Expanding into Asia, it planned to link continental sophistication with local heritage and wellness traditions. As part of the concept, they had one approved European product house partner.<\/p><p>In terms of layout, their spas had a separate \u2018luxury\u2019 area for manicure and pedicure and a deep relaxation room, as well as a hydrothermal area, including a hammam room.<\/p><h3>Main problems:<\/h3><p>Although the European-inspired concept was successful elsewhere, the spa chain ran into some problems in Asia.<\/p><h4>1. Tough local competition<\/h4><p>There was tough competition from local beauty salons that provided cheap manicures and pedicures that were performed very well. As a result, the spas hardly sold any manicures or pedicures as they couldn\u2019t compete with their quality or price. Also, in our experience, spa therapists are good at performing massages, and in some cases also facials. However, they generally perform manicures very poorly. This meant the spas had various square metres of spa that were not generating any money.<\/p><h4>2. Underutilised spaces<\/h4><p>No-one really used the deep relaxation room. For example, in China, especially Macau, these spaces were not very popular among the Chinese gamers. They much preferred to be in the casinos! Hence the deep relaxation area was another area that was underutilised.<\/p><h4>3. Unpopular facilities<\/h4><p>Guests didn\u2019t like the hammams at all \u2013 the idea of being on a hard marble table being \u2018bathed\u2019 by an Asian therapist was not very appealing. Furthermore, the fact that therapists didn\u2019t like performing this treatment also affected the experience guests received. The hammams were also poorly built because in Asia they were not used to these types of facilities.<\/p><p>So, how could the lean startup approach help this international spa chain to optimise their business?<\/p><blockquote><p><em>The lean startup has been applied to a wide variety of businesses and industries: manufacturing, clean tech, restaurants, and even laundry.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a4cedf elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"0a4cedf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0989d5c elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"0989d5c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"Give-customers-rather-than-investors-what-they-want\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f56dcaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f56dcaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>2. <strong>Give customers rather than investors what they want<\/strong><\/h2><p>The hotel chain&#8217;s wellness division had built spas and wellness facilities all over the world based on their knowledge of what works in the European market (their main market then) and what their investors would support (investors who had little knowledge of the spa and wellness industries).<\/p><p>However, their customers in Asia were not buying into the concept in sufficient numbers because the offering did not appeal to them. Their needs weren&#8217;t being addressed and they felt they had not been given what they wanted \u2013 they didn\u2019t like the hammams, they didn\u2019t really want manicures and pedicures that were more expensive than local competition and often not as good; and they didn\u2019t want to spend time in relaxations rooms when they could be playing at a casino!<\/p><p>Giving customers what they want is ultimately the best way to please investors, because you\u2019ll maximise your chances of delivering on your financial projections. As Ries says, \u201cRemember, if we\u2019re building something that nobody wants, it doesn\u2019t much matter if we\u2019re doing it on time and budget.\u201d It simply won&#8217;t be successful.<\/p><h3>The approach:<\/h3><p>The situation needed to be improved by finding out what customers in each market within the Asia Pacific region wanted. What customers would want in India, for example, were different from what customers in New Zealand would want, even though from the hotel chain&#8217;s perspective, it was one big region \u2013 Asia Pacific. Spa Balance&#8217;s founding director Sonal Uberoi led the team that was tasked with finding paths to growth for the business and our first step was to find out what customers actually wanted.<\/p><blockquote><p>\u201cRemember, if we\u2019re building something that nobody wants, it doesn\u2019t much matter if we\u2019re doing it on time and budget.\u201d<\/p><p>Eric Ries<\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19e9add elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"19e9add\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47b71a1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"47b71a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"Observe-real-customer-behaviour\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6318c18 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6318c18\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>3. Observe real customer behaviour rather than asking hypothetical questions<\/h2><p>Asking your customers what they want \u2013 whether this is a new miracle anti-ageing treatment or an expensive new health caf\u00e9 area \u2013 is not very useful because they rarely know. This chimes with Henry Ford\u2019s famous quotation: \u201cIf I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.\u201d<\/p><h3>The approach:<\/h3><p>Instead of only relying on customer surveys, it was much more valuable to observe how customers (and therapists) behaved, as well as what customers were saying to members of staff unprompted. For example, in a passing comment during their treatment or interaction, or a therapist noticing customers frequently struggling with something. Our observations were that:<\/p><p>a. The hammams were often out of order for most of the time (because the local maintenance team didn&#8217;t know how to service the equipment), or empty (because customers didn&#8217;t like receiving the treatment and therapists dreaded giving it as they&#8217;d come out of the treatment drenched). This observation was confirmed by customer and staff feedback.<\/p><p>b. The luxury nail lounge was underutilised because local competition made the spa pedicures and manicures seem expensive, and they weren\u2019t offering a better quality of service. The spa therapists were mainly trained in massage therapy and very few were actually beauticians who could perform a proper pedicure and manicure.