In every industry, the concept of a 'low season' or 'slow sales month' can vary greatly. It depends on factors like geographical location, target market, and the specific products or services offered. However, certain trends have been observed over time.
Generally, the beauty industry sees a surge during holiday seasons and special occasions. For example, sales often peak from December to February due to Christmas, year-end celebrations, Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day, especially for beauty services and products meant for gifting.
Conversely, March are often considered 'low seasons.' After the spending spree, clients may tighten their budgets or may have already received all the treatments they needed, leading to a dip in sales.
Nevertheless, businesses can turn these 'low seasons' into opportunities. They can engage customers in new ways and improve their services.
Here are some productive activities for the off-peak period.
