Digital marketing for salons and spas in Brigade Road, Bangalore is a race against the pavement. Somebody in town for the afternoon, a student, a shopper, a couple who came in from Whitefield, suddenly wants a trim, nail art or a foot massage, takes out a phone, and within minutes is walking towards whichever listing looked open, close and worth it. The salon that wins is rarely the biggest; it is the one that answered first.

KaamGPT runs every leg of that race, the Maps pin, paid search, Instagram and Facebook, the booking site, an app and WhatsApp, inside one managed digital marketing contract handled from Bengaluru, where our only office is. Ground rules common to any city salon are in our Bengaluru guide to salon marketing; this page sticks to one busy one-way strip of shops, cafés and pubs.

Why does digital marketing for salons and spas in Brigade Road, Bangalore take more than a good Instagram?

Noise. A beauty listing here competes in Maps not only with other salons but with dozens of restaurants, pubs and shops, and on Instagram with every fashion brand that tags the street. Many salons are upstairs or set back in arcades, invisible to the pavement. Clients are often one-time visitors who may not return for months. And the busiest season, December, is exactly when every business on the street fights loudest for attention. A capable salon and spa marketing agency in Brigade Road has to make a small business easy to see, quick to choose and worth coming back to.

  • Walk-in decisions are made in minutes on a phone, and an outdated listing loses them instantly.
  • Upstairs and arcade salons are hard to find even when the client is standing outside.
  • Many visitors come once; turning them into regulars needs a reason and a way to stay in touch.
  • December's party season and New Year's Eve bring a rush that needs booking weeks ahead.
  • Trend-led services like nail art and hair colour live or die by fresh Instagram content.

How does a salon on Brigade Road turn a one-time visitor into someone who comes back?

By asking for one small thing before they leave. Most visitors here are not neighbours; they came for shopping, a film at the mall or dinner on Church Street, and they may not pass this way again for weeks. At checkout the salon should earn a follow, a WhatsApp opt-in, a punch card or an app download, so the next visit is planned. Ads, listing and reels win the first visit; this makes it pay twice, and any salon and spa digital marketing agency in Brigade Road worth hiring should report on it.

Neighbouring streets fight for the same footfall in their own ways: compare our notes for salons and spas on MG Road, where clients book from office desks and hotel rooms, and for Commercial Street salons, where family shopping trips set the pace.

Show today's free slots by 2 pm

Post an Instagram story and a Maps update each afternoon listing the slots still open. Walk-in salon bookings rise when people can see there is room right now.

Ask for the opt-in at the mirror

The moment a client admires the result is the moment to offer a WhatsApp opt-in or a punch card. Train the team to ask then, not at the till.

Photograph every good set

Nail art, colour and fades sell themselves on Instagram. Photograph each strong result in the same corner with the same light, with the client's permission.

Open December bookings in November

Party season fills fast. Announce December slots to opted-in clients first, then to everyone, and keep the last booking time on 31 December visible.

Write directions for arcades and stairs

If the salon is upstairs or inside an arcade, describe the way in on Maps, on the website and in each booking message, with a photo of the doorway.

Keep a short weekday-morning offer

Mornings are quiet. A modest offer on weekday mornings, shown on Maps and to past clients, fills chairs without discounting the busy evenings.

What does each channel do for a salon on Brigade Road?

On a walk-in street, each channel has a stopwatch on it. Maps has to answer in seconds, Instagram has to have planted the idea days earlier, and the website has to confirm a slot before the client reaches the next corner. All eight are run by one team so the prices and opening hours never disagree.

Search ads switched on when the street fills

Campaigns for haircuts, fades, nail art, blow-dries and foot massage run hardest from mid-afternoon into the evening and all weekend, drawn as a tight circle around Brigade Road, Church Street and the metro exit. Each ad names the soonest opening and how many minutes away the salon is. We charge ₹4,999 a month to drive it; the per-click cost is between you and Google. More on Google Ads management.

Reels that plant the idea before the visit

Students and young professionals often save a nail design or a hair-colour reel days before they come into town. Instagram ads reach people who keep turning up in the central district, showing work straight off the chair, the street outside and the price. Party-look ads run through December. No caption hints that anyone's look needs fixing. KaamGPT bills ₹4,999 a month to run this, and Meta sells the reach to you separately; see Meta Ads management.

