If you are considering opening a new day spa or massage business we would like to congratulate you.  Opening a business is after all the“American Dream” and is something that many people talk about but few actually do.  Additionally, because you are considering opening a Day Spa or Massage Business you are obviously in tune with the current and lucrative business trends of health and wellness.

As you know there are several ways you can go about opening a new day spa, massage or any other type of business;

• You can open your business totally from scratch.
• You can purchase an existing business
• You can open a traditional franchise (such as Massage Envy)

Each of these options has its own benefits, drawbacks and risks and there is no right or wrong decision as to which option is “better.”  As a business person you have to decide for yourself which option is right for you, your family, and your clients.

The Massage Elite Alternative
If your vision incorporates providing the highest level of therapy and customer service, we invite you to consider the Massage Elite alternative.  The Massage Elite system combines the benefits of a franchise, including support systems, purchasing power, professional marketing, proven operations procedures, and much more with the independence of a sole owner.  You are not told how to decorate, what hours to open, where you can and cannot open, what treatments you can and cannot offer, etc.*  Massage Elite spas are independent businesses, run in accordance with the owners vision – they are not cookie cutter franchise clinics.

As a Massage Elite spa you will be able to open your facility, or convert your purchased business, with the assistance of our professional management and support team.  We provide you with a comprehensive spa operations manual which contains a wealth of helpful information about lease negotiations, construction consideration, suppliers, marketing, web site development, and much, much more.  Additionally, we will provide you with as much one on one personal assistance as you require to get your spa or practice up and running and make it successful.  Our operations manual and advice is just that – advice.  For the most part you can create your business any way you like, provided you maintain the quality standards that you and we both believe in.

You will be added to our web site and online booking portal and you will be set up to accept our nationwide membership and gift cards.  Press releases will be issued; articles will be written about you and business in our online news service, The Massage Advancer; and marketing efforts will begin to make the public aware of your new acceptance as a Massage Elite day spa or massage practice.

Cost and Fees
There are different fees and costs associated with paying for the marketing program, web site, and other services.  You will receive a complete breakdown of all fees in the information packet that we will provide you should you choose to request more information.  The important thing to remember about our fees or anybody’s fees is that they should be considered an investment and you should expect a return on them.  We love massage therapy but are really here to make other business people, like you, successful in this competitive field.  Everything in our system is structured with that goal in mind.
