A Guide to Setting Business Goals as an Esthetician in 2024

Incorporating Pomp for Success

As the calendar turns and we step into 2024, now is the time for licensed estheticians to reflect, refocus, and revamp their business strategies. The aesthetics industry is ever-evolving, and with advancements in technology, there are innovative tools like Pomp that can be seamlessly integrated into your workflow with your clients. Diving into strategic goal-setting for 2024, let’s explore how Pomp can be an invaluable asset to your business goals.

Define Clear and Specific Goals

It is important to note that every successful business thrives on clarity, regardless of industry. To define clear and specific goals for your aesthetics business, begin by assessing your current needs. Are you aiming to expand your clientele or engage your current clientele? Do you want to introduce new treatments into your services? Or perhaps you want to elevate your online presence? Once you’ve identified these objectives, break them down into actionable steps. For instance, if you wish to increase client engagement, outline strategies such as creating purchasable skincare routines in Pomp, encouraging your clients to tag you on social media, or creating skincare Favorites for your clients to shop from on Pomp.

Embrace Technology to Elevate Client Management

In today’s digital age, client management goes beyond appointment scheduling and intake forms. Clients want transparency about who you are and what you stand for via social media and other virtual mediums. This is where Pomp shines as a transformative tool for your aesthetics business. By leveraging Pomp’s virtual client management tools, you can streamline your operations by incorporating Pomp as the site clients have to go to to access your skincare recommendations. The ability to recommend clinical-grade skincare brands online without carrying inventory not only elevates service quality for your clients but also opens doors to additional revenue streams.

Invest in Continuous Learning and Training

Remaining relevant in the beauty industry is possible when you rely not just on following the trends you see online, but continuing education through learning from the brands you admire. Whether it's a groundbreaking skincare product or a cutting-edge treatment technique, staying updated is crucial. Allocate time and resources for professional development. Pomp is a trusted source for brand education because we partner with retailers directly, allowing you to receive the most up-to-date information about the brands you love. Prioritizing brand education and insights is a must for staying ahead of the curve, and offering clients the latest and greatest skincare solutions.

Foster Client Relationships and Build Trust

Are you struggling to build a loyal clientele? In addition to offering luxurious services, focusing on building genuine connections with your clientele is crucial to them trusting your recommendations in the treatment room and with their skincare routine. Truly listen to your clients' concerns, understand their skincare goals, and tailor your services accordingly. Stay organized by utilizing Pomp’s ability to gather client information and send personalized recommendations, showing your clients that you are more interested in the success of their skin versus making the sale.

Implement Sustainable Business Practices

As the aesthetics industry continues to evolve, there’s a growing emphasis on sustainability and ethical practices. While you may be knowledgeable about why skincare sold on Amazon is not worth the purchase, your clients may be unaware of the risks. Consider yourself an expert and incorporate education into your marketing content both online and in the treatment room. By also aligning your business with the sustainable practices of many of our brands housed on Pomp, not only do you contribute to a greener planet, but you also appeal to a conscious clientele that values ethical choices.

Monitor Progress and Adapt Accordingly

Goal-setting is not a one-time activity. As much as you’d love to set a goal on January 1st and see it to perfection by the end of the year, life always throws unexpected twists and turns our way, especially in business. Commit to regularly reviewing your progress, analyze what’s working, and identify areas that need adaptation throughout the year. Embrace flexibility and be willing to change with what proves to work for you, your business, and your clients. Tools like Pomp offer insights into client behavior, sales trends, and more, empowering you to make informed decisions alongside your peers. If you’re not already involved, engage in our Pomp Facebook Group to connect with estheticians across the country. Brainstorming business goals and practices with your peers is also a great way to hold yourself accountable for what you would like to accomplish in 2024!

As you, a licensed esthetician, embark on another year of your small business in 2024, ultimately setting clear, actionable goals is vital to your success. By incorporating tools like Pomp into your business strategy, elevate your services by enhancing the client experience. Embrace the opportunities that the new year brings, and let Pomp be your trusted partner in achieving all your aesthetic goals. Here’s to a year of growth, engaged clients, and radiant skin!
