200 + views within 8 hours after launch website for a Chinese Hair Supplier

Website for a Chinese Hair Supplier finished

Business is connecting people, and this is not different for the Hair business. Thanks to the internet, it is easier to get connected to leads and clients abroad. Not only easier but also cheaper. Yesterday I finished the launch of a website for a fast-growing Chinese Hair Supplier. It was a great project to work on. Not only with the design and launch of the website. Also with the growth of visitors to this website for a Chinese Hair Supplier.

The design of the Website for a Chinese Hair Supplier

The company knew what they wanted and that helps a lot when you design a website. Sometimes people only want a website and they need help to define what kind of site. This time was different. The principal, a Hair Supplier had some clear ideas about what they needed. They wanted to have a website they could scale up following the growth of the business. We shared quite a few WhatsApp messages. Based upon the first ideas and suggestions from the principal I first prepared a mock-up. A template of the pages of the website, with the colours and fonts to use.

Launch your own hair store with the all in one hair business package, complete with hair samples

Hosting company for DomainName and hosting

Once we had a common understanding about the needs and looks of the website, we agreed to select Bluehost for the hosting. A safe location for the website outside China ensures stable operations. This hosting company has a 24 / 7 support and me and my clients hardly suffer down time.

Combination shop and blog

The website is responsive. This means regardless the device the visitors are using like, phone or desktop they will enjoy the content without any limitation. Thanks to a combination of a web shop module and a blog module, visitors can for example zoom in on the products. But the Chinese company also wants to publish blogs to share their expertise about hair and the hair business.

Because the Chinese hair supplier preferred tailormade offers for their hair clients, it was not desirable to have a full fledge web shop. Just an outlet to show the products.

It was fun to work on this website, even with the time difference. I woke up early to be able to enjoy the input and suggestions of the principal about the Chinese Hair Supplier Website. I myself am in The Netherlands and thus my day starts short before midday for my Chinese Client.

200 Pageviews on the afternoon after the launch

Now we launched the website we need to grow the number of visitors. These visitors can contact the sales team using phone, WhatsApp or a contact form.

To get the first traffic I wrote a blogpost about wholesale hair in Kenya. This was my gift for the client because of the launch and all pages already attracted nearly 100-page views. Not bad for the first day after the launch. Especially if you realize we only measured during 8 hours. We installed Google Analytics after the launch.

What are the start up cost for hair extension business

What are the start up cost for hair extension business

Home 9 Tag: website ( Page 2 )
The start up cost for a hair extension business are the sum of all the things you need to buy, or services from third parties like a lawyer. Experience tells if you have a limited budget, people do not know how to invest spend their money. It is important to make a list of the start up cost and a plan how to finance these expenses. You can find a nice solution to pay for the start up cost at the end of this post.

What are the start up cost for hair extension business?

The first question is to understand what the start up cost for a hair extensions business consist of. Not all expenses are start up cost. To know what the start up cost for hair extension business are is very relevant. Because:

– You can not pay the start up cost for your hair store from the revenue you make from the sales

– Most start up cost are incidental, you will only pay once

– For fiscal purposes you might have to divide these expenses over the following years of operations. This will reduce your tax burden in years you make revenue by sales.

The cash flow template of the All-in-One Business Package has a complete overview of kind of expenses your will face when you start your hair business. Expenses to think of:

– Setup cost website/shop

– Legal advice incorporation

– Advertising before you launched your business

– Costs incurred when in search for a location

– All investments in fixed furniture you can not depreciate over time (one off)

– Design of Packaging

– Expenses of buying and testing hair

– Travel expenses for your search for the finest hair

– Market survey customers/ competition

What else you need to think of apart from the start up cost?

You need to organize the funding of your business in times you do not generate enough cash flow (income). To start you need to buy inventory (stock of hair), pay for the start up costs and purchase a computer, communication means (smartphone like iphone 11) furniture and office supplies.

You will only start receiving money if you sell hair extensions. This means you need to have or a loan, or savings or another job to pay for the expenses and being operational during the time you did not sell hair.

This means you need to use a cashflow estimation. This will tell you how long you can survive, or pay for the start up cost plus other expenses measured against the income you will receive from your sales.

List all the items you expect to pay for the next 12 months and estimate in what month you have to pay. Add the possible sales revenue for each month and the variance between the outgoing expenses and incoming revenue will tell you if you can survive long enough to get your business from the ground.

Solution if you lack the funds to start your business

If you do not have the capital to finance the start up cost for your hair extension business, consider this.

Organize hair extensions parties, invite friends and friends of friends to come and talk hair. This will not only help you to understand your market and client needs more better, it will also give you your first sales. These sales will help you to pay for your start up costs, how about that?

Getting more visitors to your hair store, just act like the most popular girl of College

Getting more visitors to your hair store, just act like the most popular girl of College

Getting more visitors to your hair store is not that difficult and all you need is to be yourself.

