3. The Role
of Your Menu

4. It Tells the “Story”
• Shares your
treatment vision with
your potential clients
• Describes
your capabilities
• Paints a picture of
how they “could” feel
• Addresses Logistics
– Prices, hours, location

5. It Helps Them to Project
• How will I feel
when I visit this
spa?
• What will be the
benefit of
spending this
time/money?

6. But Most of All . . .
• It has to convince a
prospective client
of two things
– That you can offer
them the right
treatment at the right
price & time
– That their visit with
you will deliver high
value

7. Creating a Sales-
Driving Menu

8. Principles to Consider
• Reflect the
vision/philosophy
of your spa
• Photography
• Organization
of content
• Ease of use
• Keepsake quality

9. Layout
• Do not list most
popular services
first!
• Keep modalities
together
• Get design
assistance as
needed

10. Consumer Response to Choice
• Option quantity
– More items increase chance
of optimal choice (Wright &
Barbour, 1975)
– Volume of items influences
final choice (Glazer, Kahn &
Moore 1991)
– BUT, too many
unacceptable items detract
• Takes too long to evaluate
• All choices might be wrong

11. Choice continued
• Types of options
– Consumer is looking
for a moderate level
of distinctiveness
– More unique
choices add value
– Jam study (Iyengar &
Lepper, 2000)
