Dublin neighbourhood promo kit: 8 areas
Get known on your own streets: who to talk to, what to offer, and when. €34.
Who it’s for
Dublin salons, barbers and beauty rooms that want more clients from within a 15-minute walk. You’d rather spend €100 on something local than another boosted post.
What’s inside
- 8 area pages. Rathmines, Ranelagh, Drumcondra, Stoneybatter, Phibsborough, Clontarf, Dún Laoghaire and Swords: who’s around, when they book, what to offer.
- Partner ideas. Cafés, gyms, florists, bridal shops, schools and workplaces nearby to swap flyers or offers with.
- Flyer template. A5 flyer in Word with your offer, map line and booking link.
- Voucher template. Gift and referral vouchers with a code and expiry box.
- Referral scheme. Bring-a-friend rules that don’t cost you a fortune.
- Workplace offer. Lunchtime and after-work deals for nearby offices and hospitals.
- 6-week calendar. What to do each week, with a tracking sheet for bookings from each idea.
- Tracking sheet. Which idea brought in which clients, and what it cost.
How you use it
- Read your area page (or the closest one).
- Pick two partner ideas and one offer.
- Edit the flyer and voucher templates.
- Follow the 6-week calendar.
- Track where each new client came from.
What it won’t do
- It isn’t market research. Area notes are practical pointers, not statistics.
- It doesn’t print or deliver flyers.
- It won’t guarantee bookings.
- It isn’t legal advice on promotions; keep offer terms clear and fair (see ccpc.ie).
Worked example: six weeks for a Clontarf salon
Two partners and one referral offer, tracked.
| Idea | Cost | New clients | Cost per new client |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flyers in the café on Vernon Avenue | €45 | 6 | €7.50 |
| Bridal shop referral cards | €30 | 4 | €7.50 |
| Bring-a-friend €10 off | €110 | 11 | €10.00 |
| Boosted post | €60 | 2 | €30.00 |
The tracking sheet works out cost per new client for each idea.
