June is Men’s Health Month, and let’s not forget it’s also Father’s Day. It is a prime month for focusing your business around your male clients, future male clients and female clients looking for ideas for their husbands, partners, brothers, fathers and sons. I’m also counting dog dads, my plumber and the pool guy. They deserve much love and appreciation, and fortunately I know just the right gift to say thank you.
The notion of men not taking care of their skin, being interested in skin care tools or engaging in regular skin services is a crazy misconception. They are in fact right up there with the ladies when it comes to taking care of themselves. When you consider the recent data and future sales forecasts, you might just decide to revamp your space and move your male related products front and center in your retail area.
