Consulting Best Practices Initiative Resources
Spa & Leisure Consultants provide a wide array of services to real estate developers, hotel and resort owners and operators, and owners and operators of existing spas. For spas in development, these services may include market analysis, financial feasibility and proforma projections, concept development and project planning, and coordination with architects, designers, advertising firms, and in-house marketing, sales and development teams. Spa consultants also create or assist with the development of brand standards, standard operational procedures, staff recruitment, training and compensation, product and spa and fitness equipment selection and procurement, for both new and existing spa and leisure businesses.
It is important to understand that spa management consultants have a tremendous variation in experience. An experienced Spa Consultant should have first-hand hand operational experience and have a detailed understanding of how to operate a successful business. Understanding the specific needs of a consulting engagement will enable a good match between a prospective consultant and a particular project. For example, a Spa Consultant with a therapy background may have a specialty in menu development and staff training but may not be the ideal person to provide a feasibility study. A professional consultant will explain their areas of expertise and will suggest alternatives to the client if needed.
