5. Targeting Decacorns
We've discussed "unicorns" before—those influencers with over 30,000 followers who match your target audience and have less-than-perfect eyebrows. Now, let's discuss "Decacorns" in the context of offline marketing. So, who are these Decacorns in the brow business? They are owners of salons and beauty service providers who offer complementary services but aren't your competitors. Think of nail technicians, hairdressers, or eyelash extension artists.
Why target Decacorns?
Well, they're like gold mines for offline marketing. These professionals interact with potential clients for your Powder Brows, Hairstrokes, or microblading services daily. And trust me, people ask them, "Wow, your eyebrows look amazing! Who did them?"
So, if you're new to the Powder Brows, Hairstrokes, or microblading scene and want to break into the local market or expand your customer base through offline marketing, reach out to these Decacorns. Offer them free Powder Brows, Hairstrokes, microblading procedures, and free retouches. Doing so lets you tap into a stream of potential clients who already trust Decacorn's opinion.
Using Your Brow Brand to Make Affiliate Offers More Accessible
Many artists point out that based on the region, customer age, or cultural background, offering gift cards or promoting a "kick-back" system can sometimes feel too intrusive or pushy. This is where having a dedicated "Brow Brand" can come in handy. If you've already established a brand for your brow services—let's call it "X Brows," as we've discussed in previous articles—you can use that brand as a third-party entity to introduce affiliate offers.
Instead of saying, "I have a special offer you might be interested in," you can frame it as, "By the way, X Brows has a current campaign that many find valuable. Here's the deal..." Doing this makes the offer less direct and more like information about an opportunity. For more information on setting up such brands, refer to our articles about using systems like brandsnap.ai.
Building an Effective Online Strategy
If most clients search online for a brow artist, it's crucial to know that many start with Google. Yet, many artists overlook three things that could boost their online strategy.
