Adding Services for Increased Spa Traffic

Increasing revenue and traffic for spas and MedSpas can be done several ways. One, open new locations, increase marketing efforts, or adding new services or products.

For many spas, opening new stores or locations may be part of a long-range growth plan, yet may not be suitable while operating in a down economy when spa treatments are viewed as either a luxury or discretionary.

Marketing efforts can be categorized as advertising or direct sales. Advertising can come in many forms. Direct mail, email campaigns, joint marketin efforts with related products or services, TV or radio. Many spas I have seen are flying banners outside their locations (local laws permitting), putting up billboards, and putting advertisements or discount inserts in papers, local news, press releases, or handing out discount or “specials” to customers and guests coming through the spa.

Increasing marketing efforts or expanding services is your best ROI when the economy has slowed. Massage Therapy, Botox or anti-wrinkle procedures, facials, and vein therapy can be supplemented with several ideas.

Another opportunity is making available additional services or products inside the store.

Selling in-expensive consumable products can help boost sales, improve traffic, and get consumers coming back. Spider vein creams can be excellent ancillary products following sclerotherapy or laser therapy. For pregnant women or those who have had children, a preventive or repairing stretch mark cream can help aid recovery and prevent scarring. And while injections can help smooth wrinkles and puff lips, anti wrinkle creams and serums help neck wrinkles, crow’s feet, and puffiness or dark circles under the eyes.

These products are designed to supplement and enhance procedures and improve weekly or monthly revenue. Choosing products that are expensive with luxurious packaging and “rock star” name brands may work against you. While they may certainly enhance the image of your spa (and to many that is important), high-priced skin care products have been shown to be great initial purchases, but lack the consumable “punch” needed for return purchases.Increasing revenue and traffic for spas and MedSpas can be done several ways.

Obagi Clear - Product Review

If you’re looking for a skincare product that not only moisturizes your skin but can also clear excessive skin freckling and sun spots, then you can do a lot worse than use Obagi Nu-Derm Clear.

Whether you want to use it as a standalone cleanser or alongside a whole plethora of other — particularly soaps and

Obagi Clear

moisturizers — this product proves to be quite the effective cleanser either way. The bottom line is that as a regular maintenance skin rejuvenator, Obagi Clear is more than enough to suit your needs for whitening and lightening skin on the hands as well as clearing and fading age spots, dark spots and liver spots that naturally come with aging.

In just three weeks of regular application, you should be able to attain dramatic results. Granted, the efficacy of a product’s skin rejuvenation prowess tends to come in a case-to-case basis, but there has been quite a lot of positive customer feedback in regards to it’s dermatological ability.

Moreover, it’s gentle on your skin, so you won’t have to worry about developing side effects like skin sensitivity and rashes whenever you use this cleanser.

It’s reportedly even more successful in removing blemishes and acne than many other creams, concealers, retinol-based products, and topical agents. It’s not exactly a miracle worker, but at the very least Obagi Clear does work well enough when it comes to clearing dermal imperfections. The only real question here is how severe must a skin condition be before it can be rendered ineffective.

At any rate, did you know that the product can also be used to help deal with hyperpigmentation breakouts severe enough to need microdermabrations? Yes, it can. In the same way it helps freckles slowly “fade” away, an everyday regimen (alongside products like Retin-A) should do the same to hyperpigmentation problems.

Of course, realistically speaking, for a condition as extreme as hyperpigmentation, it’ll take quite a bit of time before Obagi Clear can work its magic. Nevertheless, the results tend to speak for themselves. In just one week, you’ll notice that the small age spots on your skin have disappeared, while the bigger, more visible ones tend to gradually fade over time.

No wonder even facialists and dermatologists recommend this product to their patients! By a few more weeks, months, or so (depending on the severity of your condition), your hyperpigmentation problem (or any other related, non-surgical skin condition) should dissipate altogether. Furthermore, it’s a lot less expensive and skin damaging than going through a microdermabrasion procedure.

All-in-all, Obagi Clear is a must-buy skin product that only has its long and frequent treatment periods as its only drawbacks. It gets 9.1 out of 10 stars.If you’re looking for a skincare product that not only moisturizes your skin but can... more
