Recently we received an email in response to the blog post If you must, tips for selling on Groupon, from Lynn Schulman of Elixir Organic Spa:

Using an intelligent discounting strategy Lynn was able to develop an advantageous group deal for her spa. Here are the three key discount strategies that turned the deal around for her spa.

Know your goal and reasons for participating

The desire to attract new clients and increase revenue was her main goals through the group deal "…I was prepared to walk away from the negotiations of the deal if they couldn't work with my pre-determined requirements…."

Margins set the standard

She based her deal on what she would require to achieve her desired profit margin after covering all of her expenses. This provided "…the advantage of a correctly aimed price point at potential new clients rather than only deal seekers…."

Upsell and Rebooking

The deal she created was never in direct competition with her existing service menu, so the therapists and staff were able to easily up-sell at the product level and rebook for services on the existing menu based on the experience received during the discounted service appointment.

If you are considering rolling a group deal — consider this: BoomTime Deals (available w/your SpaBoom Online Marketing Suite) offer you control, preferential new client targets, and the best part of the deal — you pay under 5% commission.

Groupon has been wildly successful, which is a good thing. For Groupon. For small businesses, it is a horrible deal. They take 50% of an already discounted deal while degrading any chance at client loyalty. Join us as we show you how to Roll Your Own Groupon and discuss the five steps to intelligent discounting. Learn how to increase profits, bring in new business and maintain your local brand value.

Recently, I found myself engaged in an email discussion with a friend on why I hate Groupon, and ultimately, it came down to this:

As a consumer I appreciate a great deal, but Groupon and sites like them create an economy that drives down the local service market value (without providing any option for recovery) already struggling to compete with big corporations that have a lot more money with which to compete. I would never have given this a second thought if I had not personally witnessed the strain it puts on the small independent spa and restaurant businesses.

Undoubtedly, in the last several years, you have read or heard our opinions on the dangers of discounting for small businesses, and more specifically what we think of Groupon and their outrageous 50% commission with only 22% repeat business.

So, if you want to use discounting to drive more business to your spa in this tough economy, what's the right way to do it? Consider the following strategic guidelines to find the most efficient discounting practice for your business:

• Create a discount program that will deliver a brand value for potential clients, and a high ROI for the spa/salon.
• Avoid directly competing with your existing service offers.
• Build an offer with a higher margin from which to discount by adding product, or non-staff required services.

• Engage your entire staff in the promotion.
• Front desk staff should offer details and engage existing clients to participate in spreading the word.
• Encourage therapists and estheticians to work within the promotion cost to facilitate awareness and gain new business to benefit the entire organization.

• Promote a group deal that encourages viral growth.
• Use existing clients to go viral and bring in like-minded individuals.
• Extend your community relationship reach.
• Run the deal yourself, or use niche, local deal sites. Don't give 50% of your revenue away.

• Focus on return client visits.
• The goal is to build your client base and create a relationship, not devalue your brand by catering to deal seekers or nomad buyers.
• Create a deal that rewards subsequent appointments booked.

• Know where your control panel is when working through your discount promotions.
• Be aware of your spa/salon's resource limits.
• Customer Service must be fully engaged to make the most of this marketing effort.

The goal of intelligent discounting is to create engagement, build relationships and provide a branded, value-driven niche for your spa/salon. When used wisely, it can be an effective tool to deliver exposure and create new, lasting relationships without devaluing your current client base or local brand.

Posted in Creating Customers, General, Social Media, Spa Gift Certificates, Spa Marketing, Spa Product Sales • 2 Comments »

Everyone, including your clients, is involved in monetizing social media for your business. A big picture look can reveal the path to increasing revenue via social media, but it takes microscopic analysis of each interaction with intent to truly take advantage of the revenue potential.

Spas listen and engage with their clients every day. That intimate one-on-one experience, where the client is center means servicing them based on their individual needs in a given moment. Great relationships are built on conversations, which creates the possibility for amazing connections long-term. Understanding the value of these connections and managing the relationships can take on added strength when extend online using social media. Every interaction that occurs with clients fits along a social continuum and if they are managed with intent, they can be monetized to increase revenue and strengthen your spa brand.

