Sample business plans for day spas often extol
the benefits of selling to the wealthy. Well, there are other ways of
tackling day spa salon promotion as well. In fact, profit may be more
plentiful in other areas over the next decade or so.
KEY CONSIDERATION
"Spas" are so emotionally and
logically tied to the wealthy that it is often difficult to bring them down
to a level that investors really understand. Just catering to the
wealthy is not enough. The day spa salon must also provide something very
special. If, in fact, the salon spa is not designed solely for wealthy
individuals, make that abundantly obvious. There are some very strong
markets waiting for your day spa: overweight teenagers, ethnic beauty
spas, spas for men, and many more.
STRONGEST ADVANTAGE OF
YOUR SALON AND SPA
There is a hidden suspicion in ordinary
lenders that there is an almost inexhaustible supply of wealthy people who
want the luxuries that day spas can offer.
STRONGEST DISADVANTAGE
OF YOUR SALON AND SPA
It ain't necessarily so.
OVERCOMING THE DISADVANTAGE WITH YOUR SAMPLE
BUSINESS PLANS FOR DAY SPAS
What's your hook? What makes your
day spa so special?
There are some day spas that focus on
healthy alternative treatments. There are some that focus on
teenagers and young people. There are some that provide complete
beauty makeovers. There are more and more that appeal to men.
Find your niche. It doesn't have to
be the very wealthiest clientele. It simply needs to be a clientele
that afford what you offer.
Sample business plans for day spas must
provide ample opportunity for establishing both the mystique and the reality
of the business.
No matter what type of day spa you are
planning, there is a mystique to it. Everyone loves a gift of a day
spa package, young and old. Capture that mystique in your business
plan.
Just as important is the hard business
reality of the business plan. Never, never make it appear as
fluff. This is not a fluffy business. It is a real business that
will require real money to open, and real management skills to manage
effectively. Make sure you've got both.