<\/p><p>c. Some customers valued the European product house partner and showed off if they were a member of their shops and VIP membership. However, European customers were slightly less impressed. This was largely due to the fact that some brands are positioned differently in Europe and Asia. This valuable piece of feedback allowed us to implement more targeted and relevant secondary brands to support the needs of the different market segments.<\/p><blockquote><p><em>\u201cIf I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.\u201d<\/em><\/p><p>Henry Ford<\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-343174d elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"343174d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ffebb3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"0ffebb3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"Test-hypotheses\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5087e8b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5087e8b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>4. Test hypotheses &#8211; even if they are industry best practice<\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Guided by user research, we had some great ideas about how to solve some of the spas\u2019 problems and find validated paths to growth. However, we didn\u2019t want to make the mistake of rolling out these ideas on a grand scale. This would be very risky and potentially waste considerable time and money.<\/p><h3>The approach:<\/h3><p>Instead, we opted to try ideas out at a smaller scale, aiming more for what Ries calls a minimum viable product (MVP), where the impact of this MVP is measurable.<\/p><p>The advantage of MVPs is that although they can be rough round the edges, they can also be specifically tested on \u2018early adopters\u2019 \u2013 people who are more forgiving of mistakes and eager to give feedback. We had loyal spa customers who were happy to test out our ideas.<\/p><p>One of our first ideas, developed into a MVP, was to adapt the treatment protocols of the hammam treatment to our guests and therapists liking. Guests had liked aspects of the treatment, but not the immersion experience. So, we wondered if it would work for therapists to perform the black soap scrub and the rhassoul wrap on the treatment bed in a treatment room instead of the hammam. The guest could then shower themselves to take off the excess product in the privacy and comfort of a treatment room.<\/p><p>The advantage of this MVP was that it was quick, cheap and fairly easy to implement.<\/p><p>It quickly became apparent through customer and staff feedback, as well as in booking numbers, that this MVP was a success. However, we were also given feedback that a massage might make the treatment even more attractive. We offered this at a slightly later stage, and this proved a popular addition to the new treatment protocols.<\/p><p>We were now in a position to roll out this idea, because it had been tested with actual customers and staff and was \u2013 measurably \u2013 a success. However, if our idea hadn\u2019t worked out we could easily have pivoted and tried something else. This is the value of the lean startup approach, which suggests a quick navigation of the build-measure-learn product cycle.<\/p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Using the Lean Startup approach, companies can create order not chaos by providing tools to test a vision continuously.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><p>Eric Ries<\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c82731a elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"c82731a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-adc7988 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"adc7988\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"Innovate\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-92f74ab elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"92f74ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 id=\"Phasing\">5. Innovate, while reducing the cost of failure<\/h2><p>As with many hotel spas, one of the biggest and most common challenges we faced with this project was the pressure of reducing costs while increasing revenue. Although in times of crisis, it can be good business practice to concentrate on increasing efficiency by driving down costs, large hotel chains and spas that solely adopt this approach may struggle in the current business climate and run into problems in new markets, as we have seen in this pandemic.<\/p><h3>The approach:<\/h3><p>Together with the different spa teams, we developed a completely treatment \u2013 effectively a dry hammam plus massage! Our therapists were happy as they were part of the process and created a treatment they enjoyed performing, guests were happy as they enjoyed receiving the treatment, and the hotel general managers of the different hotels were happy as they witnessed an increase in revenue with no capital outlay or real investment. After seeing the success of the treatment in pilot properties, we were able to incorporate it into our menus \u2013 there was very little risk in rolling it out after we\u2019d validated the idea.<\/p><p>The key lessons we learned on this project were:<\/p><p>a. Innovation can actually reduce the cost of failure. By creating a new hybrid treatment, we managed to maintaing the integrity of the hotel&#8217;s worldwide spa concept by adapting it to each market&#8217;s realities.<\/p><p>b. A number of small-scale innovations can provide measurable results. For example, for the spas in China, the translation of key phrases from Chinese to English by the product house partner so that the Chinese therapists could learn how to better personalise treatments for their guests and recommend the right product.<\/p><p>c. The consistent use of young, blond models rather than middle eastern models, no matter how attractive, led to increased custom. In Asia, the blond physical type was viewed as more appealing. This helped us target our marketing according to different customer segments.<\/p><blockquote><p>\u201cAlmost every large company understands that it also needs to deal with ever-increasing external threats by continually innovating.