How to Upsell Wigs and Increase Profit in January: The Smart Seller’s Guide 💰

20/01/2026
Many hair vendors make the mistake of thinking January is a "slow month." After the high-velocity spending of December, they expect a slump. However, at Havina Hair, we know the truth: January isn’t slow—it’s a smart selling season.

How to Upsell Wigs and Increase Profit in January: The Smart Seller’s Guide 💰

While holiday spending is often impulsive, January customers are more selective and quality-focused. They aren't just looking for "any" hair; they are looking for the right hair to start their year. If you master the art of upselling, your profit won't just stay steady—it will grow.

Upselling isn't about being pushy; it’s about helping your customers choose better quality so they can enjoy longer-lasting beauty. Here is your blueprint for maximizing revenue this month.

 


1. Offer Strategic Wig Bundles Over Single Items

The easiest way to increase your average order value (AOV) is to stop selling single units and start selling solutions. Instead of selling just one wig, offer a "New Year, New Me" Bundle.

Combine a premium wig with essential maintenance tools, such as a high-quality lace glue, a silk storage bag, or a specialized hair serum. Customers perceive higher value in a complete package, and it saves them the hassle of shopping elsewhere for accessories. This strategy moves more inventory in a single transaction and increases your bottom line instantly.

 


2. Master the "Upgrade" Suggestion

When a customer inquires about a standard 20-inch wig, don't just take the order. This is your prime opportunity to suggest an upgrade.

  • Longer Lengths: "For just a small difference, the 24-inch offers a much more dramatic, luxury look for your New Year events."
  • Premium Textures: If they are looking at basic hair, suggest Vietnamese Remy hair. Explain that while the initial cost is higher, the hair will last twice as long, saving them money in the long run.
  • Trending Colors: Suggest moving from natural black to a sophisticated "Natural Brown" or subtle "Piano Highlights" to stay ahead of the January style trends.

 


3. Focus on January Best-Sellers

Efficiency is key to profit. Don't waste your marketing energy on slow-moving styles. Focus your promotions on the textures that historically dominate January sales:

  • Bone Straight: The ultimate "boss lady" look for women returning to the office or starting new business ventures.
  • Deep Wave: Perfect for those who want a low-maintenance, high-volume look that lasts.
  • Natural Tones: After the bright colors of December, many women transition back to elegant, natural tones (1B, #2, and chocolate browns).

By stocking and pushing what is already in demand, you reduce the "time to sell" and increase your cash flow.

 


4. Use Social Proof to Justify Higher Value

In January, customers are more skeptical of "cheap" deals that failed them in December. They want durability. To upsell effectively, you must prove your value.

Stop using stock photos. Use real videos showing the bounce, the shine, and the thickness of your Havina Hair bundles. Share client feedback specifically mentioning how well the hair held up after multiple washes. When a customer sees visual proof of quality, the price becomes secondary to the value, making the upsell much easier to close.

 


5. Speed Wins: Maintain Ready Stock

In the world of wholesale hair, fast decisions win sales. A customer looking to upgrade her look in January usually wants it now. If you have to wait 10 days for a shipment, you lose the "impulse" of the upgrade.

Keep a consistent Ready Stock of your most popular lengths and textures. When you can tell a customer, "I can ship this 26-inch luxury Bone Straight wig to you today," you remove all barriers to the sale.
