4 tips how to attract millennials to spas

Special procedures during the day, relax at night. This is what millennials might answer if you asked them about their ideal spa holiday. Remember that the older ones are already experiencing issues related to a sedentary lifestyle. Stress, excessive weight, back and joints problems… The list goes on.

Internet provides plenty of methods and tips that millennials are willing to test and pay for. At the same time, they overlook what is just under their nose. This is partially due to the fact that traditional spa industry did not fully use benefits of the digital era and the most advanced tool is often the use of discount portals.

To make a change, you only need to understand the following characteristics of this generation and adjust your marketing strategies accordingly. Hungary has a lot to offer, we only need to improve the way we promote it.

What are millennials like and how to adapt to them?

1. Use their interest in health

It’s not that older generations do not care about health. Millennials simply have access to plenty of information they can study and, naturally, plenty of opportunities they can choose from. They know what their problems are and how to solve them. They are looking for someone who would explain benefits of certain services and sell the services to them.

Millennials also make sure that you give them exactly what you promised. Millennials compare actual experience with their expectations. If they are satisfied and reality matches their expectations, they will be happy to share their opinion with others. However, if they are dissatisfied, you are in for trouble.

2. Offer tailor-made solutions

Millennials are people who do not like to call travel agencies, they prefer to solve everything online. Additionally, standardized solutions are no fun if they can find a tailor-made product.

At Spalneo, customers choose a facility based on health issues they need to tackle. Visitors will never come with false expectations. You will attract only those who you can really help. Spalneo will align client’s expectations with your services.

3. Strengthen personal contact where it is necessary and reduce it where it is not

Let’s face it. When millennials search or book services, personal contact does not seem important to them. Sometimes it is even a barrier. Millennials love self-service. They were taught to love it by Uber or AirBnB. They need to access information quickly and understand all benefits easily. Then they know what to expect. And personal contact does not make it any easier.

But it is not only about technology. They like to get in touch with people and expect more than just a transaction. They seek authenticity, spontaneity, unique experience and perfect service and helpfulness as an integral part. Only another human being can provide all of this.

Spalneo will give them all necessary information about you and your services in one place, so that they can book your services the second they make a decision. Your only task is to give them services that you are the best at.

4. Technologies must run perfectly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

For millennials, technologies are standard. They are used to cool solutions and hate chaos, confusion and slowness. A slow and unattractive web site with user-unfriendly environment where one cannot find what they are looking for can cost you a customer.

Spalneo’s job is to help clients find information easily and quickly pay in a few seconds, so that the whole process does not consume more time than necessary.

What is the conclusion?

Problems of millennials are not different from their parents’ problems. The spa industry has been helping with such issues for generations. Unfortunately, young people do not know that, as spa managers do not use channels and ways of communication that millennials expect and do not eliminate outdated stereotypes which are still present in young people’s minds.

There is no doubt that thermal spas provide plenty of benefits. The challenge of spa managers is to change the mindset of millennials. Modernizing the way you sell is the first step towards success. What is more difficult is to convince younger generation of your relevance. This is a long-distance run, but a more educative and visually attractive content can help us promote spas and upgrade them to a better version of themselves.
