    If medically assisted weight loss is part of your revenue stream, this episode is non-negotiable.

  • SMME #439 Marketing Budgeting Deep Dive: How Much Should Your Spa Really Spend?
    Jun 23 2025

    Ads are always changing—but your budgeting system shouldn’t.

    In this episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy, I sit down with Tara (my go to ads strategist) to break down how much spa CEOs should actually be spending on marketing—based on three common business stages:

    • Maintenance: Hold steady & replace lost clients

    • Growth: Scale month-over-month

    • Hyper Growth: Seize big promotional moments like Black Friday

    Learn the exact percentage of revenue you should allocate in each stage, plus how to measure ad performance vs. SEO or referrals—so your marketing dollars aren’t a guess, but a powerful investment.

    What you’ll learn during this episode:

    • How to identify your current stage: maintenance, growth, or hyper growth

    • What % of revenue to invest in marketing during each phase

    • Why budgeting by stage protects your profits and alerts you if you're under-investing

    • How to split your marketing dollars between ads and “analog” tactics (50/50)

    • Why tracking lead source quality is critical: SEO vs ads vs referral

    May 12 2025

    You might be on Instagram every day—but is that really where your best business partnerships are?

    In this episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy, I’m diving into a platform that spa owners often overlook—LinkedIn. And trust me, if you want to build real, strategic, and scalable partnerships that help you grow your spa beyond client-by-client bookings, this platform is non-negotiable.

    LinkedIn isn’t just for job hunters—it’s where the decision-makers are. It’s where CEOs are having real conversations, building collaborations, and expanding their influence. If you’re ready to get out from behind your treatment room and step fully into the Spa CEO role, LinkedIn needs to be part of your strategy.


    What you’ll learn during this episode:

    • Why LinkedIn is a goldmine for strategic, local business partnerships

    • How to use search tools to find and connect with aligned professionals

    • The difference between foundational vs. tactical marketing strategies

    • Why your personal brand matters more than your spa’s company page
