Booked and Busy

Depending on how many services are within the package, then even more specialists can be utilized.

Make it Special

When someone books a couple’s day package, don’t be afraid to ask if they’re celebrating something! Your client will likely be more than excited to share if they are coming in to mark a special occasion. Not only does this give you a way to connect with your guests, but it allows you the opportunity to incorporate something meaningful into their visit that will make it more memorable. Consider including a free add-on service as a way to commemorate this happy moment for your clients.

If the couple chooses a package with 3 or more services, think about offering a complimentary lunch as a thank-you for choosing your spa. They will be in your studio for a few hours and will appreciate the forethought. This is a notable way to increase the appeal of the larger packages while supporting local restaurants near you!

With big events coming up like Valentine’s Day, now is the best time to think about unique add-ons you can include for couples who are looking to book around this time.

Different Couple Types

It’s important to note that these packages don’t have to cater only to romantic couples! While it’s a smart idea to market them this way (especially around the more romantic holidays) try not to limit your spa to only these circumstances. These couple packages make for amazing gifts in many scenarios. Friends coming in together, a gift for siblings, or even a bride and her maid of honor will enjoy these packages. The opportunities are unlimited! This is why it’s a good idea to ask what/if there’s a celebration during the booking process. Consider adding a “notes” box in the online booking section. This gives the client a chance to add information that they deem important to their visit.
