Spa Business Assessment for Estheticians

Making decisions that affect your spa business can be difficult if you are not looking at the whole picture. Ultimately, you need to know what is going on by analyzing your transactions. Put a reminder in your calendar to do a regular assessment of your spa business at least every 1-2 months. This will allow you to make informed decisions and see if there are new revenues for opportunities. 

There are a variety of scheduling and business software’s that offer a wide range of services for a skincare business. For example, you may know Vagaro if you work in the spa, salon, or fitness world. Another software would be Squarespace which also gives access to reviews/reports. Learn how to pull reports by contacting customer services or watching help videos to become familiar with the site. Most importantly, figure out your cash flow.

Keep track of the following;

  • Sales
  • Expenses
  • Overhead
  • Website
  • Marketing
  • Customer follow up
  • Conversion rate
  • Profitability of your services and products.
