You’ve invested in a beautiful med spa facility and decorated it with care. You’ve gone to great lengths to create a serene environment, a virtual oasis, where customers can, upon entering your salon, feel a sense of peace.

You’ve spared no expense to provide first-class amenities and luxurious services meant to refresh and rejuvenate. You’ve hired an outstanding staff to pamper your customers with everything from massages and facials to anti-aging procedures, wraps and makeovers.

Or maybe yours is a cosmetic spa and you have medical personnel who can apply Botox, dermal fillers and do laser hair removal. Perhaps it’s an IV spa, the newest treatment trend, and you’re offering IV vitamin infusions to boost energy levels, increase immunity and improve overall health and beauty.

Now it’s time to focus on bringing in more customers.

With all the accoutrements in place, you’d like to increase sales at your spa. You want more clients and better clients, people who appreciate the value of indulging themselves in the full spa experience. Sounds like you need to do some marketing!

A Medspa Copywriter

Marketing begins with good copywriting. A skilled freelance copywriter who is comfortable writing about medspas and luxury products can help translate all that you offer into persuasive sales materials that deliver customers to your door.

Start with the content for your med spa website. Your website should be your primary marketing tool. Consider it your storefront to the world, the place where you welcome newcomers and graciously tell them about all your spa offers.

If you already have a website, ask yourself these questions:

• Is your website working for you?
• Does it represent your salon brand well?
• Is it as professional in appearance and content as the spa services you provide?
• Does it generate new business for you?
• Finally, does it persuade customers to trust you? That’s especially important if you’re offering IV vitamin therapy and other med-spa treatments.

If you didn’t answer “yes” to any of those questions, you may need to think about improvements.

A professional copywriter with a spa marketing background and an understanding of med and cosmetic spa treatments can assess your online image and offer refinements that could enhance your success. You might be pleasantly surprised at how small tweaks can often make a big difference.

When you’re satisfied with the quality of your website, it’s time to consider other marketing tools, such as brochures, ads, email marketing, press releases and promotional flyers.

A spa copywriter can help you gain visibility in your community and spread the word about your spa services. Client referrals are wonderful, but often they’re not enough to build your business at a steady rate. If you aren’t doing any marketing, you’re potentially missing out on business that’s going to your competition.

How Copywriters Work

If you’ve never worked with a freelance copywriter, the process looks something like this.

Step 1 — Let’s have a 30- to 60-minute conversation, typically by phone. We’ll ask you lots of questions. Hopefully, it won’t feel too much like an interrogation; we just want to understand your salon spa business.

Step 2 — We’ll write a first draft for your review. When you read that draft, you should recognize your thoughts and words from your phone conversation, as the copywriter will try to write in “your voice.”

If you want any revisions, now is the time to speak up. You can either mark your edits on your draft or, if you’d prefer, we can chat about them by phone.

Step 3 — In copywriting a second draft we’ll incorporate any revisions you requested. By this stage, the copy should meet your expectations, although additional fine-tuning, if needed, is never a problem. We want to ensure you love every word!

What It Costs for Professional Copy

Of course you want to know prices, just like all your spa customers, right? Every project is unique, so there’s no predetermined flat rate. Once we have an understanding of the scope of your work, we’ll give you a quote before starting work so you know exactly what to expect.

We focus on giving value and have been told our prices are extremely fair. Good copy brings you business. If new copy generates just one or two new clients for your spa business, it will have paid for itself.

Be Up and Running in Days

Turnaround time for spa copywriting will depend on how large and complex is your project. When we give you a price, we’ll also provide a timeline. In most cases, you can be up and running with your copy sooner than you think. And that truly is one of the best parts of working with a freelance copywriter.

While it could take you weeks or months to get around to writing the copy by yourself, a freelance copywriter can usually get the job done quickly and painlessly in just a few days.

Social Media for Your Spa

Once you have a quality website that proudly represents your spa’s brand, consider using social media to increase your visibility and deepen the loyalty of your existing clientele. Start with a Facebook page.

According to a recent article on Spa Marketing Ideas, Facebook is a great place to “post daily specials and promotions, new products and services, new staff members, extended holiday hours and anything else that comes up.”

They also recommend you make your Facebook page informative, not just promotional. Write content that will interest your customers such as posting beauty tips and tricks, relaxation techniques and more. Other social media sites worthy of your consideration are Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Encourage your customers to post about your spa and their positive experience on social media. The easiest way is to incentivize them is to offer a discount on their next spa visit to anyone who writes a post or favorable review.

Be sure to target multiple audiences with your social media. While baby boomers are largely considered the main target medspa consumers, the variety of treatments and services available mean other demographics are worth targeting as well.

“Procedures like Laser Hair Removal, Acne Programs, Deep Tissue Facials and non-surgical cellulite treatments attract men and women well outside the baby boomer bracket,” according to the MediSpa Inc. Industry Report.

Use Email to Target Existing Customers

When someone comes to your spa, ask them for an email address. You then have the means to contact them and market your services.

App Institute suggests using some of the following strategies to increase visits from repeat customers:

• Send an email reminder about your services
• Promote any new services, such as IV vitamin therapy
• Send a monthly offer such as a free service or a discount
• Run a fun competition for a free service
• Offer a bring-a-friend special price
• Send updates about expansions and new hires

When done correctly with professional copywriting, email marketing to existing spa customers can drive repeat business and offer a significant return on investment.

Create Your Spa’s Blog

Social media, email marketing and blogs go hand-in-hand. You can use them to cross-promote and get more mileage out of all your spa promotions. A blog writer can help you create the content.

According to a recent article by the Spa Industry Association, “A blog gives you the ability to really show off your spa’s personality and knowledge in the industry. Here you can share your advice on body care and new aesthetic trends. A blog is also a good place to give or discuss any product reviews (especially those products you sell).”

If you’re promoting IV treatments in your spa, use your blog to educate your customers. They may be fearful of IV nutrient therapy. Write posts about how safe it is, what the various IV treatments do and all the wonderful benefits they offer (including fast hangover relief).

Educate Your Audience

More and more medspas are popping up across the country. Competition is increasing in this fast-growing industry. You’ll need to get increasingly creative in order to stand out.

Does your medspa offer medical grade aesthetic procedures? Why not educate your audience about the benefits these procedures offer?

Consider writing about these treatments on your website or blog to gain prominence and visibility for your facility. A spa copywriter can easily create articles about any of the following:

• Injections for wrinkles in the upper face
• Fillers for restoring volume loss in the face
• Laser therapies for repairing sun damage
• Laser hair removal
• Aesthetician services
• Acne therapy
• Medical-grade facials and peels
• Medical-grade skin care products to enhance the benefits of the procedures

In the write-ups, your copywriter can explain how a combination of treatments and medical-grade products, can help people to look younger and healthier. It won’t be long before new clients are calling to book appointments!

According to the 2019 Medical Spa State of the Industry Report, the average patient spends $459 at a single-location facility or $465 at a multi-location facility per visit. So if your articles bring in even just a few new clients, you’ll quickly see a return on your investment in professional copy!
