Spa marketing that fills the treatment rooms

Gift cards sell in December and get booked in January, so good spa marketing plans for both months.

How we'd work for spas

Spa marketing, from gift card to the steam room

Website

The gift card button sits beside booking, because many first visits start as someone else's present.

Business systems

Gift cards are tracked from sale to redemption, so a leftover balance becomes a reason to come back.

Questions

What spas ask us

How should a spa sell gift cards online?

On your own site, sent by email or printed, for an amount or a named package. Then track each card until it is used.

Is online booking right for every spa treatment?

For many of them. Treatments that need a consult or an intake form first can be requested online and confirmed by the front desk.

How can a spa fill weekday openings?

With a weekday package priced for it, posted on Google and sent to past guests who live nearby.