Pages for what people search on the way in

Visitors search by service and by street: nail art Brigade Road, men's fade near Church Street, foot spa near MG Road metro. We build a page for each, plus a December party-looks page and a first-visit page, written to rank and to persuade in the same paragraph. That is a ₹14,999 monthly SEO retainer; SEO services has the method.

Found in Maps among a hundred restaurants

A salon's listing here is surrounded by food and drink. We pick categories precisely, pin the real entrance even in an arcade or upstairs, add the cross street and metro exit to the description, and fix every directory entry so the address and hours match. For an upstairs or arcade salon this local SEO work starts at ₹4,999 per month.

A listing that says yes, open, now

Hours are kept exact every day, including late closings on Fridays and Saturdays and special December hours. Services carry prices and durations, the shutter and signboard are photographed from across the road, and new work goes up weekly so the listing looks alive. A lone listing costs nothing on our home-built Google Business Profile app; with several stylists posting, the salon moves on to a ₹999, ₹2,999 or ₹7,999 monthly workspace.

Google Business Profile in detail →

A grid that keeps up with the trend

Nail sets, colour work, fades and party looks are posted as they happen, with location tags for the street, and stories show the day's free slots. The calendar builds towards December. Our Social Media Automation app holds the queue at no cost on its opening plan, which keeps the grid moving on Saturdays when every pair of hands is on a client.

Social media in detail →

A site that confirms a slot in one screen

Visitors on the pavement will not scroll. The first screen lists today's open chairs, a short priced menu and the route from the metro, with a first-visit offer and a WhatsApp button just below. Gift cards for December sit one tap away. ₹9,999 is where such a salon site starts, and it is usually taking bookings about seven days in; see website development.

Websites in detail →

An app that turns a visitor into a regular

For the clients who do come back, an app gives them their stylist, their last nail design, a punch card and one-tap rebooking, and lets the salon announce December slots before they go public. It runs off the website's own diary, client list and checkout. Prices begin at ₹14,999, and a typical build is wrapped up inside ten days; see app development.

Which searches and audiences around Brigade Road are worth a salon's ad money?

Money follows footfall. The bulk of search spend goes into mid-afternoon to late evening and weekends, tightly targeted to people already in the central shopping district, because that is when a search turns into a walk-in. Mornings get almost nothing. From mid-November the mix shifts towards December party looks, gift cards and New Year's Eve bookings, then drops back in January.

Meta does a different job: it reaches students and young professionals across the city before they come into town, so the salon is already on their mind when they arrive. Use the rows below as a rough opening plan for a unisex salon that also runs a nail counter and a two-chair foot-massage corner.

Afternoon-to-late search, fenced to the street

Campaigns run from mid-afternoon to closing and through the weekend, limited to people within walking distance of Brigade Road, Church Street, Residency Road and the metro exit. Ads lead with the next free slot and minutes on foot. From mid-November, party-look and gift-card ad groups take a bigger share, then hand back in January. Searches for restaurants and shops are excluded so money stays on beauty.

Google Ads in detail →

Seed the idea across the city, collect it on the street

Reels go to students and young professionals across Bengaluru who regularly visit the central district, showing real nail sets, colour and fades with prices on screen. Retargeting reminds people who watched to book. December creative promotes party looks and early New Year's Eve slots. Captions talk about the look and the night out, never about a viewer's supposed flaw, and each ad finishes on a page where the slot can be taken.

Meta Ads in detail →

Open, close, priced and freshly photographed

The listing is updated daily for hours, weekly for photos, and seasonally for December specials. Categories are chosen so the salon is not buried under restaurants. The description and questions explain exactly where the door is, whether in an arcade or up a flight of stairs, and which metro exit is nearest. Reviews are answered within a day.

Google Business Profile in detail →

A feed tagged to the street

Organic posts carry the street's location tag and show the day's work as it happens: nail sets, colour, fades, party looks. Stories announce same-day free slots in the afternoon. Collaborations with local creators are tagged as paid partnerships where money or free services change hands. The calendar builds towards December, and posts are scheduled ahead so the busiest weekends never go quiet online.

Social media in detail →

Bringing one-time visitors back

At checkout, clients can choose to hear from the salon on WhatsApp. Those who agree get a message when December slots open, when their punch card nears a free visit, or when their usual nail refill is due. KaamGPT's WhatsApp Marketing app sends these over the Cloud API Meta itself runs, and a single reply switches them off.

