One of the (many) reasons I love sharing stories of successful spa owners and solo aestheticians is that to grow to new levels; it helps us to see others who are already doing it. Their stories of how they navigated the journey shows us what’s possible, and their lessons on how they stepped up their game serves not only as motivation, but invaluable insight we can invite into our own businesses.
On this episode, I’m joined by one of those successful spa owners, Amanda Whelband who is the owner of Absolutely Fabulous Spa and has built a team and brought in over 7-figures. She’s smart, savvy, and also one of my Spa Retail Rockstars who won our Finish The Year Strong contest.
Here’s what you’ll learn from Amanda:
- Her journey to starting her own spa and her top strategies for building up her clientele fast, which she still uses today
- The winning strategies she implements with new leads to convert them into loyal clients
- How she doubled her holiday gift card sales from the previous year in just 2.5 weeks, which led to her winning our Finish The Year Strong contest inside Spa Retail Rockstar
- Why Amanda has embraced a membership program for her spa and the benefits it brings to her bottom line
