How Do You Market a Spa Service? Stop Discounting. Start Dominating.

“If your spa marketing plan looks like a pile of coupon clippings and promo codes… you’re doing it wrong.” – Jordon Comstock


Marketing Spa Services Is Broken (And It’s Costing You Thousands)

Let’s be real.

Most spa owners are stuck in the discounting trap—thinking that shaving 20% off a facial is going to drive customer loyalty. Newsflash: it doesn’t. It just trains people to wait for deals like bargain-hunters at a Black Friday sale.

What if instead of chasing one-time transactions, you built a money machine that grew your revenue month after month—predictably?

That’s where membership programs come in—and yes, they actually work. They turn your clients into loyal, recurring, revenue-generating VIPs. And with tools like BoomCloud™, building and managing one is easier than ever.


STORY:

Meet Susan, owner of a boutique medspa in Scottsdale. Beautiful space, great service—but cash flow? ‍♀️ Sketchy at best. She was running Groupon promos just to keep the lights on.

Then she had the “Oh crap, I’ve been doing this wrong” moment.

She stumbled on BoomCloud™, a platform built to help businesses create and manage recurring membership programs. With it, she launched a $99/month “Glow Membership” that offered:

  • 1 facial per month

  • 10% off products

  • VIP booking perks

  • Birthday freebies

Fast-forward 6 months: no more Groupon, no more drama. Just a smooth $14K/month in MRR (monthly recurring revenue) and a 32% increase in retail sales. Yeah, that happened.

“I no longer chase revenue—I stack it.” – Susan, Medspa Owner & BoomCloud™ Superfan


Why a Spa Membership Program is the Most Profitable Thing You’re Not Doing (Yet)

Let’s break down what a spa membership actually does for your business—and your bank account.

Membership Patients Spend 2X to 4X More

“Membership clients are emotionally and financially invested.”

Data from BoomCloud™ shows that members:

  • Visit more frequently

  • Spend more on add-ons (massage upgrades, product bundles, etc.)

  • Refer friends more often

According to BoomCloud™ analytics:

  • Membership patients spend 2X to 4X more annually than one-off customers

  • Practices using memberships generate 20–40% of revenue from recurring payments alone

Now ask yourself—do you want:

  • A full book of unpredictable one-time appointments?

  • Or a stable base of recurring clients who love your brand and never price-shop?

That’s rhetorical. You want the second one.


This Is NOT Just About Money—It’s About Loyalty and Access to Care

If you’re in wellness, beauty, or medspa—you’re in the care business.

People often want regular treatments—but cost, forgetfulness, and convenience block them. Membership programs remove that friction.

You’re Helping Clients Commit to Themselves

When a client joins your program:

  • They’re not just buying a facial

  • They’re buying a ritual

  • A commitment to self-care

  • And a stronger relationship with your brand

And guess what? When they show up regularly, they get better results—and that makes them stick around even longer.

“A membership is more than a revenue strategy—it’s a patient loyalty engine.” – Jordon Comstock