Why do Brigade Road salons choose KaamGPT?

We built the tools you will use

Every screen your counter staff use, from listings and post queue to diary, till and client cards, was coded by KaamGPT, so walk-ins, online bookings and punch cards sit in one place.

One team for every channel

Maps, ads, Instagram, the site and the app share one owner on our side, which keeps prices and hours identical wherever a visitor checks.

Official WhatsApp only

Follow-ups reach opted-in clients alone, through the WhatsApp app we built on Meta's Cloud API; bulk senders have no place in it.

Copy in English, Kannada and Hindi

All three come as standard, written for each audience; more languages for tourists can be added on request.

Fees in writing, ad spend direct

Fees go on a sheet you sign first. Ad spend is charged to your card by Google and Meta, with KaamGPT nowhere in that chain.

One Bengaluru office, out on call

Our sole office is elsewhere in Bengaluru, not on Brigade Road. Day to day we talk by phone, video and WhatsApp, and turn up in person whenever a reel or photo shoot is booked.

What does marketing cost for a salon or spa on Brigade Road?

The cards show our catalogue fees; ads are a separate bill you settle with Google and Meta directly. On Brigade Road the budget is usually weighted heavily to afternoons, evenings and weekends, with a clear lift from mid-November to the New Year. What the signed quote finally says turns on the number of services pushed at once, the volume of Instagram content to shoot, any booking site or app, and the listing repair an upstairs or arcade spot needs.

Why do Brigade Road salon budgets swing so much through the year?

Because the street does. Footfall climbs through the week to a weekend peak and swells through December to New Year's Eve, then thins in January. A salon that spends evenly every day of the year wastes money on quiet mornings and runs out during the party season. Content is the other cost: trend services need a steady stream of fresh photos and reels, and someone has to make them.

  • How many trend services you promote at once.
  • How much photo and reel content is needed each week.
  • How big the December and New Year's Eve push should be.
  • Whether the salon is upstairs or in an arcade and needs listing work first.
  • Whether you want a booking website, an app, or both.
  • Whether you run creator collaborations alongside your own content.

How do we start with a Brigade Road salon?

Diagram of how KaamGPT runs salon and spa marketing for salons and spas in Brigade Road: Stand on the pavement; Map your week; Agree the plan in writing; Fix the listing, then go live; Review every month and after December
  1. Stand on the pavement

    We search for your services from the street, Church Street and the metro exit, and see what a visitor finds in the first minute.

  2. Map your week

    We look at when walk-ins arrive, which services sell and how many clients come back, to find the empty hours worth filling.

  3. Agree the plan in writing

    You get the channels, schedules, December plan, content needs and every fee on paper before work begins.

  4. Fix the listing, then go live

    Hours, pin, categories and photos are corrected first; the booking site and the first campaigns follow.

  5. Review every month and after December

    You see walk-ins, bookings, repeat visits and cost per booking by channel, plus a season review after New Year.

Who is on Brigade Road, and when do they want a salon?

Brigade Road carries one-way traffic south off MG Road, down towards the Hosur Road junction, and Church Street and Residency Road cut across it on the way. The metro station's Brigade Road exit leaves you a few minutes' stroll from the top of the street. Two old landmarks, St Patrick's Church and the memorial to the Madras Sappers, share the pavement with branded fashion floors, sneaker and bag shops, a bookshop or two, coffee bars, dining rooms and pubs.

The former Opera House is now a brand's showroom, and Garuda Mall sits just round the corner on Magrath Road. Most addresses are written as Ashok Nagar with the 560025 PIN, though a few at the MG Road end use 560001. The crowd turns over every few hours. Before eleven the shutters are half up. Midday adds office staff out for lunch, mid-afternoon brings college students, and evenings and weekends belong to young professionals, couples, families and day-trippers, many drifting on to Church Street, a 750-metre nightlife strip running to St Mark's Road. Parking is thin, so people arrive by metro or cab and choose their next stop on foot.

The street is also the city's best-known New Year's Eve gathering place, strung with lights across its width. Shops, cafés and restaurants here are covered on our Brigade Road digital marketing page; the notes below belong to the salons, barbers, nail bars and spas squeezed in between them.

