In the current economic environment of the hair industry, it is no longer enough to rely on performance targets. Many hair franchise brands use revenue as internal management or performance evaluation criteria, such as membership cards and beauty treatment courses instead of revenue. Although some franchise brands not only to revenue as the goal, but to market share and the number of stores as the goal, but can from the business site from the profit degree to engage in target management is a small number of enterprises, so many franchise brands now also put forward the concept of quantity to quality, but at this stage most have not been implemented. Good management of revenue, can obtain sufficient profit, management method is relatively simple, the increase of revenue will be directly related to the increase of profit. However, most hairdressing franchises only need to maintain their performance targets, in an environment where most in-house companies have to switch from performance targets to profit targets.
