I hope many people will be saying happy Mother's Day to their moms with a massage or skincare treatment so that the appointment books for spas and salons are filled for the upcoming weekend. (Even with just a few days away, there's still time to advertise Mother's Day gift certificates for last-minute shoppers).
I expect many moms already are sold on the healthful, relaxing and beautifying benefits of these treatments. But for some moms, this could be their first massage or wrap or facial. This gives you an opportunity to market yourself for repeat business. I expect that shouldn't be difficult once you take mom into your capable hands. With repeat business in mind, you want to make mom's experience complete with some extras during her special Mother's Day Treat.
Here are some ideas I've heard from some of our customers.
- Have lots of flowers around or give mom a rose and a small box of chocolates.
- Serve complimentary refreshments - a coffee bar and pastries - would be a nice touch and easy to arrange.
- A lunch buffet is another option. Maybe you could partner with a local catering company looking for opportunity to promote its services to potential new customers.
You also might want to extend the service with a special foot massage as your personal gift to mom.

You could ask moms to put their names in a fish bowl and draw a few winners for a free massage or treatment. Also consider giving a gift of a small retail item as a reminder the heavenly day they had.
