Love is definitely in the air with Valentine’s Day just a few days away. You can show your clients the love with a promotional gift. Consider bundling a select retail item with one of your special Valentine’s Day spa menu treatments for him, her, or couples. Also, for long-standing clients, offer a discount on services booked during Valentine’s Day and for a period of time after.
If you have a loyalty program, make the day extra special by offering double rewards for select services or retail items. Sweeten the pot to purchase a gift certificate with a discount on a retail product or service as part of the deal. You’ll want to set a minimum purchase amount for the gift certificate to make the offer worthwhile for your spa or massage practice.
When it comes to gift giving, also make sure you have plenty of retail items on hand for your clients to purchase for the special people in their life. Use signage to showcase retail items or services that serve as a perfect way for someone to say “I care.” Have enough staff on hand to help clients choose just the right gift, whoever the recipient is – wife, husband, mom or dad, friend or coworker. Here are two favorite treatments for Valentine’s Day to add to your menu:
