News Flash – Your Spa Menu Should Be #BASIC!
Spa Pros Know Way More Than Clients
In general, for the most part, a majority of the time (can you tell, I’m trying to cover my ass with disclaimers…. I feel like someone’s gonna come for me on this…) clients don’t understand most of the sophisticated treatments on our menus. We, the spa pros, know which treatments are which and what they do to a clients’ skin. But seriously, Mona, your 4:00 appointment who is a 1st time client, proably has no clue why she selected the treatment that she did when she booked online, in fact, she probably picked the most #basic sounding treatment because she was super apprehensive about the big words in the other treatments.
Let’s face it! If Mona hasn’t been to a spa for regular facials before – Mona’s never gonna pick anything with words abrasion or chemical peel in the description. All she can visualize is Samantha from Sex In The City. That daman scene made our jobs 1000 times harder!
#Basic Is Better
Keep your treatment menu #basic. Then create a list of add-ons that will dress up any treatment. Think little black dress, with Leopard Print Christian Louboutins! You never knew how much you wanted the #Redbottoms until the moment that you put them on with that black dress. Once you saw the whole outfit, it’s like it should have always been exactly that way, but before that moment in time – you never knew!
Let your add ons be those Louboutins! Make a list of add on treatments so fabulous, your clients will become so devoted that everytime they come back, they’ll be breathless with anticipation as to what trick you’ll have up your sleeve.
Fabulous Add Ons
Add ons are amazing! They can be almost anything. You can be super creative, you can pull out all of the stops, you can let the sky be the limit…(I think I’ve exhausted the slogans)… you get the idea. Just make sure they are inline wiht your spa philosophy on product style and treatment modalities. I’m not telling you to have a list of chemical peels at the ready if your spa isn’t interested in that philosophy. You can find a host of add ons that will meet your philosophy and that will “be the fabulous” you need to make the add on menu just sing!
We’ve been at countless spa trade shows and been chatting with hundreds of professionals and we have found some truly fabulous ideas for you to use as add ons or inspiration for add ons!
