Could It Be That The Recession Is Water Off A Ducks Back For Spas?

You might think that during a global recession people would be cutting back on their spa treatments. You might think that people would be caring less about what they look like right now and more about making sure they have a roof over their heads and food in their mouths. You might be surprised to learn then that the International Spa Assosication (ISPA) has suggested recently that health spa are recession proof. They then backed this up with figures that showed visits to health spas in 2008 were up a whopping 16% on 2007 statistics. So how and why is this case?

Officials from the ISPA have said that spas will always be able to cater for the current demands of the consumers and adapt their game to match the market. This basically means that when people are happy and have a lot of disposable income, spas can offer treatments and packages marketed as things people can reward themselves with. They offer luxury manicures and pampering body wraps, selling the concept of ‘why not? You’ve earned it’.They cannot of course survive on this principle during a downturn however. People would not buy into the idea of treating themselves or spending money of luxuries they do not need. Very cleverly, spas take action and alter their angle of attack.

Spas can claim to offer people exactly what they need when they are suffering from a period of high stress or anxiety. A massage or invigorating body treatment is usually the first thing they market, aimed at revitalising the body and repairing the muscles that have endured so much suffering recently.  Instead of pampering facials, you can now get a uplifting exfoliating scrub to get rid of all that old bad skin and emerge a brand new butterfly with a fresh outlook on life and a positive attitude towards any problems you may be facing
