Daily Deals is getting an upgrade. See Upcoming Changes to Daily Deals and Get Featured to learn more.

Daily Deals are a great way to advertise your business to new customers and help bring back customers who haven't come in for a while. Creating a Daily Deal is free, and Vagaro does not take any commission. Once announced and approved, the deal appears on the Vagaro Marketplace, your Vagaro Listing Page, and MySite, allowing for more visibility of your business.

Prerequisites: This feature requires your business to be listed on Vagaro.com.

Create Your Deal

Keep in mind that Vagaro reviews all Daily Deals submitted for quality assurance before they appear on the Vagaro marketplace, which means the Vagaro team will edit the text for clarity, grammar, and spelling when necessary. If the deal does not fit Vagaro's standards, it will be denied. Denied deals will still be shown on your Vagaro Listing Page and Email/Text marketing campaigns. Ensure that you've read our best practices before continuing.

When you announce a Daily Deal, an Email Marketing campaign will be automatically sent to your existing customers, using the email allowance from your monthly limit. By default, this feature is enabled, but you can turn it off by toggling off the Send as Email option. It's important to note that businesses on the small Email Marketing plan won't be able to send Daily Deal emails when they reach their limit.

Note

If you choose to send an email or text message with the Daily Deal, the message will be sent out as soon as you announce the campaign, even if you scheduled it for later.

    Vagaro needs to allow us to create Daily Deals for NEW CLIENTS.  As far as now, there isn't an option for this.

    Hi, Elise. When you create a Daily Deal, there is an option for the Daily Deal to be redeemable by new customers. Near the bottom of the screen, look for Discount will be redeemable by, and ensure that only New Customers is selected:

    I hope this helps!

  • I haven’t received any tax form from Vagaro

    We should have the option to customize the photo, either the selection Vagaro provides or to upload our own (without using Drive space)

    Hi Kristal, 

    You can choose from the images provided by Vagaro, but you won’t be able to upload your own.

    Thanks, Jamie
