The Hunt for New Zealand’s Favourite Salon

(PR.co.nz) Salon Finder creators, kiwi husband and wife team Chris and Rachael D’Aguiar-Sanders devised the competition to help bring some cheer back to an industry that in the last 2 years has seen the pinch, with 1 in 5 salons going out of business or downsizing dramatically. Many blaming the recession and the ‘daily deal’ craze for the downturn.

“New Zealand’s Favourite Salon is all about getting customers telling us about their favourite salons in New Zealand, Says Rachael. A salon is a place where people go to feel treated like they are part of that community as well as be pampered. We want to help re-establish loyalty between salons and their customers and get the industry back on its feet again!”

In order to win the coveted title of ‘New Zealand’s Favourite Salon’ a salon must simply register on Salon Finder iPhone App and get their clients to ‘Favourite’ their salon by tapping the heart on their salons listing within the app – each favourite = 1 VOTE. The salon with the most favourites will win.

The ‘favourite’ salon will win a luxury get-away for 2 in Rotorua including a Lakeview Room at the Novotel and pampering Spa treats at the Polynesian Spa. They will also receive a business building pack including 12 months Coaching & Mentoring courtesy of Worldwide Salon Marketing and The Salon Staff Coach, and a feature story on the winning salon in Images Magazine. A total package worth almost $15,000!

There are also heaps of amazing prizes for consumers who download the app including the same luxury weekend get-away in Rotorua and weekly product giveaways on our facebook page.

New Zealand’s Favourite Salon is open to ALL salons, clinics and spa’s, no matter where they are in New Zealand or how big or small the salon is! Everyone has the same chance to win!

Competition Starts on May 14th 2012 and finishes on July 2nd with the winner being announced on July 3rd.
