Sola uses a comprehensive digital funnel that includes:<ol><li>Traffic Generation: A blend of organic and paid marketing drives prospective pros to Sola’s website.</li></ol>“That lead-to-lease journey starts with collaborations with our marketing department to work to drive traffic to our locations and, very importantly, to our website,” Grayson said. “That traffic takes two forms at the highest level. One is organic traffic, and the other is paid traffic.”<ol start="2"><li>Conversion-Focused Website: Designed as a high-performing conversion tool, the website captures interest and directs potential leads into the company’s CRM system.</li><li>New CRM Implementation: Sola is rolling out a cutting-edge customer relationship management system to further enhance the lead-to-lease journey, simplify the sales process, personalize communication and improve lead conversion rates.</li></ol>By refining these processes, Sola ensures every lead is nurtured with care, maximizing occupancy for its franchisees.<h3>Tools for Day-to-Day Operations</h3>Sola’s technology extends beyond lead conversion, supporting franchisees in daily operations and maintenance. With key tools like digital signage and SMS-based maintenance request capabilities, Sola has laid the foundation for franchisees to create a space that Sola Pros will be proud to work out of.“Sola’s commitment to innovation is about creating tools that help our franchisees and their teams be better connected to their Pros,” Grayson said. “Our ultimate goal is to support salon professionals and beauty professionals who are looking to start their own business with a physical platform.”While this has created an incredibly successful model for the Sola Salons system, the franchisor is looking to further level-up its support for the Sola Pros, ultimately creating an even stronger, more attractive business model for prospective franchisees.“We’re also putting in place a vision to support Sola Pros with their digital platforms as well,” Grayson said. “We’re creating ways to help pros build their books and support their businesses with new lead generation, making us a one-stop-shop for pros and differentiating us from other salon suite models.”<h3>Commitment to Innovation</h3>With Grayson’s extensive experience in technology leadership roles, including previous positions at Orangetheory Fitness, Equinox, SoulCycle and IKON Pass, Sola’s commitment to innovation is clear.&nbsp;“We’re constantly evolving and innovating to create tools that help franchisees and their teams better connect with and support their pros more effectively,” Grayson said. “While some initiatives are still in development, this innovation positions us to redefine the salon suite model, providing pros both physical and digital platforms to help them achieve their dreams of independence.”To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/sola-salons">https://1851franchise.com/sola-salons</a>
