Is your spa and wellness business ready for Visit Malaysia 2020?

Malaysia is set to receive as high as 30 million tourists from all over the world for the Visit Malaysia 2020 program. More than 50% of them will come from the ASEAN region, China, India, Japan, America, U.K and Germany. Travellers from these countries are smart and savvy. They are the people who know exactly what they want, with high expectations and are willing to spend their money provided they see the value of the products and services and how it benefits them.

So what is the estimation of visitors coming into Malaysia next year? 30 million visitors! That is like one visitor for every citizen of this country. That would also mean that there’s plenty of opportunities to go by. On top of that, it was remarked in NST that Malaysia is the top 10 country in the Asia Pacific, known for wellness tourism. As a spa and wellness centre owner, you no longer need to worry about the demand. It will come in due time. Your focus now must be on giving them the best products and services. 

Remember, most of these tourists coming in next year are new visitors to this country and eventually to your spa and wellness centre. You only have one chance to make the best impression with hopes that they would recommend you to their friends and family back home. Don’t forget that they are also equipped with a very powerful promotional tool in their hands – smartphone and social media. Do your thing right and they’re willing to share their experience with the world. 

But, good products and services without proper management foresight are like having the best Char Kueh Teow stall in town with no proper planning to run it. Your orders will get mixed up and wrong. Your staff will be demoralized having to endure the quick moving around and correcting the wrongs. The service will be slow, chaotic and forget about repeat customers and word of mouth despite having the best product. Worst off you end up losing more money than before. That is the last thing you want to happen don’t you?

We trust that you already have the most dedicated and talented staff for your spa and wellness business. You’ve decorated and furnished your premise to become the most tranquil centre you could possibly imagine. You also have lined up the best massage oils, body scrubs and aromatherapy candles ready to be sold.

So why haven’t you invested in a system that not only draws in the crowd before they reach our country but the best scheduling system specifically made for your top-notch spa and wellness premise? How could you overlook a very important element of running a modern-day spa and wellness centre without a powerful and user-friendly tool to manage all those products and services? Do these areas intimidate you and take a lot of your time and energy to manage?

Plan for a successful marketing campaign

In order to plan and implement a successful marketing campaign, a business must be equipped with the appropriate tools and resources. This is especially true for establishments that offer spa, health, beauty, wellness, or tattoo services. These businesses achieve sustainability or profitability by cultivating repeat customers.

This is where Aoikumo’s marketing module comes into the picture. With this module, business owners can significantly grow their customer base by regularly running marketing campaigns through email or SMS blasts. This is a marketing strategy that’s very effective because it’s direct, targeted and easily manageable.

What is an e-mail or SMS blast?

Let’s say for instance that a spa or beauty center has just come up with a new offer and it wants to tell its customers about it. That’s where the roadblock starts: these spas or beauty centers will only target customers who walk-in or visit their Facebook page. What about the existing customers who already tried and loved the service?

This is where spas or beauty centers are able to make use of the marketing module available in Aoikumo to create a message that will then be sent in mass through emails or texts to customers.

It’s not only lightning fast, but also cost-effective. Businesses can reach thousands of customers in just a matter of minutes.

Additional Benefits of Aoikumo’s Marketing Module

The software also has the capability to collect and analyze demographic data from customers. This further helps business owners in narrowing down their target markets by location, gender, age, or other categories. In a nutshell, it’s the perfect tool in performing targeted marketing campaigns. Business owners like you can organize customers based on any category then use these categories as reference points on whether a customer should receive the email or SMS offer. It sounds complicated at first but with our demonstration and assistance it’s rather easy to understand and implement.

Last but not the least, business owners have the capability to fully customize their email and SMS blasts to ensure that these cater to the needs and wants of the recipients. For example, customer A who receives an email message that can be completely different from the one that customer B receives. It’s a very smart move because both parties win. The recipients get exactly what they need and the business owners reach their customers faster than ever.

Another great thing about Aoikumo’s marketing modules is that these are hosted and managed in the cloud. This means that they don’t require infrastructure on the part of the business owners. Furthermore, the software is usually flexible and scalable. It’s the perfect solution for business owners who are looking for ways on how to grow their bottom line.
