“That’s be great if I had a mother, Mine died in 1986, do your research!”
This can be a scary thought for a business, the last thing you want to do is upset your customers… so when it comes to having a father or Mother’s Day promotion we believe the key is dumping the personalisation rule and making it clear that it’s a generic text. It would seem unreasonable to complain if 1000 other people receive the offer, however if you write “Dear Alvy, Treat your father…” and I don’t have one. Well I might be a little peeved. Alternatively something along the lines of “Deals for Daddy’s…” This could be because you yourself are a dad, you know a dad, or you have a dad!
So with Father’s Day in mind and the feelings of the general public we’ve designed a few sms templates that you can tweak to your heart’s content. Because salons are often suspect to ignoring their male clientele…so make sure all the men in the picture get some pampering this June!
