibits, visual pictures always remain in you mind.
How is the ambience? Judge it and make a picture in your mind what you don't want in your setting, after you leave make notes.
It is important as you will visit a number of them so you will confuse one with another.
You must have heard about surveys so why not try one now? If you have customers, mail them a questionnaire.
Get to know their income, education level, what services they would obtain, and how much they would give for them.

Hey, my best wishes are with you.
Go to it.
