Plan a Profitable Q4

Q4 is make-or-break for a salon. Clients want to look their best for every holiday event, gift cards fly off the shelf, and retail sales climb — but only if you actually have a plan. Without one, you're just reacting: overbooked one week, scrambling for retail stock the next, and exhausted by New Year's.

This 22-page workbook was built specifically for salon owners (and the coaches who work with them) to map out the entire holiday quarter — month by month, dollar by dollar, week by week.

What's Inside:

• A Q4 vision, goals & key-numbers worksheet (revenue targets, average ticket, rebooking rate)
• A full October–December key-dates calendar (Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Thanksgiving week, Christmas closures, New Year's Eve)
• Month-by-month playbooks for October (fall momentum), November (the booking rush), and December (peak holiday + New Year setup) — each with promotion ideas and a fill-in worksheet
• A holiday gift card & promotion playbook with bonus-tier templates
• A 12-week marketing calendar template
• A staffing & scheduling plan to protect your team (and your own days off)
• An inventory & retail prep checklist
• A monthly financial tracker (targets vs. actuals)
• A client retention & rebooking script guide
• Four weekly action planner templates
• An end-of-quarter reflection to carry momentum into Q1

Who it's for: Salon owners, stylists, and booth renters who want a real plan for their busiest quarter — and the coaches guiding them through it.
