Going for a haircut in Chennai? don’t forget your Aadhaar Card.

Shut for two months, hair and beauty salons are now opening their shutters once again for the public, but looks like their struggle for survival is far from over.

SOP issued for establishments to help in contact tracing
The next time you go for a haircut or grooming in Tamil Nadu, remember your Aadhaar number and your mobile phone number. According to the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) issued for salons, beauty parlours and spas, they must collect the name, address, mobile phone numbers and Aadhaar of their customers to help in contact tracing for COVID-19.

The seven-page SOP for owners and workers of these establishments issued by the Commissioner of Revenue Administration to Commissioner of Greater Chennai Corporation and all District Collectors, hand sanitisers are to be provided near the entrance of beauty parlours and spas, if not, facilities to wash hands with soap and water. A senior officer said the details are collected as a precaution and would help in case someone in a salon tested positive.
                       
“With details in hand, it would be easy for contact-tracing, which is taking a long time. We are taking various steps but public cooperation is essential.”
“To the extent possible” customers could be allowed for “service by appointment” to avoid crowding and to ensure physical distancing norms.
Only 50% of the seats are to be occupied at a time and markings for queues are necessary to ensure there is no crowding.
Air-conditioners or air coolers should not be used and all windows should remain open to ensure ventilation. Blades should not be reused and used blades and face packs should be disposed of safely. Headbands and towels once used for a customer should not be reused before washing.Napkins are to be provided to customers and used napkins are to be disposed of safely. Employees involved in the work have to wash their hands with soap and water before attending to customers. Workers must wear hand gloves and face masks.
Employees with cold, cough or fever have to approach a doctor for examination. “Under no circumstances should such employees be involved in work. Every beauty parlour and spa should ensure this procedure,” the SOP said.
Customers having cold or cough or fever should not be allowed.
The conditions laid down by the authorities were to be displayed prominently. The respective district administrations and local bodies have been directed to ensure compliance.

Bengaluru: The Karnataka government recently announced that hair and beauty salons can operate as part of the relaxations in the fourth phase of the lockdown. It was a much-needed relief for not just the salon businesses, but also the people who had been waiting for that much needed haircut.
For salons that wish to operate, the government has put out 14 standard operating procedures (SOP) for the safety of workers and customers during this pandemic.
Here’s the copy of the order that lists the SOP to be followed by the salons:
Most Salons cannot afford to implement the SOPs
While safety is the primary concern, the plight of barbers to afford this level of safety is another ballgame altogether.
Most salons in the city have not just lost businesses in the last two months, but have also been paying rent, salaries water and electricity bills during this period, and are now left broke and helpless.
The SOPs demand that customers should be checked for fever, which could be possible through a thermal scanner that costs over Rs 2,500. Not just that, disposable sheets per customer, gloves, sanitisation, etc., are all extra costs that the salons now have to incur. This would mean the helpless lot who are out of business and broke need to shell out anywhere between Rs 10,000-15,000 to restart their business.

The missing case of the government-assured Rs 5,000
Few days ago, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa announced that all hair and beauty salons would be given Rs 5,000 as financial aid to support them due to the loss incurred during lockdown. 
While most owners have not received the said amount, many don’t know the process to be followed.
The plight of your local barber
“We have suffered losses in lakhs and it has been difficult times for us – to pay rent for the shop, feed family. The government’s promised aid hasn’t reached us and we now have been asked to spend on protective equipment for which where will we bring the money from? The number of customers visiting are also much lesser now,” Nagesh, who runs a small salon in Bengaluru, said.
While safety is the primary concern in these times, the government needs to work a way around to help these small salons get back on their feet. With lowered business and piling costs, it’s getting harder and harder for them to survive.

Appointment shopping, online selling to become new retail norms post coronavirus lockdown

  • Retailers may go the the extra mile, devising ways to woo customers back while complying with norms on hygiene and social distancing

  • MUMBAI : When you step out to shop after the lockdown is lifted, be prepared to shop by appointment and enter the showroom in personal protective gear.

    As safety tops customer priorities, retailers know that footfall post-covid-19 will dwindle. Nevertheless, they are going the extra mile, devising ways to woo customers back, while addressing hygiene and social distancing norms.

    “Shop by appointment probably looks like a reality going forward," said Ajay Kapoor, president, retail, Fabindia, adding that shops will have to work around it. Kapoor was talking at a webinar on retail business roadmap organized by the Retailers Association of India on 29 April.

