Reports also can help to create and run profitable promotions and incentive programs. “We do retail sales contests among our estheticians and use a retail analysis report to get the totals and breakdowns for each esthetician,” Sommers explains. “We give product prizes to estheticians who make their sales goals.”

Do your research

It is important to understand that today’s clients value their time and money more than ever. There are many spa software packages available, so be sure to complete extensive research to find one that makes sense to you, is easy to learn and use, and does everything you want and need it to do.

Don’t try to use or even learn every feature, but be aware of the options the program contains in order to put them to work in the future, if needed. This method allows you to begin saving time and money immediately and to continue to get the most from your spa software as your business grows.
