Why print works for beauty, salons & spas
Beauty is local, visual and gift-driven, and print, especially local magazines and lifestyle sections, delivers the high-fidelity imagery that sells a look and the shelf life that keeps a salon in mind. The audience is reachable in the lifestyle and community pages of titles they already read, and seasonal and gifting moments, weddings, holidays, proms, lend themselves to timed bursts. A beautiful, keepable ad with an offer drives the bookings local beauty businesses depend on.
