Megatrend "Health":
Wellness-Boom continues
The pursuit of quality of life and a mindful, balanced existence makes "Wellness" a real lifestyle. “Wellbeing", "Selfcare" and "Me-time" or "Quality-Time" are buzzwords that have become indispensable in society and the media. The "Health" megatrend is one of the most important drivers in the economy and society, which will shape our future in the long term and which will develop its momentum over decades.
The value of a SPA:
a place of rest and recreation for the guests
SPA facilities are also inextricably linked to “Wellness”. There is no universal definition of what a SPA is, but a few points are clear: a SPA is a place of rest and relaxation for guests. Many of them offer a pool and sauna area, as well as beauty and relaxation treatments. The guests should feel comfortable and enjoy a break from the stressful everyday life.
The SPA as an independent company or as a profit center attached to another company
SPA's exist in a wide variety of forms, as independent companies (e.g. Beauty Centers, thermal baths, etc.) as well as affiliated with other companies (in hotels, fitness centers, etc.).
Regardless of the form, the top priority of every SPA must be entrepreneurial success.
On the one hand, "hard factors" such as business success contribute to entrepreneurial success, but also "soft factors" such as customer loyalty or marketing effects.
The difference: hard factors are usually easy to measure, while measuring soft factors is more difficult and often involves greater effort. The spa influences many of the soft factors, which is why it is often (wrongly) underrepresented.
Hotel SPA's
The most popular form of SPAs as profit centers occurs in the context of hotels. There is a strong correlation between the hotels and their SPAs. The SPA is firmly interwoven with the business model, strategy and goals of the hotel. The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of the SPA and the hotel interact intensively, in the best case synergies arise here. The SPA can even be the unique selling proposition of the hotel and thus bring it sustainable competitive advantages and shape and strengthen the brand image. In addition, the SPA is a key factor influencing guest satisfaction and customer loyalty in the entire hotel, which subsequently also has a positive impact on the operating result.
It is therefore worth seeing the SPA as a lucrative and sustainable investment and giving it the attention it deserves.
Typical internal Problems in all forms of SPA's and how to deal with.
What sounds so simple often turn out to be a real challenge!
There are many struggles, SPAs have to deal with.
Often there is no business model at all or it is not sufficiently thought out and worked out, which ultimately results in insufficient lucrativeness and profitability. Deficiencies in financial planning exacerbate this further.
A general concept or "red thread" that could transport a uniform and attractive image is often not recognizable.
Weaknesses are often found in value offers and value propositions. In order to inspire and retain guests, you need an attractive range of treatments and great products that match the concept, as well as above-average service and top quality in all topics.
These are all aspects that lead to the next point, USP's. Anyone can do “wellness”, but what is the very special thing that makes your SPA so special? This can be, for example, signature treatments, a unique concept, particularly friendly and well-trained employees, outstanding service and much more. Here it is important to also think innovatively and "out of the box" in order to create something unique. There are professional creativity techniques for finding ideas and methodical approaches to promote innovation.
Value offers and value propositions need to be presented and sold to potential new and existing guests. Marketing and sales in particular often have major deficits in SPAs.
There are also many challenges within the SPA: There is often chaos in the organization and the organizational effort is enormous. This is partly due to a lack of digitization and automation, but also to unstructured processes and workflows.
There are management deficits due to the lack of qualifications of many SPA managers and at the same time a lack of industry knowledge or knowledge of the SPA business of the top management.
Cooperation with other departments is also often difficult.
Last but not least, the general lack of skilled workers and well-trained staff is a serious problem. Once motivated and competent employees have been found, it is important to keep them in the company and to avoid fluctuation at all costs. An attractive "employee experience" must be created, which ultimately also strengthens the "employer branding" to attract future new talents.
The challenge is to link the SPA-specific success factors with the commercial success factors to create a lucrative and profitable SPA business model. And this is exactly where my consultation comes in!
