Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate my retention rate?
Use the formula: ((Clients at end of period - New clients during period) / Clients at start of period) x 100. For example, started with 200, gained 50 new, ended with 210: ((210-50)/200) x 100 = 80%.
What timeframe should I use?
Calculate monthly for tracking trends, but 6-month or annual rates give the most meaningful picture. Use the same timeframe consistently for accurate comparisons.
What is a good retention rate for salons?
The average is 30-40%. Good is 50-70%. Excellent is 70%+. If you are below 40%, automated retention campaigns can quickly improve your numbers.
How does retention impact revenue?
Increasing retention by just 5% can boost profits by 25-95% because retained clients spend more, refer others, and cost nothing to acquire.
