Spa Sessions consulting services range from site analysis and feasibility studies through to pre-opening support and daily operations. Prior to the opening of any of our client spa’s, we provide a spa needs analysis study, brand and conceptual planning and complete spa design consulting services. As a full-service spa consultant and operator, we also provide creative spa menu development, staff selection and training, treatment and retail product recommendations, systems development and quality Standard Operating Procedures. Once your spa is ready to open, the Spa Sessions team provide day-to-day spa management or on-going operational consulting services.
As a full-service spa consultancy, the first steps in the process of developing a spa and wellness brand is to work with you to identify the main objectives and priorities for your facility. This information provides the framework for developing the most compelling and appropriate concept, design strategy and operating philosophy.
Studies include:
• Market and demographic evaluation
• Competitive analysis
• Space planning and minimum facilities recommendations
• Complete financial analysis with assumptions for your business model
Identifying the most fitting spa product is critical to delivering your concept and we have years of experience pairing you with the perfect product partner. Next we craft a comprehensive spa service menu, which communicates the full suite of services to be provided by the Spa such as treatment descriptions and package offerings, pricing and necessary guest information. Full collateral briefs are provided to the graphic design team.
In the lead up to your opening we remain on site to project manage the critical details and oversee reservations, treatment delivery and prepare the team to the highest level of customer service delivery, guest flow and productivity. We provide performance coaching forums to teams, or individuals. We ensure that all staff are sufficiently trained to conduct business at the spa to an international standard before the official opening of the spa. Most of all we have an excellent track record of launching your brand with a dynamic and committed team who are enthusiastic about representing your brand.
The most memorable spa experiences are centred around what is unique and particular to your location. Given the rate of growth of the Industry, having a brand to complement your property will assist in making your spa more attractive and compelling. Spa Sessions has developed many respected spa brands in Australia, Asia, and Fiji in the hospitality space for both hotel and resort projects as well as hospitality development companies.
Our extensive Global experience in the world of spa and wellness, coupled with fastidious research, creativity and passion supports the birth of your new unique concept.
