In other words, when your customers recommend you to others. But it gets even better: if your customers are so impressed by you that they give their friends a tattoo\/piercing from you in the form of a voucher.  <\/p>\n<p>Vouchers therefore combine several interesting marketing instruments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Customer recruits customer<\/strong><br \/>\nGiving gift vouchers has an even stronger effect than a mere recommendation. This is because the giver is already paying for the service of which they are convinced. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Customer loyalty<\/strong><br \/>\nBy giving away the voucher, you have a clear advantage over all other competitors when it comes to the recipient. The customer is therefore already loyal to you even before they have visited you. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Teaser for more (repeat sales)<\/strong><br \/>\nThe following applies to tattoos at least: vouchers do not usually cover the full price of the desired tattoo. What&#8217;s more, over 50% of customers are repeat customers. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, tattoo and piercing vouchers are still something special and not just any voucher. You should take the following things into account: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Voucher design<\/strong><br \/>\nYour vouchers should look good and make a connection to you right from the first impression (CI\/CD: color, logo, lettering, slogan, &#8230;). A complete package is always a nice idea:<br \/>\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1058 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/kisscal.tattoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Gutscheinpaket.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"708\" height=\"495\" title=\"\"><br \/>\n<em>Example kindly provided by Ela Berger Tattoo (FL)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Availability<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is more annoying when you make the effort to come by to buy a voucher and then no one is there (closed) or no one is available (counter not manned). Online vouchers are certainly a good addition here. They can also be bought conveniently from home and even at the last minute. (integrated in kisscal, of course)   <\/li>\n<li><strong>Terms and conditions<\/strong><br \/>\nYou should clearly indicate any conditions when selling your vouchers: How long are they valid for? Will they be paid out on request or not? (see our <a href=\"https:\/\/kisscal.tattoo\/sorglospaket\/\">carefree package contracts<\/a>)  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Extra income<\/h2>\n<p>You can easily sell vouchers worth around \u20ac5,000 per workplace\/artist per year. We recommend that you build up reserves for the vouchers that are not redeemed, i.e. keep the money in your studio account. <\/p>\n<p>In addition, experience shows that around 10-15% of vouchers are not redeemed, which represents a nice additional income.<\/p>\n<h2>Tax &amp; Law<\/h2>\n<p>Since 2019, tattoo artists and piercers have had to treat vouchers as single-value vouchers for which VAT is already due on sale (see our info letter &#8220;Vouchers and advance payments without VAT&#8221;). Previously, vouchers were only subject to VAT when they were redeemed. <\/p>\n<p>If you draw up a balance sheet for your studio, the reserves can be deducted from the income so that the income tax is only actually incurred when the vouchers are redeemed.<\/p>\n<p>Vouchers are generally valid for 3 years from the end of the year of issue. You can of course specify a longer validity period for your vouchers. A shorter validity period is only possible for promotional vouchers. After the 3 years, the vouchers may have to be removed from your balance sheet.   <\/p>\n<h2>Promotional vouchers<\/h2>\n<p>Promotional vouchers are a special feature, which are issued at a discount, e.g. in competitions or as part of promotions.
