Gift cards and passes: the easiest £1,000 your salon isn't making

· 5 min read

Prepaid products do two magic things: they bring cash forward, and they guarantee return visits. December gift cards pay January's rent.

Gift cards: the acquisition tool

Gift cards are bought by your existing clients FOR new people — they are word-of-mouth with money attached. Keep balances flexible: part-redemption should just work.

Passes: the retention tool

A 10-session pass at a small discount converts your occasional client into a committed regular. Automatic redemption matters: nobody wants to keep a paper punch card in 2026.

Coupons: the utilisation tool

Quiet Tuesday mornings? A 20%-off code shared on Instagram on Monday evening fills them. Cap the uses, set an expiry, and track redemptions per code.

All three — gift cards with balances, passes redeemed with their code, and coupon codes — are free in Slotora, with zero commission on the revenue they bring you. Gift cards and passes in Slotora

May we measure which pages actually help? “Accept all” also lets us measure our own adverts.

What exactly does this mean?

We'd like to use Google Analytics to see which pages help and which don't, and to remember which poster, flyer or message of ours — or which salon's recommendation — brought you here. Accept all also allows a Meta advertising pixel, so we can tell which of our own adverts brought a salon that signed up — and if you create an account, our server sends Meta your email address scrambled (hashed), never as readable text, with your IP address, your browser's details and Meta's own cookie ids — never your name — purely so it can recognise that the sign-up came from an advert. None of this runs on a salon's own booking page. Everything the service itself needs works either way. Cookie Policy
