Looking to build a profitable, systemized spa that pays you $100K+ without burning out? It all starts with retail. In this episode, we dive deep into the Retail Reversal strategy: we reward retail purchases with complimentary services - driving loyalty, boosting results, and maximizing revenue. And the great thing? It will cost you about the same as offering 10% off products.  Yep, you heard that right.  We cover why retail is essential (when clients buy 3+ products, they're 90% more likely to rebook!), how to systemize ordering and product rep relationships, and how to run a promotion that's a win–win for your spa and your clients.   What you'll learn during this episode: Real-world stats proving retail boosts rebooking and retention How to order strategically and build rep relationships to save 25% The step-by‑step of running a Retail Reversal promo (e.g. "Spend $200, get a free peel") A breakdown of costs, ROI, and promotion design How to launch, track success, and measure a 10–15% retail lift Keep the conversation going inside the Spa Marketing Made Easy Community by clicking here.
