Booksy’s 2022 UK City Takeover Tour Hailed a Huge Success

Hair and beauty booking app Booksy has deemed its UK city-by-city takeover tour a huge success after closing out the year with a free game-changing event in Sheffield, providing salon owners, beauticians, barbers, and nail bars from all over the UK with the tools to better their business.

Sheffield was the final stop of Booksy’s city takeover campaign, with visits to Liverpool, Birmingham, and Bristol taking place earlier in the year and receiving exceptional feedback.

From special nights of inspiration, education, and entertainment designed to help salon owners maximise their business, to Team Booksy taking to the streets to talk to the public, the takeover campaign has given the brand a unique insight into its customers’ needs.

Vishal Khakhar, Booksy’s Head of Marketing, said: “We set out at the start of 2022 to make an impact, and the city takeovers have certainly delivered.

“Getting the team on the road, meeting our fantastic merchants, connecting with new businesses, and having the chance to really understand our customers has been extremely valuable to us and will help us to shape the future of Booksy.

“We have also had a chance to meet with members of the public and show them how beneficial using Booksy is to their day-to-day lives, as well as connect and bond as ‘Team Booksy’ which has made the business and its people stronger and more motivated than ever.

“We want to say a huge thank you to our Ambassadors – guests to our business events have been blown away by their passion, knowledge, and expertise and we couldn’t have done it without them.”
