This year, <a href="https://1851franchise.com/greatclips/info">Great Clips</a> launched a “Trim It Up,” campaign,&nbsp; with the focus on Online Check-In and the Great Clips app, to help trim the back-to-school checklists of parents and kids during a busy time for families everywhere.To draw attention to the brand’s convenient technology and salon offerings, Great Clips partnered with professional skateboarder Tony Hawk and his 13-year-old daughter as influencers for the campaign.

The brand’s multifaceted approach and partnerships with influencers are geared to elevate and update its traditional norms of advertising. These marketing and public relations efforts ensure the campaign is not only visible to a wide range of customers, but accessible for customers to meet the brand on multiple platforms.While these Great Clips campaigns are national in reach, the brand is still focused on leveraging assets and opportunities for franchisees to bring these programs to life in their local markets.“As a Great Clips franchise owner, it is a huge asset to have a nationwide campaign that is bringing people in the door during back-to-school season,” said Juanita Kilambi, &nbsp; an owner of salons in the San Diego market.&nbsp; “This is one of the more popular times of the year for our business, and we wouldn’t be able to launch anywhere near this amount of attention if we were an independent shop.”Hake says the brand’s extra effort on the marketing and communications front has helped it establish a nationwide presence. “We have a tremendous marketing team that comes up with these ideas, and our brand is truly getting promoted in hand-picked ways.” The team’s strategy allows Great Clips to generate millions of marketing impressions with each campaign.“It’s important for our customers to receive a convenient, comfortable experience at an affordable price they can rely on,” Hake said. “This holds true for both our salon experience and our brand advertising;and we’re able to reach customers in individualized ways, and we’re able to ensure every customer gets the look they want once they walk in the door.”Promotions for the brand’s “Trim It Up” campaign began in July and wrapped up in September. The campaign offered a glimpse into the ever-changing landscape of consumer marketing and the continual efforts Great Clips is making to meet the needs of clients through a changing marketing strategy.The total investment to open a Great Clips salon ranges from $146,750 to $302,400.