For instance, your website is an extension of your spa or salon and reflects the unique differences that set you apart from the competition. It is a place to engage, connect and hopefully make your clients lives easier by allowing them to book appointments online, learn about the latest treatments and in-spa promotional offers and to purchase an Instant Gift Certificate for someone special.

Giving clients easy access to Facebook and Twitter from your website allows them to be part of your community and creates the opportunity for social referrals. Events and in-spa promotions that are disseminated via social media have the possibility of traveling to new social networks. This creates the opportunity for new clients, increased revenue and widening connections.

Take a look at the social piece of your spa business. Each component, from the front desk, therapist and product purchases to your spa website, email campaigns, events and social outreach on Facebook and Twitter plays a part in monetizing social for your spa.

Building integrated, comprehensive websites for spas is a cornerstone of SpaBoom's business. Without fail, successful spas consistently use their websites to communicate their point of difference, why they stand out in the marketplace. These spas understand that having the best facility, employees and customer service philosophy isn’t enough; they must clearly communicate why they do things differently and why that is important.

In Corbett Barr’s Think Traffic blog post, The Ultimate Guide to Finding Your Unique Selling Proposition, he brilliantly communicates just how you can change the game in your favor by harnessing the power of a unique selling proposition (USP). His recommendations are actionable and informative. I encourage you to read his entire blog post and discover its insight.

What is Unique Selling Proposition?

I like to think of your overall USP as your reason for being. Think about it from your customer’s point of view. With tens or hundreds of potential options out there, you have to answer the question, “why should I buy from you?” Or, “why should I read your blog, when there are millions of other blogs I could be reading?
–Corbett Barr

It is Not About Being the Best:

When you’re small, it’s hard to compete on product or content quality alone. You need to change the conversation. Instead of screaming “hey, look at me, I have great stuff too,” you want to confidently say, “hey, I’m all about X, we do things differently. If you’re into X, we’re the only place you can get it.”
–Corbett Bar

Promotion is only a Small Part of Marketing:

Building a high-traffic website or successful business starts with your point of view. It begins with your thesis, how do you see the world, how you care for and help your customers, and extends through to your content, products, customer interactions and then finally to your promotion. –Corbett Barr

GiGi’s Elite Spa is a serene and tranquil retreat in Chicago, Illinois. The spa has launched their new website packed with SpaBoom’s fully integrated online marketing capability including easy management of their website content and graphics, online booking, email marketing, social media, SEO, online menus, branded Instant Gift Certificates, and special events, all within a single login.

There is a warmth to Gi Gi's Elite Spa; it serves as a place to reconnect mind, body and spirit. Clients come to relax, meditate, find peace and receive nothing shy of pure pampering. There is a focus on tailoring each client’s treatments to meet their specific needs, to revitalize their mind using the best natural products from GiGi’s own Creations product line.

Owner Gloria Gholston has her own product line made exclusively for her day spa clients.

SpaBoom received great feedback from our last webinar, How To Compete with Massage Envy, some participants wanted examples of how they can use online marketing tools to gain a local competitive edge over large spa concepts like Massage Envy. I just happen to have a personal example.

Joie De Vivre is a company that operates 33 boutique hotels in California. In a recent TechCrunch article they outline how they have used social media very successfully to compete with larger hotels.

Every Tuesday, Joie De Vivre’s Twitter account will Tweet an exclusive deal to its nearly 10,000 followers. Followers have only hours to book the steeply discounted room rate. For example, this past Tuesday, it offered $79 rooms at the group’s Galleria Park Hotel in San Francisco in November and December. The company also operates similar deals for its 5,000-plus Facebook fans on Fridays. –Lena Rao

I am just back from holiday; I stayed at Shorebreak Hotel, a Joie De Vivre hotel in Huntington Beach, California. I checked their Facebook and Twitter accounts every day leading up to my trip. I found relevant information about what was happening in town and at Shorebreak Hotel and obsessively checked for the deals to post on Tuesday and Friday. My family had a fantastic stay and I let the hotel know via Facebook when I returned. The entire family loves Joie de Vivre, we will stay at one of their hotels in California next summer.

This is exactly why SpaBoom has created a powerful, integrated online marketing platform for spas that allows them to enter an event on their website and have it automatically post to their Facebook and Twitter accounts. It works, it encourages your clients to LIKE your spa via social media and take the step to get your posts regularly.

