EP 370: Daniela’s Debrief: Addo Wellness Institute’s Spa Manager Certification Event

If you’ve been a long-time listener of the Spa Marketing Made Easy podcast, you’ll remember back in November I introduced my team’s next endeavor – Addo Wellness Institute, the first post-secondary school specializing in the business of aesthetics!

We’ve been moving right along since 2024 kicked off with our inaugural Spa Manager Certification course. 

And I will say, after all of these years working primarily with spa owners, it’s incredible to witness the level of commitment these spa managers have to the spas they work at and the Spa CEO they work for. 

As part of that course, we host one in-person event in Salt Lake City, Utah for the students to meet in-person and get more hands-on lessons from our teachers. 

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a full debrief from the event, plus more details about the Spa Manager Certification.

If you are a spa owner, current spa manager, or aspiring spa manager interested in learning more about Addo Wellness Institute’s Spa Manager Certification, this episode is a must-listen!

In this episode, I discuss: 

  • Addo Wellness Institute’s first Spa Manager Certification in-person event
  • The positive morale and attitudes of the course’s students
  • Key differences that separate the CEO from the Spa Manager role
  • Three scenarios discussed at the event that can be used as a lesson to facilitate in your spa

EP 367: The Spa CEO Journey: What’s The Next Right Step For You?

If I had to rank my top shared insights on the Spa Marketing Made Easy podcast, “leadership is a learned skill” would definitely make my Top 3. 

That’s what today’s episode is all about. I’m asking you the one question all Spa CEOs need to be asking themselves in regards to leadership. 

I’ve been transparent that it’s really hard (nearly impossible) to cross the million dollar mark as a solo. 

If you find yourself trying to figure out a way to increase your monthly revenue number, it’s time to consider bringing on a spa manager. 

However…

Before you can jump in and hire a role that is essentially an extension of you – the Spa CEO – you need to understand if you’re in a place where your leadership skills are ready to delegate and manage.

This episode is going to help you answer the hard leadership questions and give you a clear understanding of how a Spa Manager can benefit your business. 

In this episode, I discuss: 

  • My personal experiences with leadership
  • The recognition that leadership is a learned skill that’s constantly evolving
  • A full detailed list of spa manager responsibilities
  • Not settling back into old patterns if you’ve lost sight of your goals – there is always room to push reset and begin again
  • An exercise of taking an honest assessment of your business and options for the  right next step forward

“What am I actually able to do with my money?” is a common question many spa owners don’t know how to answer.

EP 363: $46.5K in 7 Days – How Ashlen Day Ran Her Best Gift Card Promo Yet

“$46,500 in SEVEN DAYS?! TELL ME EVERYTHING!” was the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw Ashlen’s Wednesday Wins post last month.

In my Growth Factor Framework program, we ask our Spa CEOs to share a win every Wednesday to serve as a reminder that they aren’t just problem solvers, they’re achievers worth celebrating all milestones!

In addition to Ashlen’s December gift card promo being a smashing success, what drew me to her success story was how she created a great cash infusion into her business by keeping a successful sales strategy from the previous owner and amplifying it by combining guerilla marketing tactics with new technology strategies. 

Here to spill the details on her goal crushing promotion and share her top takeaways in this episode of the Spa Marketing Made Easy podcast is Ashlen Day, Spa CEO of CopperLeaf Spa & Salon in Winnsboro, Texas. 

She started out as a service provider at CooperLeaf in 2017 and eventually moved into the management eventually purchasing the spa and becoming the owner in 2023. Plus she’s one of my students in the Growth Factor Framework program!

Her business is home to 22 employees, 19 of them being service providers, and offers a broad spectrum of services including: massage, aesthetics, nails & hair.

If you’re looking to see what’s possible through a dedicated promotional retail push, I highly recommend you tune in for a strong dose of inspiration, encouragement and tangible takeaways.

In this episode, we discuss: 

  • Ashlen’s journey from service provider to owner of CooperLeaf Spa & Salon
  • The annual process her business follows to run a 20% off $100 or more in gift cards promotion
  • The marketing strategies she relied heavily on that helped CooperLeaf have its best year running this promo yet – $71.5K for the entire month of December! 
  • The key takeaways she plans to revise to set her up to achieve her $100,000 goal in December 2024
