Co-Promoting with Salons

[micajoy]

I have the opportunity to partner with a local upscale salon. We are meeting in 2 weeks to discuss ideas that would be mutually beneficial. Other than the normal give-a-ways, makeovers and a portrait, etc - does anybody have any interesting ideas?

I want to make sure they benefit as much as I do.

Once you reach a certain amount of sales from the promotion, offer large wall portraits for the salon (tagged with your information).

"Upscale" is good, but at what point in life is the clientele? What other portrait needs might the salon's clients need that you could capitalize on and are willing to do (maternity, family portraits, weddings, anniversaries, etc.). I'd tailor offerings so they'd appeal to the majority of the clients; not everyone going in will want images of themselves; some might have children who are seniors in high school, getting married, have little kids, want a family portrait, etc.