What happens in the ten minutes between a search on the pavement and a walk-in?

Picture a student outside a shoe shop at 5 pm who decides her nails need doing before a friend's birthday. She types nail art and the street name into Maps, sees four listings, and opens two. One shows yesterday's photos, today's hours, prices and a note that the studio is up the stairs beside a café. The other shows a two-year-old picture and no hours. She walks to the first. That small comparison, repeated hundreds of times a week, decides who gets the walk-in salon bookings on this street.

So the work is mostly about freshness and certainty. Hours must be right today, including late Friday closings. Photos must be recent. Prices must be visible. The entrance must be described if it is not obvious. A WhatsApp button should answer within minutes. Ads help most when they push this already-strong listing higher at the hours when people are actually searching.

  • Update hours daily and set special hours for December weeks.
  • Post new work at least weekly so the listing looks alive.
  • Show prices and durations for the five most-searched services.
  • Describe arcade or upstairs entrances with a doorway photo.
  • Reply to WhatsApp enquiries within minutes during peak hours.

How should a Brigade Road salon plan December and New Year's Eve?

December is the street's loudest month. Office parties, Christmas services at St Patrick's Church, college fests and family visits build towards New Year's Eve, when Brigade Road is lit from end to end and becomes one of the city's main places to gather. Salons see a surge in blow-dries, party makeup, nail art and grooming, much of it booked at the last moment. The ones that do best start planning in November.

A sensible December plan opens bookings to opted-in clients in mid-November, launches party-look and gift-card campaigns around the start of December, and sells 31 December slots early, with a clearly stated last booking time. On the day itself, crowds and traffic arrangements can make the street hard to reach in the evening, so morning and early-afternoon slots should be promoted and booked clients warned to allow extra time. January then needs a gentle re-engagement push to bring December's first-timers back.

  • Mid-November: open December bookings to regulars and opted-in clients.
  • Early December: launch December party makeup, nail and gift-card campaigns.
  • Mid-December: sell New Year's Eve slots, earliest first.
  • 31 December: promote morning slots and remind clients about crowds.
  • January: invite December first-timers back with a return-visit reason.

Should a trend-led salon pay creators, or just post its own reels?

Both can work, but own content comes first. A nail studio or colour salon that posts strong, consistent work from its own chairs builds a feed that converts visitors on its own. Creator collaborations can then amplify that, especially with students and young professionals who follow local style and food accounts. The creator's audience should match the salon's: people who actually come into central Bengaluru.

There are rules to respect. Meta asks for paid partnerships to be labelled with its branded content tools, and India's advertising self-regulator, ASCI, expects influencers to disclose paid or gifted promotions clearly. A free service in exchange for a post counts. We set up collaborations so that the label is in place, the brief is honest, and the salon owns the right to reuse the content in its ads.

Can a nail or hair-colour transformation appear in a Meta ad?

Generally yes. The stricter handling Meta gives before-and-after pictures is aimed at cosmetic procedures, which may only be advertised that way to adults, and makeup or hair products sit outside even that age line. Everyday nail art or hair colour is usually shown simply as a result, without any special restriction, but the wider rules still apply: no wording that implies or attacks something about the viewer's appearance, and no promise of an unrealistic result by a certain date.

For a Brigade Road salon that means a reel can show the plain nails and the finished set, or the hair before and after colour, as long as the client has agreed and the caption is about the design and the occasion. "Bored of boring nails?" pointed at the viewer is the kind of line to avoid; "Chrome sets for Friday night, 60 minutes" is fine.

Does KaamGPT work with businesses around Brigade Road?

Yes. KaamGPT's client list has grown past 100+ companies across Bengaluru, and Brigade Road sits in the slice of the city we handle from our Bengaluru office, along with MG Road, Church Street and Richmond Town. A nail bar perched above a shoe shop here is looked after by the identical crew, apps and paper quote that any business elsewhere receives.

Frequently asked questions

28 answers
What would KaamGPT do first for a walk-in salon on Brigade Road?

Make the listing win the pavement decision: exact hours for today, fresh photos, visible prices for the five most-searched services, and a clear description of the door if it is upstairs or inside an arcade. Only then do ads and reels start, because every rupee works harder once the listing converts the people it reaches.

Our nail bar is up a staircase between two shops. How do visitors find us?