Let’s think back of the good old days when you were still at College, who was the most popular girl? The one who knew everybody (and everybody knew her) and who always had something to say. And because everybody knew her, it was easy to find her. And because everybody liked what she talked about, people talked about her.

That’s simple and make sense, right?

This simple rule is also the one Google, Bing and other search engines use to determine what website page they should bring under your attention. For example when you look for “The best Hair salon of Tennessee”. Who knows about this webpage and what is this webpage telling us that is interesting to know.

Make this work on Google

Getting more visitors to your hair store only requires you to translate this logic into a strategy. A strategy for designing, writing and publishing your website. Or better the website pages.

Let’s take a deep dive into this. Do not worry, I will not get technical with you. But our most popular girl of College had many contacts, people who knew her, or she knew. These are the relations, or in search engines language, backlinks. The more links between your page and the rest of the internet world, the higher Google will rank you. All because you are more popular. And what is liked by many, will be interesting for a lot of other people.

To make this work in your effort of getting more visitors to your hair store you need to reach out. Write a blog post about another product or event. Inform this company about your post and big chance they will mention you too, or add your blog post on their corporate web. The good thing is you are not only talking about your bundle deals. This could be rather boring for your website visitors. But you give high quality information to your audience. They will like that and come back for more.

So, add in your blog post third parties and inform them. Simple using social media, or if you know them share your blog post by email. Ask them for their comments and if they like it, if they are willing to add a link to your blog post on their website. Be sure the post is positive and not biased. Honesty and politeness, brings you higher in the Google rankings.

Would You Like to Make $ 30.000/month for Only $ 29/month?

To know a lot of people is one, but to be popular you need to talk a lot. But not only talking. Share interesting stuff, be original and entertaining.

Tell the world about what they should know:
The latest hair trends,
maintenance instructions,
background stories how you get the hair and
other stuff your ideal client is looking for.

Remember, only talking about your bundle deals, will not help getting more visitors to your hair store. Communicate about everything your ideal client has interest in. Your ideal client are all those persons in the market who might be interested in the hair and services you offer.

Mix the information you share, be informative, share a quote from a famous beauty person or celebrity. Very important is to be original. Do not copy paste a message you found somewhere else on the internet. Better to add value, something new, for your audience.

The combination of these two methods will help you over time to rank higher on Google. Do not expect miracles overnight, unless you hit the jackpot with very original content. Use a calendar to plan your postings and special webpages. Develop a routine to write and publish your content. Communicate with your audience, and take note of their needs, and struggles. This will give you inspiration to write a next article or special webpage.

The design of your webstore should take into account the requirements of the search engines. a shopify hair webshop helps you to rank high. Try your Shopify Website 14 days for free!

All this effort will help you getting more visitors to your hair store. The growth of the number of visitors, combined with the right hair and offers will increase your sales.

See how easy it is to be different in Beauty and Hair Care

The beauty and hair care market is a market dominated by cultural factors. Too long marketers’ have under estimated these cultural factors in the beauty and hair care industry. Not in the least because it’s not easy if you are not connected to multi-cultural communities. This is the point where you can benefit from, because if you have a specific ethnic background, you understand your own cultural background, habits and emotions the best.

Go Green, Harriet (OwnitHair) an entrepreneur with a mission!

Go Green, Harriet (OwnitHair) an entrepreneur with a mission!

It’s not every week I meet a person that makes me rethink if I am doing the right thing. But I started to doubt after I received an message from Harriet last week. She is the ambitious entrepreneur behind OwnitHair.

Harriet is ready for the next step and was looking for ways to let her hair store keep in pace with the growth of her clients. OwnitHair is different from most other online hairstores.

OwnitHair

The product offering, for example, is not limited to hair extensions. OwnitHair offers also eye lashes and hair and beauty products. For example a wide range of Marrocan Argan Oil. The combination of hair extensions with other beauty products, was the right decision as the sales figures showed.

Harriet asked me to help her to re-design the current website and I look forward to this awesome project. We will start with the ideal client, the people OwnitHair wants to solve all hair and beauty problems for. The usage and likes of the current website helps us to come with re-design a website that will support the further growth.

It is inspiring to work with a women full of passion for her hair and clients. Harriet can no wait to take her business to the next level.

OwnitHair goes for Low Carbon Footprint

As a proof Harriet is thinking one step ahead, she had chosen GreenGeeks as hosting provider. An Environmentally Responsible Web Hosting Provider. Or in plain English. This hosting provider, next to awesome services like webhosting, dedicated servers and a website builder, has one of the lowest Carbon footprints of the business. Not important? Last week I learned “By 2020, the Web Hosting industry will surpass the Airline industry in Environmental Pollution!” A very good reason to go green for your hosting company. Like Harriet did with OwnitHair.

Now the hosting is a good green fingers, we can focus on the hair and beauty business of OwnitHair. Keep an eye on the site, because while we work on the website and service offering, the business must go on!