    He said the biggest challenge for Fabindia will be to regulate traffic to its popular stores while adhering to social distancing norms. Fabindia, which is running 10 out of its 327 stores to deliver food and essential items, is trying to work on the concept of shopping by appointment.

  • Men’s clothing brand Blackberrys is working to keep its showrooms clean by regular cleaning of door knobs, covering of footwear, and sanitizing trial rooms and cash desk.

    “In addition to tangible measures, we are equally conscious of the safety of our sales team and customer care associates, so we are advising them to avoid public transport," said Nitin Mohan, founder and director, Blackberrys, adding that the firm’s HR department tracks staff’s safety through morning and evening phone calls. It has also decided trial clothes for customers will be kept aside for a few days before being put back on the shelves.

    India’s retail industry may take at least 9-12 months to recover from the pandemic.

    “The most important thing for malls and stores is to create an environment of safety and win over the first few shoppers coming in. Then the word-of-mouth will spread. More and more shoppers will become comfortable and business will revive," said Sumit Ghosh, director, Fossil India.

What You Think You Know About Marketing Your Startup


As a startup you’ve probably run through your business plan a million times, spoken to umpteen people – friends, family, mentors, advisors and hopefully, gained few customers fairly quickly. In terms of marketing, you promote your brand on social media, send emails and newsletters via Mailchimp at regular intervals and start an SEM campaign to pull traffic to your website. If you have an app or website, you also end up sending messages to customers via SMS Gupshup or Twillio along with in-app notifications.
However, when it comes to getting insights on your customers and communicating with them, if you’re relying on your gut instinct, on the homework you did when you started out, or on the data from a horde of tools that you now don’t have time to check then you need to continue reading. Here are some common misconceptions you might have:
I am already aware of what my customers want.
We are sure you do. But can you pin point when a customer dropped off from your product or service or how they interact with your business? You need a tool that makes all your customer data (behavioural & transactional) searchable and available wherever you are. This enables you or your team to make better decisions regarding marketing communications based on hard core customer data.
I already have tools for analytics, email, SMS, push & my transaction database. I’m covered.
Yes, you are! But you’re also going crazy logging in to separate tools for each specific action! Your data is lying in silos on each tool & it’s impossible for you or your team to make sense of it all & get a holistic picture. It is possible to access customer data on a unified platform and act on it. It helps you easily communicate across multiple-channels (Email, SMS, Push Notifications) and also connects this data to internal systems through webhooks.
I already communicate with my customers by sending newsletters to them.
Well, your competitors are doing much more than that! Triggered messages based on what your customers do or don’t, on your website or app, have 4X better engagement rates than traditional newsletters. You need to take advantage of reaching out to your customers at the perfect time.
I only care about open rates and CTRs. It tells me everything I need to know.
There’s more to just open rates & CTRs. And don’t let agencies or marketing professionals tell you otherwise! There are tools that tell you what actions your customers have taken on your app/site after customers have opened or clicked on your message, so you can measure the actual effectiveness of your message. You can even set ‘goals’ like bringing more visitors to your website, getting more signups, reducing customer churn/customers slipping away etc. In fact, if you are an eCommerce portal, it is actually possible for you to treat every single email as a ‘goal’ where you can actually see sales going up as a result of your email!

In short, there are metrics like web visits, time spent on your app/website, sign-ups, CTRs, open and click rates that are good to know, but they paint a one sided picture of your business. Knowing your customer takes a different set of metrics altogether. And when you use those metrics to communicate with your customers, it turns your customers into brand ambassadors for your business via intelligent customer communication and of course, profitability.

