Inflation-Proofing: Increasing Yield Without Scaring Clients

Rent is up. Product costs are up. Wages are up. The obvious solution is to raise your prices, but you fear a client revolt. The smarter solution? Raise your Efficiency.

The "Empty Chair" Tax

Your most expensive cost is a stylist standing around. If your utilization is 60%, raising prices by 10% won't save you. Filling that other 40% will.

Dynamic Yield Management

Airlines and hotels change prices based on demand. Seglo lets you do this subtly:

• Gap Filling: The AI prioritizes bookings that fit snugly into your schedule, eliminating dead time.
• Deposit Security: Eliminate the 5% revenue loss from no-shows instantly.
• Upsell Prompts: The AI suggests add-on treatments ("Olaplex with that color?") during booking, increasing the average ticket size by 15% without a price hike.

The Math

If you have 5 staff doing $100/hour, eliminating just one 30-minute gap per person per day = $250/day. That's $75,000 a year in pure profit, just by optimizing the calendar.

Key Takeaways

• Efficiency > Price Hikes: Optimize your time before asking clients for more money.
• Increase Ticket Size: Use AI to upsell higher-margin add-ons.
• Protect every slot: Deposits ensure your time is paid for.
