In today's podcast, we cover the subject of how Salon Memberships can benefit your business, chatting with Tara Shaw from Payleadr. 

Put simply, a salon membership is similar to a gym membership model. You receive a certain level of membership with various inclusions, and you pay for it weekly or monthly.

A salon membership may be for a 12 month period and also  be paid for weekly, annually or monthly. You can design bespoke memberships for clients, however most usually provide members with discounts and deals for various types of treatments and services as a reward for signing up to the package program. Members might also receive special offers, prizes, and perks not offered to non-members.

There are many advantages of implementing a Salon Membership program model:

Predictability

When you have a recurring direct debit business model, your ability to accurately predict future income is significantly enhanced.

Visibility

Because of the nature of recurring revenue models, you have clear visibility into what is coming in the next week, month, quarter and year. You know where you stand well in advance.

Expense Management

Predictability and visibility means you can manage your expenses more precisely relative to your revenue.

Valuation

Because of the predictability and visibility factors, valuation multiples are radically different for recurring revenue businesses than any other revenue model.

Are you a director of a company? If so, by law you will need to apply for a Director ID by the end of 2022. 

A Director ID is a 15 digit identifier that you only need to apply for once in your lifetime. It's free and you will keep it always, even if you cease being a director in the future. 

In this Business Snips short video, we chat to Robin Hayes from the Australian Business Registry Services, who explains all about the Director ID and how you go about obtaining it.

Does the thought of re-negotiating your lease, liaising with your landlord, or searching for new premises and entering a new lease, give you heart palpatations?

If you answered a big YES to any of the above, you'll love meeting our next Business Snips guest and AHC member. Her name is Kelly Cunningham and she is the founder of Your Leasing Co. and she has literally saved our AHC members hundreds of thousands of dollars when it comes to anything related to leases. 

The great thing about Kelly and her team is that they exclusively represent the tenant. So they are your voice when it comes to dealing with landlords, making negotiations a more even playing field, for a peaceful outcome with a practical and sensible solution. 

If you have any questions regarding leases, we recommend you get in touch with Kelly, we promise you won't regret it. Our members couldn't speak highly enough of her expertise and service. https://yourleasingco.com.au/

Does your business have a .com.au or .net.au or a .com domain name? Maybe like the AHC you are a .org.au if you are a not-for-profit? Have you heard of just .au - no com, net, gov or org at all?

If you haven't, then you should listen to our next Business Snips guest, Rosemary Sinclair from auDA, who is going to talk to us about why we all need to register a .au name for our businesses. 

If you haven't heard about auDA, their work is critical to what we all do every day.  If you have a website that ends in au or an email that ends in au, auDA is the organisation that makes sure everything is working correctly and that your email gets to where it is supposed to. 

So why should we register this new name space - .au - when we already have a .com or .net or .org? Watch and find out! And if you'd like to know how to go about it, visit the auDA website at this link: https://www.auda.org.au/
