At Addo Aesthetics, we place a strong emphasis on profit—not because we believe in cutting corners, but because we know that building a business around the life you want to live starts with paying yourself well. In today’s culture, “profit” can sometimes be seen as a dirty word—something that compromises quality or puts client care second. But we believe the opposite is true: when done right, profit and service go hand in hand.
By delivering exceptional client experiences and strategically incorporating thoughtful touchpoints throughout the customer journey, you not only elevate your level of care—you also build deeper trust, boost retention, generate more 5-star reviews, and naturally inspire referrals.
In today’s blog, I want to show you how one specific strategy—celebrating your clients’ results—can strengthen that journey. It’s not just about acknowledgment; it’s about reinforcing their progress and guiding them to what’s next. Let’s dive into three real-life examples you can adapt to fit your own spa.
A longtime Growth Factor® client leads her marketing with a clear specialty—acne. Her reputation is built on real, lasting results, and she leverages powerful tools like Face Reality and Aerolase, coupled with her years of expertise, to customize a plan that gets each client to clear skin.
Her protocols are highly personalized and typically span 8 to 16 weeks or more, depending on the client’s needs. Now, most practices would wrap up the treatment series, snap a quick before-and-after photo, and maybe suggest the client return for monthly facials. But this Spa CEO takes a different approach—one that’s built around both care and conversion.
Once a client reaches their clear skin milestone, the celebration begins. She gifts them a curated package that includes a handwritten note of congratulations, a mini bottle of champagne or sparkling cider, and a voucher toward a future service—along with a personal invite to a complimentary consultation.
At that consultation, clients are offered a spot in her Clear Skin Maintenance Membership. This isn’t your typical entry-level membership. It’s what we call a “back-end membership,” introduced only after a high-value transformation has been achieved. And it works. This spa has built a robust recurring revenue stream with hundreds of active members—most of whom entered through this acne-clearing journey.
By leading with a specific problem, delivering a customized solution, celebrating the transformation, and then offering continued support, this Spa CEO has created a business model that not only changes lives—but also drives retention, referrals, and long-term revenue.
She’s proven her value. She’s earned their trust. And when it comes time to introduce the membership? It’s not a hard sell—it’s a natural next step.
When a plastic surgeon joins our Growth Factor® community, they often share the same frustration: “Our surgical side is thriving, but we just can’t get traction with our medspa.”
And it makes sense.
Surgical patients come in hyper-focused. They’ve done extensive research, spent weeks (or months) learning about their procedure, and chosen your practice based on that specialized expertise. But what they’re not thinking about? Ongoing aesthetic care post-surgery. Your medspa services aren’t even on their radar—yet.
That’s where strategy and timing come into play.
Here’s a simple yet powerful solution we’ve seen work across multiple practices: turn your post-op photo session into a celebration and conversion moment.
Several weeks after surgery, when patients return for their “after” photos, it’s time to surprise and delight. Celebrate their transformation by offering a complimentary dermal imaging session along with either:
Depending on your neurotoxin provider and account level, you may also be able to offer 20 units of Botox or another incentive to make the transition even more appealing.
Here’s why this works: at this stage in their journey, patients have already experienced your care, your expertise, and your results. You’ve earned their trust. Now they’re more open—and even excited—to learn what else you offer.
This is your opportunity to educate, enroll, and elevate the client relationship from a one-time surgical interaction to a long-term medspa client who continues to invest in their results—and in your business.
Now maybe you’re thinking, “I love these ideas, but my spa doesn’t have clear distinctions like clearing acne or offering surgical procedures.” The good news? This celebration strategy still works beautifully—especially if you focus on skin longevity and healthy aging.
Here’s the key: an imaging device.
Many offer a “real age” feature that’s incredibly impactful (and fun) to use during a client’s birthday month. Invite your client in for a complimentary dermal imaging session to see how much younger their skin appears after a year of skincare and consistent treatments with you.
Compare where they were at the beginning of the year versus now. This is especially powerful for those receiving facials, peels, or other services where progress may feel subtle but is clearly visible over time.
These images don’t just highlight their transformation—they remind clients why they’ve been investing in their skin and give you the perfect opportunity to:
It’s a meaningful moment that celebrates progress while naturally guiding the next step in their client journey.
The Bottom Line: Celebration Is a Sales Strategy
Client celebration isn’t fluff—it’s a smart, high-touch marketing strategy that leads to deeper engagement, stronger retention, and more predictable revenue. By showcasing the results your clients are getting and inviting them into what’s next, you’re not only boosting your business—you’re changing lives.
And that includes your own.
