Newswire.net - December 28, 2012 - Devon Artis, a local salon expert, announced December 28 the pre-launch of his new site, ClevelandSalonsReview.com, which he designed to serve as a directory of the hottest, most sought after salons in the city.

Through ClevelandSalonsReview.com, salons have the opportunity to be included in the exclusive online salon directory that continues to generate a great deal of interest from consumers. The online directory is designed to help salons -- including day spas, barbers, tanning facilities, and manicurist and pedicurists -- showcase their businesses, as well as grow from referrals that are posted to their profile.

“As you know, the salon business is different than other in the services industry as most of the business generated by a salon is from referrals,” said Artis. “My new directory, ClevelandSalonsReview.com, helps salons start a ‘chain reaction,’ which will initiate more calls, visits and more referrals to those that subscribe to it.”

Cleveland Salons that subscribe to the directory receive the benefit of having their business profiled on the site with a site listing. The listing can feature a photo gallery, video,coupons, address and contact information, as well as services offered and allows for comments from customers.

Through the listing, a salon’s customers can provide a review of the services received. The positive word of mouth generated by customer reviews through the site will help participating salons set themselves apart from the competition, create brand awareness and establish a presence for the business online without the salon having to make a huge financial outlay for a customized website.

Additionally, salon owners who subscribe will have access to their business profile and are able to customize and change it as they like or during times of special promotions or for sales events.  

Pure and simple, ClevelandSalonsReview.com, offers local businesses the best, and most cost effective ways to reach local customers. Membership to the site includes a professionally designed profile online, which is one of the most effective hair salon marketing tools, said Artis.

“This directory will almost magnetically attract customers because it gives them a place to connect with you online,” said Artis. “There’s no other way to convey how important I feel this Salon Directory can be for your salon, and your clients, it’s proven to be that effective for those who have already subscribed.

“For Cleveland-area salons, image means everything, but salon owners still want to grow their business,” said Artis. “Creating an online presence takes a great deal of time, takes a lot of work and honestly it can be downright expensive, which means it is not practical for most salons and image professionals.” 

This is why ClevelandSalonsReview.com is different. It provides a strong online profile for a salon that allows customers to provide reviews about a business so it can generate referrals that are simple and easy for salon owners to manage.

Additionally, pricing packages are affordable and managing a salon’s account is easier than managing a Facebook page.