Through words and pictures. Put the staircase and the shops either side into the Maps description, pin the actual doorway, and add a picture of the stairwell as a passer-by would see it. Copy those directions onto the site and into each WhatsApp confirmation. A visitor who can picture the door walks in; one who cannot keeps walking.

When should a Brigade Road salon start advertising for December party bookings?

Mid-November for regulars and opted-in clients, early December for everyone else. Office parties, college events and New Year's Eve fill the calendar quickly, and many people book a blow-dry, party makeup or nail art days rather than weeks ahead. Starting early lets you sell the best slots first and avoid turning people away in the final week.

Is it smart to open on New Year's Eve when the street is packed?

Often yes, but plan the hours. Demand for hair, makeup and nails peaks earlier in the day, while the evening crowd can make the street hard to reach. Many salons do best by selling morning and afternoon slots early, publishing a clear last booking time, and warning booked clients to allow extra travel time.

Do Instagram reels actually bring walk-ins to a nail art studio?

They do, but indirectly. People save designs days before they come into town, then search for the studio when they are nearby. Reels build the memory; Maps and search capture the visit. Post real sets from your own chairs regularly, tag the street, and make sure the listing and booking link are easy to reach from the profile.

Should our salon pay local creators to post about us?

It can help once your own feed is strong. Choose creators whose followers actually come into central Bengaluru, agree an honest brief, and make sure every paid or gifted post carries a paid partnership label, as Meta's branded content rules and ASCI's influencer guidelines expect. Agree in writing that you can reuse the content in your own ads.

Can we show a hair colour before-and-after in a Facebook ad?

Usually yes. Meta's adult-audience condition on before-and-after pictures targets cosmetic procedures, and lets makeup and hair products off even that. What gets rejected is a caption that pokes at the viewer's looks, or a promise that the change happens by some deadline. Get the client's consent first, and talk about the shade and the plan for Saturday night, not about how she looked earlier.

How do we stop our salon disappearing among restaurants on Google Maps?

Choose your primary category carefully, add secondary categories for your main services, fill the services list with prices, and post new photos weekly. Reviews that mention specific services help too. Ads on Maps can lift you above the noise at peak hours, but a complete, active listing is what makes those ads convert.

What is the best time of day to run Google Ads for a Brigade Road salon?

From mid-afternoon into the evening on weekdays, and most of the day at weekends, when the street is full and searches turn into walk-ins quickly. Mornings are usually a poor use of money except for a small weekday-morning offer. We check search-term and booking data each week and shift hours to where bookings really come from.

What sort of ad budget suits a small salon on Brigade Road?

That figure is the owner's call, settled directly with Google and Meta. To sketch one shape only: a thin, steady daily amount during peak afternoon and evening hours most of the year, and a sharper three-to-six-week burst between mid-November and New Year. We set that rhythm with you and retune it monthly against walk-ins counted at the till.

Which beauty services sell best to shoppers walking past?

Short, visible, same-day services: threading, nail art and refills, blow-dries, beard line-ups, fades and foot massage. Each should have a fixed price and duration on the listing and website. Longer services like colour or a full spa session are better sold through Instagram and booked in advance.

Can a barbershop here really get busier on Friday nights through ads?

Yes, if the ads match the moment. Young men heading to Church Street on a Friday want a sharp fade or beard line-up quickly. Search and Instagram ads from mid-afternoon to early evening, showing the next free slot and the walk in minutes, catch that intent. Keep the chair free for those slots and do not overbook.

Are gift cards worth promoting for a salon in December?

Usually, yes. December is gift season, and a salon gift card sold online and emailed instantly is easy to buy at the last minute. Promote it on the website, in Google search for gift-related terms, and to past clients who opted in on WhatsApp. Gift cards also bring new clients in January, when the street is quieter.

Do you build websites that let a passer-by book a salon slot in under a minute?

Yes. The first screen shows today's open chairs, a short priced menu and the route from the metro's Brigade Road exit, with WhatsApp and a first-visit offer just beneath. There is no long scroll and no unnecessary page. Expect ₹9,999 as the starting cost, with bookings flowing through it about a week after we begin.

At what stage does a Brigade Road salon outgrow a website and want an app?

