Today’s guest is Vanessa McDonald from Salon Marketing Creative Agency Vanessa McDonald is the founder and director of Salon Marketing Creative Agency, aka SMC, and has helped salons "stand out like a flamingo amongst a flock of pigeons" through database-focused marketing since 2016. Vanessa entered the professional beauty industry over 20 years ago and has worked in various sales or marketing roles for notable brands such as Dermalogica, Shortcuts Salon & Spa Software and Professional Beauty Solutions. Industry leaders refer to Vanessa as the "queen of retention marketing", and with good reason. Retention marketing has been her sole focus since 2008. Vanessa's mantra is "all clients are new clients", whether they have visited the business once and never returned or have been coming regularly for beauty services but never had a skin-related treatment. "Salons, spas and clinics don't need to do backflips and cartwheels to attract new clients because the majority have less than 27% of new clients return for a second visit. If a salon owner puts as much effort and dollars into their new client rebook and retention strategies as they do to acquire a new client, the overall revenue would be life-changing." Vanessa helps salon, spa, and clinic owners make more money using their most valuable marketing asset- their client database using direct-response marketing strategies to generate profit. To share her ideas and strategies on how to reduce new client attrition and retain more new clients, from Salon Marketing Creative Agency, today we welcome Vanessa McDonald.

20 years ago, a young acne suffering teenager fuelled and fed Kristen's passion for skincare.  Frustrated and dissatisfied with traditional westernised medicine (think rounds of antibiotics, harsh prescriptions swiftly scribbled during dermatologist rapid-fire visits, and potent smelling topicals) led to a personal quest to solve her own and others’ acne skin issues. After graduating with a BS in Biochemistry and working in a skin toxicology lab, Kristen left her east coast roots to specifically contribute to the success of Murad. A dermatologist/pharmacist brand steeped in a non-traditional Connected Beauty approach to skincare and healthful beauty that she had gratefully discovered years prior to become a lifelong fan. In her roles as Assistant manager, Manager and now Senior Director of New Product Development, Kristen has been able to work by Dr. Murad’s side directing technology and formulation direction with her team to create and cultivate, from concept to production, award-winning efficacious skincare steeped in Dr. Murad’s Cellular Water principle. Starting in 2007 with over 70+ innovations; such as Invisiblur, Rapid Relief Acne Spot Treatment, Revitalixir Recovery Serum, Nutrient-Charged Water Gel, Multi Prebiotic Cleanser and Mist, and #1 Selling Retinol in US; Retinol Youth Renewal Serum, Kristen continues to help orchestrate the development of Murad’s Topical skincare and Internal supplements for Murad’s Professional and Retail customers.
