        EP 325: Master Your Brand Messaging with Maya Elious

        Packaging your business’s vision into a brand is much more than just selecting a color palette and approving a logo. 

         

        Yes, these are visual elements for brand representation, but a brand at its core is heavily focused around who the company is and why customers should support the mission or cause. 

         

        Branding is an intangible concept that business owners struggle to define because being able to communicate your niche and messaging isn’t a quick task to complete. 

         

        If you’re sitting here thinking “that’s me,” take a deep breath, you’re not alone in these feelings. 

         

        The truth is the foundation of everything you bring to life becomes part of your branding, which is why you need the right messaging to articulate your value to your ideal audience. 

         

        My guest on today’s episode is a personal branding strategist who is the CEO of Built To Impact, a coaching and consulting company that helps faith-based female entrepreneurs build a high-end coaching business.

         

        Maya Elious, who says her mission is  to help women monetize their gifts so they can create impact and build wealth, has helped hundreds of clients get clear on their message, confidently increase their prices, and have successful five-figure launches. 

         

        In this episode, we discuss: 

         

        • Importance of defining your niche for business expansion
        • Building a personal brand as a spa owner
        • The role your mindset plays in entrepreneurship
        • How to combat negative thoughts and the comparison game in business
        • Mastering language that speaks to the client’s pain and the desires
        • The stages of marketing your business

                EP 322: Mastering Memberships with Mangomint’s Marchelle McKeirnan

                The consistency of cash flow alone may seem like a good enough reason to consider launching and growing a membership. 

                 

                It’s such a great feeling to not start at $0 every month. 

                 

                Weighing the pros and cons, here are a few more to add to the pros side.  

                 

                For starters, if you plan with your ideal exit strategy in mind, this recurring revenue gives you leverage if you ever decide to sell your company.

                 

                Memberships are also great for client retention and creating a VIP experience for your loyal clients.

                 

                So what are the cons? Are there any? 

                 

                Tune in to today’s episode where Mangomint’s VP of Sales, Marchelle McKeirnan, joins me to talk about the best strategies to consider when launching a new membership in a spa. 

                 

                Marchelle, a former salon owner who sold her business, shares details about her experiences with membership, the Mangomint membership feature, and her take on how memberships should be approached.

                 

                In this episode, we discuss: 

                 

                • Defining your exit strategy and the benefits memberships can provide for it
                • Priceless value recurring revenue adds to your spa
                • Mangomint’s membership feature and how it works
                • Why you need to keep your memberships simple
                • Importance of viewing your membership as a premium and not a discount
                • Understanding your own entrepreneurial bandwidth

                    EP 320: Deepening the Client Experience with Boulevard’s Education Manager, Skya Jones

                    When you’re busy running a business, finding the spare time to sit and select a spa software can be challenging and oftentimes put on the backburner.

                     

                    You may be eager to just pick one that easily books and takes payments, but a spa software is capable of so much more like alleviating miniscule tasks from your daily routine.

                     

                    My goal is to introduce you to as many options as possible so that you can easily listen, review, and make an informed decision.

                     

                    Boulevard is focused on giving spa owners time back to focus on deepening client relationships. They aim to take the heavy lifting off your shoulders so you can get back to what’s most important to you – the client experience.

                     

                    Boulevard coins itself as the “software for self-care.” The software is the first and only scheduling, management, and client experience platform for appointment-based, self-care businesses.

                     

                    Joining me for the latest interview in the Spa Software Series is Skya Jones, MedSpa Education Manager and in-house aesthetics expert at Boulevard, where she works directly with the company’s staff and MedSpa customers to help design memorable client experiences. 

                     

                    Tune into this episode as Skya explains all the features Boulevard has to offer its customers in automation, booking, retail, and reporting. 

                     

                    In this episode, we discuss: 

                     

                    • Who Boulevard serves and the level of business the software works best for
                    • How Boulevard is living up to its core value of providing best customer service
                    • Features that make Boulevard stand out among its competitors
                    • The integration between Boulevard and partners like Shopify to streamline retail sales
                    • Easy access to know your KPIs with Boulevard reporting

                      EP 319: How Vagaro’s Automated System Runs Part of Your Business with VP of Marketing, Charity Hudnall

                      A personal touch is never going out of style, but what if I told you that you could maximize your efforts to save time in your spa with a little help from tech?

                      Adding personalized value for client relationships paired with automated marketing and booking features is top of mind for Vagaro, the business management software for companies and entrepreneurs in the beauty, wellness, and fitness industries.

                      I’m a big supporter of utilizing software to take some of the heavy lifting off your shoulders alongside the systems in your spa. 

                      With that being said – it’s impossible for me to truly answer the question I get asked all the time – “what’s the best spa scheduling software out there?”

                      Best is subjective based on your spa’s needs and desires. My goal is to introduce you to a variety of options for spa scheduling software so that you can make the best informed decision for your business.

                      Joining me for the latest interview in this series is Charity Hudnall, VP of Marketing at Vagaro, a company that gives back a business owner’s most valuable resource: time.

                      Tune into this episode as Charity gives me all the details about how Vagaro’s software helps you run your business with automated features in marketing, booking, and listing, plus a new feature just launched called Vagaro Pay Later. 

                      In this episode, we discuss: 

                      • Vagaro’s ideal customer – the type of spa and level of business the software works best for
                      • Features that help Vagaro stand out from other spa scheduling softwares
                      • The launch of a new feature, Vagaro Pay Later, and the feedback received from current customers
                      • How automation helps maximize time when setting up marketing and booking strategies for upselling and stay connected with clients
                      • Charity’s take on how Vagaro can be used to grow and scale your spa business

                          The greatest adventure of a woman’s life will be the journey she takes to unlock her feminine power.

                           

                          Reclaiming that power helps women turn negative self-talk into empowering thoughts.
