Want an industry-proven way to increase your revenue? Increase your frequency of visit (FOV)! If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of FOV, it measures the average number of times a client visits your business. For a salon, the industry average is roughly 4.88 times per year, but your FOV is also dependent on the services you offer at your business.
The Relationship Between FOV and Revenue
Even though it’s a simple concept, frequency of visit is one metric that affects your business significantly.
To understand the impact it can have on your bottom line, here is a projection using our ‘What If’ tool. ‘What If’ takes a business’s current metrics and allows you to change different factors to see the effect on your revenue. So, what if a business JUST increases frequency of visit by one per year?
Notice how just one more visit (from 5 to 6) produced 20% growth in service sales, going from $57,540 to $69,048. Did you notice anything else? Increasing visits has a side effect of also increasing retail. In this ‘What If’ scenario, retail grew 20% as well.
Setting goals to improve your FOV can take your business to new heights. From extraordinary customer service to marketing to re-booking to implementing client loyalty points, there are several things you can do to make your clients excited to come back to your business.
