Q1. What was your original problem?
Hi everyone, I run a small nail and lash salon. Today, instead of my usual posts, I want to share my salon's story in a self-interview format. I set up a KakaoTalk channel to communicate with customers about bookings, but hardly anyone was actually checking my event announcements. It got to the point where I wondered why I'd even bothered making the channel.
Other salon owners I know were dealing with the same thing. They'd set up a channel, but with no members, nobody saw the announcements, and they'd end up falling back on text messages or Instagram. So this time, I got serious about growing my KakaoTalk member count.

Q2. So what solutions did you look into?
My first thought was to ask friends and acquaintances one by one to add my channel, but that approach clearly had limits. I only know so many people, and it felt awkward to keep asking. Then another salon owner introduced me to a site called SocialUp.
At first I was skeptical. Whenever I'd looked into SNS marketing services before, most of them felt complicated and confusing. But SocialUp had a simple layout that let me place orders myself. Sign up, find the service you want, place the order, and that's it.
Browsing around, the KakaoTalk channel friend adds service caught my eye, and it looked like a lot of people dealing with the same empty-channel problem as me were using it. There were also options like KakaoTalk open chat likes and KakaoTalk open chat ghost members, which seemed useful for anyone running an open chat room too.
How to Order (Seriously Simple)
1 Go to SocialUp (socialup.kr) and complete a quick sign-up
2 Choose the service you want (everything KakaoTalk-related is grouped in one category)
3 Enter your open chat/channel link and select a quantity
4 Pay, and you're done! Everything after that runs automatically
It's a completely self-serve ordering system with no need to wait around for consultation, so even an order placed at 3am gets handled automatically.
Q3. What did you notice once you actually tried it?
What worried me most was processing speed. I'd used a similar service elsewhere before and waited days without any update, which was frustrating. But when I ordered KakaoTalk member growth through SocialUp, I could see the work start that same day. I kept an eye on my channel after ordering, and I could watch the member count fill in little by little.
What mattered more was what happened afterward. It wasn't just numbers being padded — on top of that foundation, a bit of natural, organic traffic kept trickling in over time. Once the channel had a decent member base, customers who came across it seemed more willing to give it a second look, and that effect seemed to build naturally as time went on.
Along with the KakaoTalk member growth service, I also wanted more attention on an event post I'd put up in the channel, so I tried KakaoTalk channel post likes as well. I could definitely feel the post getting noticeably more engagement than before.

5 Handy Management Tips Worth Knowing
1. Keep your room description to 3 lines or less, and make it clear what kind of information the room offers
2. Put your search keywords at the front of the room title (e.g., "Investing | Stock Info Room")
3. For channels, 1-2 messages a week is about right — send too often and you'll get blocked
4. Pinning your announcement message noticeably cuts down on new-member drop-off
5. Posting content during peak hours (lunch and evening) doubles engagement
Handle the initial setup with SocialUp, then run it with the tips above, and your growth rate will be completely different.
Q4. Did you try any other services too?
Yes. Running a salon means I'm not just managing one booking channel — I'm also handling short promotional videos and event products. These days, a lot of businesses promote by posting short-form clips of the treatment process, so I figured I'd need KakaoTalk short-form likes and KakaoTalk short-form comments too, and looked into those as well.
Also, during holidays or seasonal events, I sell treatment vouchers through Gift Shop or TalkDeal, and since those listings need engagement to actually convert into sales, I checked out the KakaoTalk Gift Shop product likes and KakaoTalk TalkDeal product likes options as well. Being able to pick and order everything I need myself from one single site was a real time-saver for me.
For anyone trying it for the first time, there's also a KakaoTalk free member add option, which I think is a low-pressure way to test the waters if you want to try it out first.

Q5. Any closing thoughts?
I want to be careful about claiming guaranteed results, but at the very least, more customers are checking my channel than before, and I can feel the difference in response whenever I post an event announcement. Booking inquiries have also picked up more naturally than they used to, so I'd cautiously recommend this to any salon owners out there struggling with channel management the way I was.
What I appreciated most was being able to pick exactly what I needed and order it myself without any complicated process, and seeing the work reflected the very same day I ordered. After that, it was genuinely satisfying to watch the channel keep growing naturally on top of that foundation.
If you're dealing with the same headache I was around growing your KakaoTalk member count, I think taking a look at SocialUp could be a good move. This experience took a real weight off my shoulders when it comes to managing my channel. That's it for today's review. Thanks for reading.
