If you’ve got a new team member, or want to apply a discount for bookings with one team member specifically, there are two easy ways to set this up in your menu.
Method 1: Using pricing levels
A quick way of achieving the same result is using pricing levels, which are great for if you have team members with different specialities or qualifications. If you don’t have pricing levels set up for your salon, this article explains how to do it.
- After setting up your pricing levels, go to your menu
- Click on the service you want to add a discount to
- Next to the duration of the service, add a sales price next to whichever pricing level will be being discounted
- Click “Save”.
Remember, if you have more than one team member in each of your pricing levels both team members would be bookable with the discount. In this case, if you only want one of the team members to be discounted, it’s best to use the method below.
Method 2: Using sales prices
Using this method, you duplicate the services that you have listed online, assign the team member to it whose prices will be lowered and set a new sales price.
- On a desktop, go to your Menu
- Click on the service you want to add a discount to
- Next to the ‘Archive’ button at the bottom, click the three dots
- Click “Create a copy”
- The duplicate service will now open
- Change the name of this new service so your customers can see the difference (Something like “Bouncy Blow Dry - 20% off with Lucy” will do)
- In the “Team” section of the box, make sure the service is only assigned to the team member whose service is being discounted
- Edit the price of this new item - we’d recommend adding a sales price
- Don’t forget to click “Save”
- Finally, go back to the original service and remove untick the box for that team member so that they’re only assigned to one of the services
You’ll need to repeat this quick process for each service that the team member is providing a discount for.
It’s important to remember that adding discounts this way will mean customers can book at these prices on any day, at any time. If that’s not what you’re looking for, last minute or off-peak discounts give you even more control of your pricing.
