Turn Forms into Upsells: subtle prompts that convert

You’re mixing tint when a client says, “I didn’t know you do brow lamination—next time!”
That sentence is money walking out the door.

Use Glow Forms to make upsells feel like client care—because they are. No pushy scripts. Just smart moments inside forms.

Where the upsell actually fits

1) Before the visit (confirmation link) – choices, not pitches
In the intake or service consent, add a short “Enhance your service?” block:

• A couple of add-ons with plain benefits: Hydrating mask (calms post-peel), Brow tint (defines shape).

• Defaults off, copy gentle: Optional. Adds ~10 minutes.

Clients decide at home and prep accordingly.

2) At check-in (QR backup) – tiny nudge
If they didn’t prefill, your counter QR opens the same form with the same add-ons. Keep the choices above the fold and one line each. They’re already saying yes to the appointment—make the rest easy.

3) Mid-service (treatment note) – the “based on what I see” offer
Add a quick checkbox set in your treatment note labeled Professional recommendations. Examples:

• Add sensitive-skin mask today

• Switch to sensitive adhesive

• Book brow tidy with next fill

You’re documenting care. If they accept, it’s already in the note.

4) Aftercare (on submit) – one small bundle
Right they read the aftercare, show a single, relevant product or bundle with a “Add to pick-up” toggle. Not a store. One choice.
Example: Post-peel kit (cleanser + SPF) — picked up at checkout.

Copy that doesn’t feel salesy

• “Optional upgrade” instead of “Add-on!”

• “Helps with…” not ingredient babble.

• “Adds ~10 minutes” sets clear expectations.

• “We’ll only recommend what fits today” lowers defenses.

The tiny structure that makes it work

• Three options max in any view. Crowds = paralysis.

• Price visible next to each option. No surprises.

• One action color for “Add” so the choice is obvious.

A tiny Tuesday story

We added two lines to the consent for brow lamination:
Brow tint (+10 min) — defines shape and Nourishing mask (+10 min) — calms skin.
No fanfare. Week one, 31% ticked at least one. Staff stopped “mentioning it at the desk” because the form did the warm-up.

Set it up in 15 minutes (Glow Forms)

1. Open your forms and add an Enhancements section (checkboxes, price, 1-line benefit).

2. In aftercare, add a single Product/BRO bundle toggle with “Add to pick-up.”

3. Put the same form link in confirmations/reminders; print one QR for the counter.

4. Train one sentence: “You’ll see optional upgrades in the form—choose anything that fits today.”

What to avoid (I’ve seen this go sideways)

• A full store inside the form. One choice wins; aisles lose.

• Discounts that read like coupons. Lead with outcomes, not codes.

• Hidden time. If it adds minutes, say so.

• Asking again after “no.” Respect the tap.

Quick checklist (pin this)

• Enhancements in consent (≤3) with price + benefit

• One aftercare bundle toggle on submit

• Same link in reminders; QR at desk

Upsells feel gross when they’re pressure. They feel great when they’re care. Put the choices where clients already give answers—and let branded forms do the gentle asking.
