Post Holilday Winter Blues: Offering Treatments that Rejuvenate and Restore

Once we get past the holiday season, many of your clients will suffer from the post holiday winter blues. These clients will come to you feeling down and out and need a pick me up. And they will be coming to the right place, your spa.

Coming into a spa is an invigorating experience in itself. But if your client is feeling blue then you have an even more important responsibility than normal. Make sure that they experience treatments that will make them feel better. One of the best is one of the simplest – the traditional massage.

A massage is a truly hedonistic pleasure as anyone who has experienced one will attest. However it also has health benefits, assisting the blood flow throughout the body and relieving stress. Some clients become so relaxed when enjoying a professional massage that they fall asleep right on the massage table. That really indicates a release of stress.

Another treatment that rejuvenates and restores and is always a hit is the simple facial. Exfoliation, cleaning out the pores of the skin is health, but it also feels really good to the person receiving it. Suggest that your clients try a facial. And if they have not done so before, then encourage them with a post holiday special price. Knock a few dollars off and see the number of clients trying a facial increase. It will make them happier and it will fill up your cash register.

How many of your clients are complaining about excess hair? If your business offers intense pulsed light therapy or laser hair removal then right after the holiday season is the perfect time to encourage them to engage in hair removal. Hair removal, whether by IPL or laser enhances the quality of appearance and makes people feel better about themselves. Getting rid of unsightly hair raises self esteem and allows your clients to become more daring in their dress, revealing more of themselves and going out in public more often. This in turn leads to a more active social life, which in itself can do a lot to rid them of the after the holiday blues.

What other services does your spa offer? Alphahydroxy chemical peels, microdermabrasion, reiki, Chinese medicine or alternative therapies of various sorts? Whatever your business offers, think about how you can encourage your clients to give it a try to rid themselves of the dreaded post holiday blues.
