4 Steps to Market Your Spa/Medi Business with Gift Cards

Everyone loves getting gift cards.  A recent study showed that over $100 billion is spent on gift cards. 93% of U.S. consumers purchase or receive gift cards.  You can’t go to a store now and not see gift card racks. We love receiving them and giving them. In this article, you’ll discover how to market your business using gift cards to help increase traffic to your spa and generate more revenue. 

To implement the strategies from this article, you need to have gift cards available for sale.   If you are still using gift certificates, you really should stop. It is a tracking nightmare.  It’s much better to offer spa gift cards, so they can be tracked with your software program such as MDware or Spaware.

Ok, let’s assume you have spa gift cards. How can you use them to market your business?

 2. Gift Card Trial Offered from Your Website

Online spa marketing is key to your business success.  Offering a trial gift from your spa website home page is a great way to entice visitors to opt-in, engage and capture their information.  Once they opt-in for the trial gift card, make sure to have some automated emails that will go out encouraging them to reserve spa or medi spa treatments.  Also, make sure your receptionists or call center reaches out to them to redeem the gift card.

3. Gift Card Donations

Most spas get contacted to give donations to a wide range of organizations. Usually, the Spa owner gives away one gift card or certificate per request.  Though that is a good practice, it does not tap into the opportunities you could have.  If a very reputable organization reaches out to you for a donation and they are hosting a big event where attendees are paying a $100 a plate, this becomes a very attractive negotiation, allowing you to tap into many new leads and potential clients.  The strategy is to provide every attendee with a spa gift card.

4. Business 2 Business Partnerships

Another great way to use Gift Cards is to have another business with your target market give them to their clients as a reward for doing business with them. For example, you can reach out to the BMW, Range Rover and Mercedes dealerships and have them give away a gift card to every person who buys a new car.  You can use the same strategy with any high end business near you.

Note:  With every one of these strategies, there are many key steps and details that you will need to take to insure proper implementation.  There is way too much information to cover in this article. So if you want to learn all the tips and tricks of gift card marketing and mistakes to avoid, join us for the next CoachMe Gold Genius Marketing and Sales Module on How to Market Your Business with Spa Gift Cards and Get the Full Success Recipe!