A Beginner’s Guide on How To Sell Fashion Jewelry Online

New to the entrepreneurial world and wondering how to sell fashion jewellery online? You must develop a successful plan from product manufacturing, marketing to shipping. Sounds interesting? Read this valuable guide on how to become a successful entrepreneur by selling fashion jewellery online.
With the rapidly evolving technology, the way we conduct business or shop today has changed drastically. E-Commerce is one such platform that has bagged tremendous success by connecting sellers and buyers on the globe. It’s a win-win situation for both parties, the seller easily earns a good profit without having to make an extra effort, while the buyer gets branded products at a cheaper rate. From the point of marketing the product to its sales and shipping, the E-Commerce platform plays a pivotal role.
There is no better way to impress a woman than present her with jewellery. Subsequently, jewellers around the world leave no opportunity to sell their popular and latest creations to the fairer sex. But that’s half truth, even men today are active seekers of creative jewellery pieces, from neck wear to their ankles. With such a large market potential, it is only wise to sell fashion jewellery online. However, reaching a colossal number of the right audience in the competitive marketplace is significant, because the brick-and-mortar store is incapable of reaching out on a global scale, unless it embraces the E-Commerce platform.
Sell Fashion Jewellery Online- The Procedure
Market Research:
Before launching your online business, a detailed market research on the fashion jewellery products is essential. Doing so would help you sketch a robust business strategy, in terms of marketing and sales of the product, including advertising and analysing the suitable geographical areas, where the probability of sales is high.
Develop a questionnaire that will provide you with an insight about the target market and its demographics. Statistically analyse the results of your survey to ensure that you have all the key elements covered in your research in regards to your business perspective. You can choose to conduct a focused group discussion to get an in depth analysis of your customers’ needs and requirements. Make sure you have analysed your results yielded according to the areas of strengths and weaknesses. You are basically doing something called as a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) in terms of market research perspective. An insight about the target market and the audience that you will cater to will give you a better edge on what direction to head in your business growth
Product Catalogue:
Establish Product Category- If you are contemplating on launching a jewellery sales business, you must first select a suitable category, you may choose a single or opt for multiple product lines. You may want to segregate your items according to genders or age groups.
For example, your product line of rings, anklets, necklaces, bracelets, necklaces or earrings can be mapped for men & women in different sections, or segregated by age groups like children, men & women above 60, 50, 30, or 20 years.
Product Images: A catalog that contains pictures and good description instantly draws customer attention. Furthermore, a neatly aligned catalog makes it easier for customers to flip through the sections and select from relevant categories. Only clear, concise, and attractive photographs of the jewellery piece will sell!
Product Descriptions: A well-defined product description increases the sales value by several notches. Remember, do not make false promises about your product, it will simply backfire and spoil your image.
Product Price- Prior to slapping a jewellery item with a price tag, analyse the jewellery base price, its cost of manufacturing, marketing, and shipping. A fair price will not only make the customer trust you, but you would also gain from the sales and the free advertisement that a satisfied customer would spread.
Website Designing:                           
Boost your business further by creating a website for your company. It could range from a simple template with your logo and “About us” section that contains your business profile to a fully-fledged website with furnished sections dedicated to each section. Additionally, ensure your website is mobile friendly as it will improve your customer reach and help you to increase in your sales volume.
You can actually check out for pre-developed and designed web pages that not only are tailor-made to suit your requirements, but can be enhanced further to become mobile friendly or for E-Commerce requirements, if need be.
Modes of Marketing & Advertising
Your website is ready, what now? Of course, you need to popularize it through different marketing channels to draw traffic and eventually sales. You may solely promote your company’s website, or advertise your products in numerous popular market places in addition to your website.
If planning to launch your own website to sell fashion jewellery online, deploy different online marketing methods namely;
• Email Marketing – This process essentially means that you developed templates to send out your promotions via email to your customers. Design an effective, neat and crisp yet attractive ad campaign specifically made to send out on emails.
• Paid Advertisements- You can post your advertisement for a promotional or a discount offer on popular search engines like Google. You can advertise on social media sites like Facebook by paying a small fee to boost your business in numerous ways.
• Popularizing your website via SEO techniques – Using organically advantageous content on your web pages that abide by search engine policies by enriching it with appropriate keywords and back links will also help you in generating higher rankings on search engines and providing you with better traffic.
Select Payment Method
The E-commerce mode of sales has opened new avenues for entrepreneurs. Now their sales are not restricted to local markets but on a global scale. Thus to meet the growing demands of overseas shipping, businesses should also gear up their payment methods. Secure payment options like debit card, credit card, and PayPal works brilliantly with the audiences.
Shipping the Product
Shipping the jewellery item in a secure packaging material will enhance your company’s goodwill. Remember, not to make your package too big, as it will increase your shipping cost. Also, ensure that your shipping items are packed well using necessary protection like thermocol, bubble wrap, and cardboard packaging. Make sure it is dust, rain, and damage resistant, as you don’t want your customers to receive a broken package!

Selling fashion jewellery online can become easy once you know which direction you are heading and strategic your moves accordingly. Ensuring that you have researched well and have a decent optimized web page will enhance your business further.
