Glammr Salon Capacity Economics™

Turn Your Ghost Revenue Result Into a Controlled Recovery Plan

Your Ghost Revenue result shows the gross appointment value currently passing unused through your salon calendar. The question now is not how to fill every empty appointment - it is which appointments should remain protected, and which are genuinely suitable for recovery.

This is your starting point - not a prediction of what Glammr will recover. The CAPTURE Method helps determine which portion is commercially appropriate to pursue.
The First Distinction

Ghost Revenue Is Not the Same as Recoverable Revenue

The Ghost Revenue calculation measures gross appointment value attached to unused capacity. Before acting, every salon must work through a series of commercial filters. The headline number is the beginning of the analysis - not the recovery target.

Ghost Revenue™ — total unused appointment value Remove appointments likely to fill through normal channels Protect services with strong existing demand Apply contribution and operating thresholds Confirm sufficient notice window remains Assess whether qualifiedlocal consumer demand exists Recoverable Capacity

CAPTURE converts a large headline number into a smaller, commercially responsible opportunity.


The Framework

The Seven Steps of CAPTURE

The first three steps run before any appointment is made available on Glammr.

C
Calculate
Establish the gross appointment value currently reaching expiry. Your Ghost Revenue result is this baseline.
A
Assess
Identify which services, providers, days and times contribute most to unused capacity.
P
Protect
Define what stays off Glammr. Peak periods, strong-demand services and appointments likely to fill normally. This step runs before any recovery activity.
T
Time
Set when selected capacity becomes available. The release window is a commercial decision - not a default setting.
U
Unlock
Expose qualifying appointments to local short-notice consumer demand.

R
Recover
Convert expiring capacity into booked, contributing revenue.
GLAMMR HANDLES THIS
E
Evaluate
Measure listings, bookings, contribution and client behaviour. Review monthly. Adjust.

Protect First. Recover Second.

CAPTURE Does Not Mean Making Your Entire Calendar Available

The Protect step is where most of the commercial discipline lives. It runs before anything is listed on Glammr.

Always Protect
Peak periods and high-demand time slots
Services with strong existing demand
Current clients and repeat bookings
Appointments likely to fill through normal channels
Services where contribution at a lower price is insufficient
Capacity held intentionally for operational reasons
Consider for Recovery
Same-day and next-day cancellations
Recurring quiet periods consistently unfilled
Selected junior provider capacity
Appointments entering the defined recovery window
Services with suitable contribution and local demand
Capacity reasonably expected to remain unused
The purpose of CAPTURE is not to make every chair appear busy. It is to recover incremental value from capacity that would otherwise expire - without weakening the salon's normal business.

Making It Operational

What a CAPTURE Plan Specifies

A CAPTURE Plan converts the method into a set of operating rules your salon controls. Before listing a single appointment on Glammr, a first plan should address the following.

Which providers are participating
Which services are eligible for recovery listings
Which services and periods are always protected
Suitable days and times for recovery activity
The earliest release window before appointment expiry
Minimum acceptable price for any listed capacity
Maximum number of Glammr bookings per week or period
Cancellation handling and notification settings
What would prompt a change to the plan

A Practical Example

What CAPTURE Looks Like in Practice

A four-provider salon running five days per week with recurring midweek gaps and approximately three late cancellations per week.

Annual Ghost Revenue

-All Saturday appointments
-Senior colourist bookings
-Existing clients and regulars
-Any service below minimum contribution threshold
Recovery Candidates

What may be listed

-Midweek afternoon facials and blow-waves
-Same-day cancellations released immediately
-Recurring gaps released 24-48 hours in advance
-Junior provider capacity on qualifying services
30-Day Review

How Glammr Fits

CAPTURE Is the Method.
Glammr Is the Tool.

Your existing booking software continues to manage everything it manages today. Glammr provides an additional recovery channel for selected capacity approaching expiry - alongside your current system, not in place of it.

Your existing software continues to handle
Your full appointment calendar
Regular and recurring client bookings
Staff schedules and rosters
Client records and history
Normal salon operations
Salon identifies suitable capacity under its CAPTURE rules
Glammr exposes it to qualified local consumers
Consumer books through the Glammr app
Salon delivers the appointment
Result measured and reviewed monthly
Glammr does not decide what gets listed. Your CAPTURE rules do.

The Other Side of the Equation

Recovery Only Works When Relevant Demand Exists

An available appointment does not become recoverable simply because it has been listed. It requires a consumer who wants:

That specific service
In that location
At that time
Within the available notice period
At the offered price
Demand Liquidity
Glammr develops this pool of qualified short-notice demand through consumer marketing, content and local marketplace growth. CAPTURE identifies the supply-side opportunity. Glammr's consumer network provides the demand.

The Implementation Path

Start With a Controlled 30-Day CAPTURE Test

A structured test with a small number of services and a clear review point is the most effective way to evaluate whether Glammr makes commercial sense for your salon.

1
Review your Ghost Revenue result
Identify which service categories and time slots are driving the number.
2
Select a small number of services and providers
Start narrow. One or two service types, one or two providers. Genuinely recurring capacity that is unlikely to fill normally.
3
Establish your protection rules
Define what will not be listed. Write it down before you activate anything.
4
Activate your Glammr salon account
Create your profile, add services, configure pricing and release settings.
5
Release selected opportunities as they arise
Publish qualifying capacity as it enters the recovery window.
6
Review the result at 30 days
Bookings, revenue, new clients, impact on normal patterns. Adjust accordingly.

Before You Decide

Your Salon Remains in Control at Every Point

The most common question salons ask before joining Glammr is whether they retain control of their own calendar and pricing. The answer is straightforward.

You choose which services are listed
You choose which providers participate
You choose which appointment times are made available
You set the price for every listing
You define when capacity is released and for how long
You set the maximum number of Glammr bookings per period
You can pause or stop listings at any time
Your existing booking software remains in place and unchanged

Common Questions

Questions About CAPTURE

No. Ghost Revenue is the gross appointment value attached to unused capacity across your entire calendar. CAPTURE identifies only the portion that may be commercially and operationally appropriate to pursue. Most salons begin with a small subset of their total Ghost Revenue figure.

No. Protecting your peak periods and high-demand services is central to the method - it is the P in CAPTURE. If a slot is likely to fill through your existing channels, it stays off the platform.

No. Glammr operates alongside your existing system. Your calendar, client records, staff schedules and normal operations remain with your current booking platform. Glammr provides an additional channel for selected recovery capacity only.

Yes. Your CAPTURE Plan specifies every participating service, provider, eligible time slot and price point. Nothing is listed without your configuration. You can modify or remove any listing at any time.

A listing may remain unbooked. Glammr records the service, timing, location and price data to help build local demand over time. No booking is guaranteed - and a 30-day test gives you the clearest picture of what demand currently exists in your location.

No. It is the recommended approach. A defined test period with a clear review point gives you real data rather than assumptions - and makes the decision to continue, adjust or stop straightforward.

The Next Step

You Know the Size of the Opportunity. Now Decide What Is Worth Recovering.

Your Ghost Revenue result made the unused value visible. CAPTURE helps you protect what should remain untouched and build a controlled plan for the capacity genuinely approaching expiry.
