Start a Spa Products Business

What you will be doing.  Ever visit a spa for the day or a weekend?  The treatments are invigorating and relaxing at the same time.  Sometimes you feel that if you had those products you would feel that good all of the time.  But, where can you get those products outside of the spa? 

How to start.  Do your homework.  Find out what type of products the spas in your area are using.  Check with wholesalers to find that same product or a comparable product that costs less.  Compare price and ingredients.  The cheaper priced product would sell with your customers if they knew they could get the same results for less. 

If you would rather buy into a franchise, you can do an Internet search for those that specialize in spa products.  The cost will be higher to start, but you have the backing of a bigger entity when it comes to quality of products and reliability.  For this type of venture, a small business loan may be in order. 

Starting costs.  Look to spend around $2,000-$10,000.  The higher end of the scale would be for franchisers.  The number may even be higher than that depending on the franchise.  You will need to purchase some inventory for local customers.  Online business customers can have product drop shipped to them from the wholesaler.  This eliminates the need for inventory if you conduct online business only. 

Any local marketing would require products that can be delivered or mailed to customers.  Selling at flea markets and trade shows require equipment for booth set up and rental fees.  Advertising in local and online media will gain visibility for you and your business. 

Skills needed.  Knowledge of how spa products are designed to work is helpful, but not necessary.  If you have experience in the spa business, you will be able to tell customers things that the average person may not know.  Recommendations can be made for products based on skin type, allergies, and personal needs of customers. 

An outgoing personality makes customers feel comfortable and relaxed.  If someone is not under pressure to buy something from you, they are more likely to buy.  Work your charm and bring in the profits. 

Marketing.  Pound that pavement.  As a massage professional, you could host parties where gets get a mini-massage or facial with the products with each product purchased.  Ads in the local newspaper and directories alert potential customers about your existence.  If you have the money, a television spot on the public access channel can be beneficial to your bottom line. 

Spa products that cost less and deliver the same quality are money makers.  People can set up a spa day right in their home.
