Marketing a barbershop in social media world

October 26, 2012 / Staff

Like any small business, a barbershop’s success depends on many factors. Talent and hard work rank at the top, along with the ability to work well with customers. If you own a barbershop, you’re good at what you do and you love your work, you’ll probably do just fine.

Still, promoting your business is still important, and in today’s social media world you should be taking advantage of sites like Facebook and Twitter for promotional purposes. The key is letting your customer base be your marketing tool, and these social media sites make that possible. Of course you should consult with an expert in this area or do some research, but building out your “Likes” on a Facebook page for your barbershop for example can be a huge assets for your business.

Of course, old school tactics still work as well and can’t be ignored. Simple things like glossy brochures with full color printing can help attract new customers, and you can shop around online for the best prices like searching for print brochures at other stores on the web.

The key is finding the right balance for your business. So don’t just focus on the work. Put the time in to promote your business as well.

BarberShopBlog Talks To Greg Jennings About “Smelf-Confidence” And, Um, Balls

October 23, 2012 / Paul Eide

You’ve caught passes from obviously Aaron Rodgers and earlier in your career Brett Favre- who throws the ball harder?

I always have to tip my hat to Aaron simply because he is younger; I was with Brett in his latter stages. He has stories about guys with broken fingers on his resume, but when I was here definitely Aaron.

Who throws the more catchable ball? And what makes a ball more catchable?

They both throw the most catchable balls. And that said, NO Homo. But they both have balls that…I don’t even like to talk about it. They both throw a really good uh… (laughing) balls.

What’s the deal with Old Spice and how did you guys team up?

Tiquan Underwood’s Hi-Top Fade

October 16, 2012 / Paul Eide

Tiquan Underwood’s hi-top fade rivals anything from the late 80’s/early 90’s, even revered hi-top fade forerunner Kid from “Kid N Play“. Last Sunday, Underwood set a career “hi” in single game receiving yards with 68 on two receptions versus the Chiefs. After getting released by the Patriots the night before the Super Bowl last season, Underwood has “cut” himself a niche in Tampa Bay’s wide receiver rotation.

What are the odds his favorite route is the “fade”?
