The Walk-In Strategy: Turning Foot Traffic Into Bookings


Listen Later

In this milestone 50th episode, Allyson shares quick and tangible tips on how solo estheticians can turn walk-ins and foot traffic into real bookings — without being salesy or awkward. Whether you're in a suite, storefront, or just near foot traffic, this strategy helps you make the most of your current space.

How to make your space walk-in friendly:

  • Use an A-frame chalkboard sign with your name, services & offers

  • Display simple flyers, brochures, or menus at front desks or suite entrances

  • Make sure your logo clearly shows what you do

  • Create a warm vibe with soft music and spa scents

What to say when someone walks in:

  • Use simple scripts like:
    “Hi, I’m Allyson, I’m the esthetician here. Do you have any skin questions I can help with?”
    or
    “Feel free to grab a card or ask about quick services for walk-ins!”

Offer a “walk-in only” incentive:

  • Free brow wax with any service

  • $10 off a 30-minute treatment

  • A sample-size skincare goodie bag

  • Use urgency phrases like “while supplies last”

Create local referral cards just for walk-ins:

  • “Refer a friend who lives or works nearby — you both get a free add-on!”

  • Add space for name, number, or a QR to book

Final takeaway:
You don’t need to go viral to get booked.
Sometimes your next best client is walking right past your door.
