Are you eager to implement green practices in your business, but not sure how to do so other than by recycling the cardboard boxes that your lotions come in? Or have you thought about “going green” but are afraid that it will be costly to your company? Being green doesn’t always have to be expensive – if you have a progressive salon management software program in your tool kit, you can conserve resources while actually saving money!
Do you feel like you are purchasing paper and replacing ink cartridges every time you turn around? Or even worse, does the thought of digging through your filing cabinets to locate a customer’s release waiver exhaust you? Implementing an electronic document process will not only allow you to save a few trees, but will also aid in the efficiency of your operations.
Being green doesn’t always have to be expensive – if you have a progressive salon management software program in your tool kit.
Envision creating an electronic version of your EFT contract that will automatically populate each individual customer’s information and the terms specific to their membership. Picture your customer signing this contract on an electronic signature pad (rather than printing a hard copy for him to sign with a pen). Now, imagine the need to file the executed agreement as being a thing of the past – utilizing electronic documents will feel like someone threw you a life vest when you were drowning in paper.
Is it bothersome to think that the copy of the agreement that you printed for your tanner likely gets tossed in the trash as soon as they walk out the door? Having the ability to email a copy of the signed contract to your customers through your software program will surely relieve that frustration and minimize waste at the same time!
Do you have more than one salon? Having a centralized database where you can access all of your customer accounts regardless of the location you are at means that you can also view their signed contracts from anywhere, as well! This eliminates the need to place a phone call to another location to confirm that the tanner did indeed sign his EFT Cancellation agreement.
Are you also tired of printing sales receipts only to have your salon guest tell you that they don’t want it? Having the means to email your customers a copy of their receipt is a nice offering, and also demonstrates that you are conscious of being eco-friendly, too!
Every single thing that we do has an impact on our environment, whether good or bad. Doing away with the printing of customer contracts and paper receipts may initially seem like a nominal change, but will actually yield a significant effect in helping to preserve our planet.
Wouldn’t you agree that we can all become a little more conscious of how we use our resources? Contribute to green living by going paperless in your salon today!