With SpaBoom's online marketing suite, a spa menu is updated, website content is added, special events are activated, email campaigns are created, Facebook and Twitter messages are generated all from a single login. It can handle a spas important online marketing functions simply, saving considerable time and effort for their business.

Just as clients leave your spa, after experiencing a fantastic set of treatments, let them know you offer deals every week on Facebook and Twitter. I guarantee it is the fastest and best way to build your community of avid followers. I am still dreaming of the sun, surf and fun I had at Shorebreak Hotel, I'll check out their weekly deals and consider a tempting opportunity for a quick dash to California and catch the wave.

When Bob Maconi approached SpaBoom to build and launch a new website we were all a little excited. Bob is a creative force at HARMS Software and also happens to own the cutting edge and well established Elysium Salon and Spa in New Jersey. We respect Bob’s innate business sense and appreciate that he has always been a loyal champion of SpaBoom.

Elysium’s previous website was beautiful and Flash intensive which made it difficult to update and a challenge from an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) perspective. With Elysium’s salon and spa businesses growing they needed an online marketing suite that could handle their significant and real-time needs and live up to their sophisticated brand presence.

Elysium’s new, integrated website streamlines online traffic generation, shares their brand message locally, nationally and virally, sells instantly and online, builds repeat clientele, and captures more bookings via Harms Software integration.

SpaBoom built Elysium’s online marketing suite to include easy management of the salon and spa’s website content and graphics, email marketing, social media, SEO, online spa menus, branded Instant Gift Certificates, and special events, all within a single login.

With one entry Elysium’s spa menu is updated, website content is added, special events are activated, email campaigns are created, Facebook and Twitter messages are generated. It can handle all of Elysium’s important online marketing functions simply, saving considerable time and effort for their business.

Now Elysium Salon and Spa is using their new website’s integrated capability to leverage their traditional marketing efforts to drive revenue, connect with clients and facilitate Instant Gift Certificate sales 24/7.

Don't get us wrong, Instant Gift Certificates (IGC's) are a key component in an online marketing strategy, a revenue-driving, consumer-friendly, essential element. We've facilitated over $85M in online transactions for our clients since we brought SpaBoom to the market, so we get how powerful the revenue piece is to any strategy.

But there is so much more to the game than just IGC's. And we're going to show you what that looks like. Over the next few months we will be conducting a series of webinars in which we will outline and define what true online marketing looks like, and how you can conduct effective brand building and drive revenue in the virtual universe.

We'll cover all of the following topics, and probably a lot more, as we tend to get excited about this stuff — it's what we do, and we love to share that with you!

A great website and social media

A comprehensive, effective online marketing strategy should include having an awesome, SEO friendly, up-to-date website. Your website should garner online attention, meet the needs of your customers, and drive revenue in the process.

Special events should be easy to create, and when those events post they should update the website as well as create a social media post. Facebook and Twitter are no longer fringe elements in a marketing mix, they're now part of any well-balanced online strategy.

Menu of services

Your menu of services should always be up-to-date as well, and printable at your convenience. There is no reason, ever, to have an outdated menu of services on your website.

Email campaigns

You should be able to easily create and send emails to your clients. To different lists. For different reasons. Easily, quickly, and if you wish, with no creative effort at all of your own. SpaBoom includes default email campaigns that you may tailor to your needs or simply use as is. Your branding is everywhere, as you've come to expect, and emblazons every single email that goes out on your behalf.

Online Booking

Your clients should be able to book online with you. Doing so respects their desire for easy access to you, and streamlines managing your book.

National Exposure via Joy of Spa and Spa Emergency!

SpaBoom drives business to your spa via our online directories and with our Joy of Spa Gift Certificate. Not only will we help you strengthen your local brand, we'll send traffic your way with our ongoing national marketing!

Convenience for you

Time is of the essence. Imagine the ability to conduct all of your online marketing in one place -– your SpaBoom account. Imagine one login, one point of entry, for all of these functions. Then, get ready to embrace The New SpaBoom.

Keep watch for more on how easy it can and should be for you to be the boss of your online marketing, and still have time to do what it is that you love — manage your spa, salon or massage therapy practice!

As always, if you have questions, please give us a call at 800.940.0458 or send us an .
