How To Grow Your Lash Business On Social Media

You’re a lash artist wanting to grow your lash business. You’ve heard about social media and how it can help you boost your brand and get more clients. But how do you start? What should you post, who should you follow, and what exactly do you need to do to make it work for your business?

I'm writing this blog post today to help out lash artists looking for ways to grow their lash business. Times are tough, we're in the middle of a pandemic, but we have to keep our chin up! Things are evolving so as the way we manage our lash business. Gone are the days when we printed out tons of flyers, spent so much time to give out to people who will eventually throw them out, and that's additional trash on the earth.

We live in a digital era wherein you can run your lash extension business using your mobile gadgets such as your laptop, tablets, and mobile phones.

With these on hand, it became easier to market your business online. There are a lot of useful social media platforms that are free to register, and if utilized properly, they will surely be profitable.

I have started to use Instagram and evolved to more social media sites around.

INSTAGRAM

Instagram is a photo and video-sharing application to connect with people. I love how it works, and you can advertise your lash work and your lash business.

You can post your work, add relevant hashtags, location, and call-to-action captions. Ensure that your photos and videos are not blurry and capture the images well.

You get to add people with the same interest as yours and connect with them by sharing their postings, commenting, and simply following their accounts.

I love their IGTV, wherein you can post videos longer than 1 minute, and people find it interesting to watch videos. It adds up to your engagement which affects the algorithm of your account.

Their IG stories are so enticing to use, you can make use to promote products, and you can directly drive them to your website thru swipe ups.

I would surely recommend this application as I found it very useful, especially to our lash extension supply business, even got so many clients to have an appointment with us.

7. FACEBOOK

Same as Instagram, you can also share images and videos on Facebook. You can do more on Facebook, like share your blog postings, YouTube links. If you happen to have a YouTube channel, you can join Facebook groups and grow your business hereby collaborating with other people.

 

Facebook

 

Facebook has its scheduler that you can use to schedule all your postings. I found it very helpful to use this app since you can immediately post links to your products and services to eventually drive to your website. 

My favorite is the Facebook Support Group that we started. As of this writing, we have 6,000 lash members worldwide. They are excellent that they get to post their works, products, and services and even ask our fellow lash artists questions.

They also have their Facebook story, the same as the IG Stories. Most people are into Facebook and knowledgeable in using the app and promoting their lash work, products and services.

It is an easy-to-use application for all, and if used to its maximum potential, you can get possible clients.

Pinterest is an American image sharing and social media service designed to enable the saving and discovery of information on the World Wide Web using images and, on a smaller scale, animated GIFs and videos in the form of pinboards. 

 

Pinterest

 

I love how interactive it is, and you get to collaborate with other people. Save their work on your timeline, and it will help you with your engagement.

Make sure you are consistent in pinning new pins every single day. Pinterest wants further information as often as possible.

It's a platform to share your creativity and works well with tutorials, recipes, DIY projects, demos, etc.

If you happen to have a shop, you can connect it to your Pinterest to draw traffic to your website.
