Since 2015 when it was worth 166.6 billion dollars it\u2019s been steadily rising. The health and wellness market in the United States reached an amazing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/200130\/us-spa-industry-revenues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">$12 billion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in 2020.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thinking about opening a spa?

It\u2019s a Business<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whatever your motivation for opening a luxury spa you have to remember it\u2019s a business. Like any other business, you have to get the financial aspect of the business right or it will fail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Start by creating a serious <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/alejandrocremades\/2018\/12\/10\/business-plan-template-a-step-by-step-guide-for-entrepreneurs\/#65c2eb2e120e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">business plan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. You need to make some decisions about your future business. For a start, what will your business deliver?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It may help to check out the competition. What services are already being delivered? Are they meeting the demand or is there still some capacity in the market for more providers?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Get a massage or another treatment from establishments in your area to gauge how good the opposition is. Check out what their prices are and who their customers are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You should make some decisions about what services you propose to offer. This will help determine what space, equipment, and skills you will need. You may need to hire people or start working alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Decide who your customers are likely to be. Where do they live and what are they looking for from a spa? How much are they willing to pay for your services?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Plan your expected costs and revenues. A business plan must address these financial aspects if you are going to be profitable. You may need to raise some finance in the form of loans, and you\u2019ll need to demonstrate to your lender that you have a plan that looks credible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmartspa.com\/features\/appointment-book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"184\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/spa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/09\/DaySmart-Spa-Appointments_2023-09-20-16-43-05.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Opening a Spa \u2013 Location, Location, Location<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deciding the location of your spa is a fundamental decision that can be the make or break of your spa business. If you are not familiar with the area then you may need the advice of a real estate broker. In any event, get to know the community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Consider how your customers will get to your spa. Will they use public transport or will they drive? Are there adequate transport facilities and parking?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The surroundings make a difference to your prospective customers\u2019 perception of your business. A run-down, poorly lit area may be cheap to buy or lease but most potential customers will be put off. Look for an attractive area, preferably with retail rather than commercial neighbors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Any decisions you make about location will also influence your opening hours. A retail location may be lively and welcoming in the evening. A commercial location will probably leave your business isolated and remote in the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The spa services you have decided to offer will dictate the suitability of the property you consider. You will need space for a reception area. You may need a retail space, treatment rooms, a salon area, and perhaps other facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/c\/ai\/how-to-build-a-sauna\/9ba683603be9fa5395fab90136a52cc8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Installing a sauna<\/a>, jacuzzi, or other equipment needs suitable electrical and plumbing services. Consider restrooms, an administration office, and changing rooms too. If you are going to have employees, they may need an employee break room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Check the terms of any lease in detail. You don\u2019t want to find out later that you have expensive obligations that may damage your business viability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/daysmart-spa.imgix.net\/uploads\/2019\/09\/location.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/spa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/09\/location.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"spa location\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Get Good People<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your staff can be a huge headache or a source of joy. You need them to grow your business but they do come with an added challenge. As far as your customers are concerned, your employees represent your business so they have to be professional and personable.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s tempting to recruit people with the skills to deliver the services your spa needs to offer. A qualification in <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/treatments\/8306-electrolysis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">electrolysis<\/a> or hydrotherapy treatments may be what you are looking for but don\u2019t forget customer service skills and spa-side manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Select employees that will reflect the values and ethos of your business. If your brand is about customer care and exceptional service, then select people who have a track record of this behavior. These attitudes are vital for your business\u2019s success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The spa business is one where the therapies and services are always changing. Customers want the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orchidspasoftware.com\/float-therapy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">latest techniques<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Recruit people who have a track record of staying up to date with the latest trends and techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/daysmart-spa.imgix.net\/uploads\/2019\/09\/spawebsite.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/spa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/09\/spawebsite.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"spa staff\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>4. Equipped to Succeed<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You will need to get the right equipment to deliver your services. Don\u2019t limit your thinking to the most obvious spa equipment. You will need some much less obvious equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Technology is vital for any business. Getting the right computer equipment and software can make your marketing and customer experience so much better. Just consider how you would handle some of the basic administration without a dedicated software solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scheduling clients and employees, keeping records of your clients and their details, sending out marketing communications and social media promotions are all supported by specialist spa software solutions. You may want your own website and allow clients to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orchidspasoftware.com\/spa-online-booking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">book online<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Accounting, employee records, and payroll are all software that any business with people have to consider.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other equipment that may not be specifically spa related includes decor and furniture. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dirsalonfurniture.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">decor and furniture<\/a> create a mood that communicates your brand. They aren\u2019t just functional.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You may consider having an interior designer create a bespoke look and feel for your spa. A luxurious spa has to exude luxury in flooring, furnishings, and color scheme, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/daysmart-spa.imgix.net\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Mobile-Apps-Image-2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"428\" height=\"551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/spa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/09\/Mobile-Apps-Image-2.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Spa Software Mobile Apps\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>5. Marketing Matters<\/h2>\n<p>When you have decided what services you will offer, decide on your marketing strategy. Being consistent is key. Have a <a href=\"https:\/\/edu.gcfglobal.org\/en\/beginning-graphic-design\/branding-and-identity\/1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">clear brand<\/a> with a limited range of colors, logos, fonts, and even a consistent style.<\/p>\n<p>Have signage at your spa location, your website, and fliers all reflecting the same brand image. It will have more impact and will communicate your credibility.<\/p>\n<p>Have your marketing reflect what you decided about who your customers were likely to be. If they are local to your location, then put flyers in every local mailbox. If people are likely to travel from further afield then consider press advertising.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/blog\/marketing-101-for-small-businesses\/?utm_source=daysmart&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_content=mktng-101-kit&amp;utm_term=blog-cta\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"263\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/spa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/03\/Blog-CTA_Marketing-101-Kit_-1024x263.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/spa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/03\/Blog-CTA_Marketing-101-Kit_-1024x263.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/spa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/03\/Blog-CTA_Marketing-101-Kit_-300x77.png 300w, https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/spa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/03\/Blog-CTA_Marketing-101-Kit_-768x198.png 768w, https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/spa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/03\/Blog-CTA_Marketing-101-Kit_-1536x395.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/spa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/03\/Blog-CTA_Marketing-101-Kit_-2048x527.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<h2>Opening a Spa<\/h2>\n<p>After all the hard work you\u2019ve done to prepare to launch your business, you deserve a celebration.
