How to profit from World Cup-themed promotions in the salon

In every World Cup, I notice that beauty salons get busier and create opportunities to increase income, using creative and simple strategies. For those who work in the beauty and wellness field, taking advantage of this atmosphere of unity and cheering is an invitation to innovate in services and customer experiences.

Major sporting events increase consumption and create new demands in salons.

According to projections from the Bank of America, the 2026 World Cup is expected to generate more than R$ 200 billion in the economy of the host countries. This shows the strength of this event in different sectors, including beauty. In Brazil, the industry already generates over US$ 300 billion globally, according to a survey by consulting firm Ásterès. These numbers show me that there will be no shortage of opportunities for those who invest in themed actions.

Why invest in World Cup themed actions?

When I decided to try out promotions inspired by the World Cup, I noticed that my clients became even more engaged during the game season. Many were looking for a different look to cheer or even to attend parties and events. Themed actions are a way to create experiences, generate a sense of belonging and, of course, boost salon revenue.

In addition, estimates from the Commercial and Industrial Association of Campinas indicate that the 2026 World Cup will represent a 19.4% growth in the region's economy compared to 2022. In other words, there is a favorable environment for those who wish to innovate in the salon with personalized services and campaigns.

Key ideas for World Cup themed actions

With my experience, I bring ideas that I have already seen working in different salons, and some I have tested personally. The secret lies in aligning creativity and organization, points where a system like Belasis makes all the difference by automating scheduling and helping with financial and marketing control.

• Themed decoration: Flags, balloons, ribbons, and elements in Brazil's colors create an engaging space. Tables with snacks during the games make a difference.

• Exclusive services: Fan hairstyles, nail art decorated with flags, makeup in green and yellow, or even "fan" hair hydration treatments.

• Flash promotions: Discounts during the game, special prices if Brazil moves on to the next stage, or combos for groups of friends.

• Bets and sweepstakes: Those who guess the score right can win free services or gifts.

• Extended hours on Brazil game days: During games, keep the salon open and create a festive atmosphere with a big screen and snacks for those who schedule an appointment.

These actions bring the salon closer to clients and make any visit to the salon a moment to celebrate. To get even more inspired, I recommend taking a look at World Cup promotion tips for salons and promotion ideas for beauty salons.

How to prepare the salon to take advantage of the World Cup?

In practice, I realized that planning makes all the difference. So I listed the steps that I consider essential before starting:

1. Define a budget for decorations and gifts.

2. Plan combos and themed promotions, including strategic dates and times.

3. Involve employees to suggest ideas and participate in the actions.

4. Schedule posts and campaigns on WhatsApp, a much simpler step when using platforms like Belasis.

In this regard, creating irresistible combos transforms traditional packages into new experiences, attracting groups and increasing the average ticket.

Marketing and promotion: it's not enough to just create, you have to communicate

World Cup campaigns only generate results when promoted intelligently. I learned this the hard way in the past, by focusing only on the salon and ignoring the digital side. Today, I see that using social media and WhatsApp is decisive. Even if you don't know how to create major posts, bringing photos of the decorations, showing clients cheering, and promoting combos is enough to generate anticipation and engagement.

Automating broadcast messages, promotional reminders, and organizing schedules are things that Belasis makes easy. I see clients more engaged when they receive personalized messages about the salon's special actions.

Examples of successful themed services

Some of the services that are successful during World Cups, and that already generate a lot of revenue in my salon and in those of my colleagues:

• Themed nail art: Flag designs, goals, soccer, or the colors of favorite teams.

• Personalized hairstyles and cuts: Braids, mohawks, decorative green and yellow ribbons, or even temporary colored highlights.

• Makeup to cheer: Colored eyeshadow, glitter application, and face gems in the colors of Brazil are highly requested on game days.

• Barbershop: Soccer ball or flag designs made with a razor, special cuts for men and kids.

In the women's segment, there is a visible expansion. Deloitte data shows that women's sports already generate billions in revenue, creating even more opportunities in salons and beauty clinics during World Cups.

How to turn these ideas into profit?

The key point, in my view, is to align creativity with efficient execution: it's not enough to just create cool promotions or decorate the salon, you have to ensure that everything runs smoothly internally.

I have needed help in the past to create service combos with attractive prices without losing control of cash flow. Tools like Belasis allow you to customize combos, automatically schedule campaigns, and monitor sales in real-time. This gave me more time to focus on what really matters: providing an outstanding experience for clients.

I also observe a jump in sales whenever I pair themed combos with special conditions and easy payments. I like to remember the importance of thinking about packages for groups of friends, families, or even companies that want to motivate employees to get into the World Cup spirit. Here, process automation proves to be an ally, as I can track everything through the app, even outside the salon.

How to measure results and ensure it was worth it?

With every action I take, I like to measure the results in a simple way: I compare revenue, customer flow, and the rate of new customers during these campaign periods. Belasis, for example, delivers automatic reports, which facilitates this analysis and allows me to adjust offers throughout the World Cup. I recommend using reports even for those who are starting out. It is interesting to see, with concrete data, the real impact of each action, whether in the number of bookings, cancellations, or average ticket.
