Many things have changed since the corona virus outbreak. It will take few months for business like salon and Makeup Artist services to get back to normal.

This is not the end, but beginning of new marketing efforts. We need to find smart ways to promote and improve presence online.

We have figured out 6 ways, how you can improve and strengthen your makeup artist business during COVID-19 pandemic and reach out to bigger audience than ever before.

1. Having a Website

With so many countries in lock down ,online usage has increased by 25-30%, and the way we search online also has changed.

This is the best time when one could have their own professional website. It not only helps you in listing all your services, portfolio and testimonials but also increases your reach to target audience.

Users trust a business more when they have their own professional website. Search Queries like “Safe & sanitized salon near me”, “Makeup artists which use hygiene measures near me” etc are going to be trending.

It is necessary that you list out the way you are going to operate and reopen your service. What are the Safety and hygiene measures you would be using.

In this times you will have to maintain social distances and would try to avoid overcrowding at your salon or studio. Having a website can help you in accepting appointments and send your customers regular updates on their email or phone about your schedule and timings.

2. Focus on SEO and Website Design

Having just a website never works unless it is being visited by your target audience. Gone are the days of old website design and slow loading web pages made on old themes.

You must be having a number of competitors who have a faster and more beautiful website (There are always those kind of competitors, and always will be!) This competition is only gonna build up with every passing year. But one thing that separates you from your competition is your efforts.

Having a good SEO helps you in getting lots of traffic organically from search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo etc. It helps in ranking your website for particular keywords that you have focused on. Fast and professionally made website decreases bounce rate and helps in converting the visitor into your client.

Once you start ranking even in first 10 position for your focused keyword, you will start getting queries automatically from users who are searching for those keywords, without a penny to spend on your marketing efforts.

3. Audit your Social Media Platforms:

You might be having a happening social life, but that needs to be kept away from the business. So all those party snaps should stay limited to your personal page. When you want your account to represent you and your work-you want it to be the best. No less than that.

If your intended purpose is to gain clients and have a place to reference your work, your page should be just that.

If people want to see makeup posts, give them makeup posts! That’s the first reason that they’re following you. 

Although you should keep your page strictly about makeup, there is no harm in having some fun! You can have some snippets about your office fun or some event you attended related to makeup or any relatable beauty quote. 

These are just a few tips on how to use social media in the best way possible for your career! Remember to post quality photos, even if you just have your iPhone or a basic android. 

You can always find good lighting and angles to make it as flattering as possible. Don’t be afraid to show your personality and have fun!