When enough clients come back regularly to make loyalty features worthwhile: punch cards, saved stylists and nail designs, and early access to December slots. If one-off shoppers fill most of the chairs, a quick site, a strong listing and WhatsApp follow-ups are the better buy. We will tell you which honestly.

How can we bring back clients who visited once while shopping?

Ask at the mirror, when they are pleased with the result, whether they would like a WhatsApp message when their refill is due or December slots open. Offer a punch card or app download too. Then send genuinely useful, infrequent messages through the official WhatsApp app so they come back on purpose rather than by chance.

Can we blast a WhatsApp offer to every client we have ever served?

No. Only clients who ticked yes can be messaged, and the sending is done by our own WhatsApp app sitting on Meta's Cloud API, not a bulk tool. Keep each note short, relevant and occasional, sign it with the salon's name, and let anyone drop out by replying.

Do spa and massage rooms on Brigade Road face extra ad checks?

Massage and spa ads are reviewed carefully on both Google and Meta. Keep descriptions professional and specific, show real rooms and staff, avoid suggestive words or images, list prices and durations, and make the landing page match the ad. Avoid any health claims. Clear, plain ads get approved and attract genuine bookings.

From opening day, how long before Maps sends walk-ins to a new Brigade Road salon?

A full, accurate listing typically begins surfacing in nearby results after a few weeks, while Maps ads can pull in enquiries on their very first afternoon. Reviews take time, so begin asking satisfied clients from the first week. Fresh photos and accurate hours from day one make a big difference on such a busy street.

What will our monthly report show for a Brigade Road salon?

Walk-ins and bookings by channel and by hour, which services sold, repeat-visit rates, how many clients opted in to WhatsApp or downloaded the app, and the ad cost of each booking. After December you also get a season review comparing the party push with the rest of the year.

Can students be targeted without turning the salon into a discount shop?

Yes. Instead of deep discounts, offer a student punch card, a weekday-afternoon slot price, or a free add-on on the fifth visit. That rewards loyalty rather than one-time bargain hunting. Instagram ads can reach students who visit central Bengaluru with real work and clear prices.

Will AI assistants recommend our Brigade Road salon to someone visiting the city?

They lean on listings, reviews, websites and directories, so a full and consistent presence gives your salon a fair chance of being described correctly. Specific service pages, the right address and reviews arriving month after month all help. Whether an assistant picks you is out of anyone's control, but what wins Maps tends to help there too.

Do you also handle salon marketing on MG Road and Commercial Street?

Yes. <a href="/salon-and-spa-digital-marketing-agency-in-mg-road-bangalore">MG Road salons and spas</a> rely more on office and traveller bookings, while <a href="/salon-and-spa-marketing-agency-in-commercial-street-bangalore">Commercial Street salons</a> follow family shopping trips. Many central salons draw from all three streets, so a plan often covers the whole district.

How do we photograph nail sets and colour work well enough for ads?

Pick one corner with steady daylight or a good lamp, a plain background and the same angle each time. Shoot close-ups and a short clip of each strong result, with the client's permission. We give your team a simple guide and arrange a proper shoot before December, so ads always use your real work.

Who at KaamGPT should a salon owner contact?

Whoever owns or manages the salon. Dial +91 79767 82366, or drop a WhatsApp there, mentioning the shop, its end of Brigade Road, the menu, and when chairs are fullest and emptiest; after a brief conversation we post you a written plan with costs.

Can a brow and lash bar near the metro live mostly on repeat clients?

Yes, if it makes rebooking effortless. Brow and lash services return every few weeks, so WhatsApp reminders for opted-in clients, online booking and a loyalty card do much of the work. Maps catches new clients; the rest of the plan keeps them.

Would a two-chair Brigade Road salon be wiser to skip the managed plan at first?

Quite possibly. A two-chair shop may get further by first fixing local SEO, using our free listing app and running a small Google Ads budget. The ₹19,999 monthly managed plan pays off when walk-in search, Instagram, the December run and WhatsApp all go at once. Where a lighter start suits you better, we will recommend exactly that.

Is marketing a salon on a shopping street really unlike marketing one in a residential layout?

Very. A layout salon relies on neighbours and steady regulars; a Brigade Road salon relies on visitors deciding on the spot. So digital marketing for salons and spas in Brigade Road puts more weight on Maps freshness, peak-hour ads, Instagram for trend services and converting first-timers into regulars, and less on community and festival calendars.
