Couples Massage for Valentine's Day and Beyond

Couples Massage for Valentine's Day could mean more future bookings! Couples massage is a great way to introduce a partner who has never gotten a massage before in a way that makes them feel more comfortable the first time. Some men are apprehensive about getting a massage and sometimes it makes it more comfortable to have their wife or girlfriend there. Men usually discover that therapeutic touch is very relaxing and restorative. Once they experience a couples massage, they are more willing to book a massage on their own.

Some of our therapists offer a Couples Body Candle Massage which incorporates The Scandle Massage Candle .  The Scandle combines the ambiance of a aromatherapy candle and soothing warm massage oil in 1 unique spa massage treatment!

What other promos have you used to entice couples to book Couple Massages for Valentine's Day and beyond?

Welcome Fall with These Spa Treatment Ideas

Today is October 1st and the nip of fall is already in the air here in Texas.  Although I love the break from the swealtering heat, what I don't like is how the change in temperature causes instant changes to my skin and I'm sure I'm not alone...many of your clients are, or will be, experiencing the same.  Autumn is a time of transition, and the best autumn skin care routines will correct any summer damage that has occurred and prepare skin for winter.  Here are some things to focus on with treatments and product recommendations:

• Ditch the soap. Fragrant soapy scrubs might feel (and smell) wonderful after a day at the beach, but they leave skin dry. When fall arrives, switch to a soap-free hydrating cleanser.  We recommend our plant based Scandle Eco-Shave & Shower Foam, a soap-free shave foam and body cleanser in one.


• Exfoliate with an oil-based scrub. The summer sun and chlorine may leave skin feeling dry and flaky. Have your clients start the new season off with a full-body exfoliation session with an oil-based scrub.  Try our Scandle Hawaiian Turbinato Sugar Scrub or Scandle Dead Sea Salt Soak & Scrub , which utilizes the warm soothing oil of The Scandle Body Lotion Candle as a luxurious treatment option to exfoliate and hydrate for fall.


• Switch from light-weight lotion to a cream or thick lotion. As the air becomes drier, skin needs a thicker moisturizer to produce a stronger oily barrier.  To reduce water loss from the outer layer of skin and provide hydration to this layer of skin at the same time we recommend cream or thick lotion with a soy, shea butter, and jojoba base like Scandle Lotion Candles in our limited edition fall fragrance, Autumn Harvest.


• Protect your lips. Start moisturizing now to prevent dry, cracked lips this winter. We recommend a non-petroleum based lip balm for best results.


• Invest in hand cream. Hands often become dry and cracked during fall and winter. An ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure. Try offering up a Scandle Hand Treatment as an add on service (check out our article on "A Helping Hand for Massage Profits" for treatment techniques).  This involves massaging hands with our moisture rich Scandle Lotion Candles and slipping on warming mitts during a treatment session or wrapping hands in hot towels for soft, supple hands.

What other treatments/products can you recommend for fabulous fall skin?

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas (Part 3)...

Yup...it's true!  Less than 100 days till Christmas!  If you haven't noticed it already, the leaves are starting to change color and (here in Texas) there is a nip of Fall in the air.  At Scandle, in fact, we've already started our Fall/Holiday selling season (if you haven't seen our new Limited Edition Fragrances and Savings announcement...read about it here)!  For the last few weeks we've been covering ways to start ramping up for the most important selling season of the year...the Holidays!  Part 1 discusses How to Host an October Pre-Holiday Sale and Part 2 talks about Creating Holiday Wish Lists and Shopping Nights.

Now, let's talk about one last thing that you absolutely, positively can not forget...Gift Certificates!  Gift certificate sales in November and December can carry you through the slower months of January and February, as they are being redeemed.  Oddly enough, however, most spas do not put a lot of thought in how to sell more of these for added holiday profits?

First set a goal on how many you want to sell based on previous years and then set up a promotion for gift certificates in your event fliers, etc to motivate clients to purchase the maximum amount.  Here are some promo ideas:

• Offer a free service with purchase.  Try using a service you want to build more business for.


• Offer a free gift with purchase.  Many of our customers use Scandle Travel Sized Body Candles  (which make great stocking stuffers!) or Scandles in our Refillable Ceramic Canisters (the refillable canister will encourage repeat business in the future too!) as an incentive.  When promoting this, make sure to list the regular retail value of the gift in your promotional materials so they know the value of what they're getting for free!:)

Well that's all folks!  Get creative, think out of the box, and have a hap-hap-happy Holiday Season!  Have any other successful holiday promotions at your spa or clinic?  Feel free to share them here!