\u201d<\/p><p>Steve Blank<\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12b143c elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"12b143c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bab09e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"bab09e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"Measure-what-matters\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e1b8b0b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e1b8b0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 id=\"Fine tuning\">6. Measure what matters \u2013 and avoid vanity metrics<\/h2><p>Considering that the nail and pedicure aspect of the spas in Asia was not generating enough revenue, it would have been easy to conclude that it was a failure \u2013 and that the space should be used for something else.<\/p><p>However, just looking at top line figures doesn\u2019t always give you a good picture of whether a product is definitely failing (or succeeding).<\/p><h3>The approach:<\/h3><p>The lean startup approach suggests looking instead at \u2018actionable\u2019 metrics that draw strongly on cohort analysis:<br \/>\u201cInstead of looking at cumulative totals or gross numbers such as total revenue and total number of customers, one looks at the performance of each group of customers that comes into contact with the product independently.\u201d<\/p><p>We noticed that although Asian customers were not really interested in pedicures and manicures, European ex-pat customers were still a potential growth market, if we emphasised the clean and hygienic conditions of the spas. We changed the marketing angle accordingly, and made sure that only the best pedicurists and manicurists offered these treatments. We also offered preferential pricing and value-added promotion (this is a good way to grow your \u2018test\u2019 group). As a result, we saw an increase in uptake from European customers.<\/p><p>In terms of measuring the performance of the spas, we also looked carefully at the drop-through or flow through rate, which is a KPI that is increasingly being used in the hotel industry.<\/p><p>It was no use for us to be generating an extra x% of revenue through our business optimisation strategy, if this extra revenue has not made the business grow in terms of profits.<\/p><p>The drop-through or flow-through analysis measures the difference, or variance, between profitability and revenue. There are many ways this can be done, but the way we measure the rate is to compare your current year\u2019s figures with those of last year\u2019s instead of only measuring yourself against your budget. This gives you a real picture of how your business is growing.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_2924\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2924\" style=\"width: 950px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"wp-image-2924 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.spa-balance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/005-high-res-e1425284932276.jpg?resize=800%2C534&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.spa-balance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/005-high-res-e1425284932276.jpg?w=950&amp;ssl=1 950w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.spa-balance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/005-high-res-e1425284932276.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.spa-balance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/005-high-res-e1425284932276.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.spa-balance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/005-high-res-e1425284932276.jpg?resize=16%2C12&amp;ssl=1 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2924\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">So Spa with L&#8217;Occitane, Sofitel Macau<\/figcaption><\/figure><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Instead of looking at cumulative totals or gross numbers such as total revenue and total number of customers, one looks at the performance of each group of customers that comes into contact with the product independently.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><p>Eric Ries<\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9addc69 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"9addc69\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cab942f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cab942f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Conclusion<\/h2><p>The lean startup approach is a valuable way for spa businesses of all sizes to identify paths to growth. By emphasising the importance of finding out what customers actually want, as well as by proving this through MVPs, it reduces the risk of failure while offering all the advantages of innovation. However, it\u2019s probably fair to say that the lean startup approach is hardly revolutionary. Many of us on the business side of the spa industry have been using some of the \u2018lean startup techniques\u2019 for years without identifying them as such! That said, learning to apply this approach in a more strategic manner promises considerable returns for spa businesses, whether they are starting-up, expanding or stagnating.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f664568 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f664568\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6176f8a\" data-id=\"6176f8a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a37ac40 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a37ac40\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.spa-balance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Conclusion-3-no-logo-e1417011177769.jpg?fit=450%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2765 lazyload\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 450px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 450\/450;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fdb0b0b\" data-id=\"fdb0b0b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdb0927 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cdb0927\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Are you accurately measuring your spa's performance?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8912d8b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8912d8b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It isn&#8217;t always easy to know what Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are relevant for your spa or wellness facility.
