Planet Beach is positioned to have its greatest growth year in its 17-year history. The company has taken steps to strengthen the brand and accelerate expansion with the roll out of its new spa design and franchise financing options.

The new spa design will be adopted by existing spas worldwide and will set the brand standard for new franchise locations. Planet Beach’s new look is elevated by a modern luxury feel with relaxing images and a sleek, sophisticated design. The new interior branding reflects the company’s evolution to the full contempo spa concept, offering members high-quality automated spa services that are innovative, convenient and affordable.

Planet Beach offers two new financing options. The first for existing Planet Beach franchise owners provides funds for the new spa design, and to upgrade or add new equipment and technology. The second option provides financing for new spa locations, which offers interested franchisees an easier path to ownership by receiving financing through Planet Beach and its partner Nexus Financial Group.

Planet Beach evolved into the spa industry in 2005 by expanding beyond tanning options to introduce its Relax, Glow and Renew categories of services to customers. Today it offers more than 20 push button automated spa services including massages, facials, hydration treatments, teeth whitening, red light therapy, as well as nutritional supplements and a skincare line. The automated spa is a unique spin on the traditional day spa giving customers control and offering them unlimited access to a full suite of spa services for a low monthly membership fee.

The monthly membership model allows customers to easily budget for spa services knowing the price they will pay for their monthly wellness needs. For Planet Beach franchise owners, the membership dues provide a recurring stream of revenue each month to help reduce cash flow uncertainty, allowing for better strategic planning. Planet Beach offers convenience for customers with self-automated services all in one location. Service times can be controlled to fit into a busy schedule or make for a relaxing day at the spa.

From 2011 to 2012 Planet Beach expanded domestically as well as internationally in regions of Saudi Arabia, Canada and Egypt. “Aspiring business owners are watching our growth and getting involved in the business,” said Stephen Smith, CEO of Planet Beach. “Planet Beach was named in Entrepreneur magazine’s ‘hot trends’ list for 2013 and Inc. Magazine called Planet Beach one of the top 10 most promising franchises for 2011. We are looking to carry this momentum into new markets and expand our presence in LaPlace, Lakeview, Mid-City, Maedaville, Terrytown, and other New Orleans metro areas.”

Word of mouth is the best marketing and our products never stop doing just that. From the members stand point; its value is in the proof. Our products are trusted and loved worldwide and members ask for them by name. They all work synergistically with each other, not only that but most are organic and natural and pH balanced which is key to a great skin care regime.

“In the history of the company, we have never had an operating system that has the earning potential that we now have.  Our top locations earn more revenues than ever and many of them have yet to incorporate the new design.  Even in the days of the UV tanning boom during the late 90′s and early 2000′s, the “system” was not close to what we have today!  Now, when the system is matched with the new design, there is a ‘magic’ in the spa.  We see this in the results of pre-sales for the many new locations under construction and for the locations that have re-imaged to the new design.  The new design is a true reflection of who we are.  We are the largest automated spa chain in the world.  The beauty is that we invented the concept and we were first to market with it!  Our operations have developed into something spectacular when done right.  Now we will go out and fully capitalize upon it.”

Stephen Smith, CEO

Planet Beach Contempo Spa Re-Design is underway and we couldn’t be more thrilled!  We recently had the opportunity to hear from one of our Franchisees, David Mesa and his staff, telling us of the positive impacts the re-design has had on their location. Check it out!

New Spa Re-Design Success Story – Covington, LA

As a franchisee since 2007, this is truly the first significant trade dress re-image that we have done since the original design.  It was amazing on how the sales and excitement of the staff/members increased at my spa as soon as we began the project.  We started early January with the re-image and in January we reached a 21.76% SSS increase. In February we saw a 13.7% SSS increase and we actually closed for 4 full days in that month!  I was concerned about the members being upset about closure but with all the excitement generated by the paint and changes being made, we had zero issues.  They were all so excited to see the final result and the first day back after closing, we did almost $3,000!   It was a lot of work but it was so re-energizing to see all the changes in our location!  Can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings!  - David Mesa, Franchisee for LA0075

I love the new design! As the Spa Director, I was terrified of the idea of closing since my pay is based mostly on the spa’s success and hitting goals, but it actually helped! We exceeded all goals in the month we closed, and this month we’ve had non-stop sales every day! The members enjoyed feeling involved in the change and watching it all come together. I have people ask me daily if the color scheme and design was my idea, and I wish I could take credit! We are truly a contempo spa. Even new potential members who walk in may think “tanning salon” in the beginning, they immediately drop that mindset upon the first impression! I couldn’t be more proud of the look and the direction it’s taking us! It’s going to be an amazing year! - Paige, Spa Director for LA0075

Every year, Planet Beach Franchise Corporate holds its annual convention so franchisees can keep up with the latest trends in the spa, beauty and wellness industries.

2013 Planet Beach Convention

In January of this year, Planet Beach held it’s 12^th convention and received raving reviews. Planet Beach franchisees, master franchisees and staff from around the world gathered in Las Vegas, NV for the largest and most important training and networking event of the year and he event did not disappoint with a record number of attendees! The entire Planet Beach team left the convention rejuvenated and determined to make 2013 the most successful to date.

This year’s convention theme was “Experience This!” which focused on the importance of providing utmost customer service and providing the latest in technology to our members and customers. Everything we do as a franchise organization revolves around this very idea. So, over the past year, we’ve worked hard to develop new technologies, processes, tools and programs to streamline operations to ensure our franchisees can deliver this golden service promise.

The Convention kicked off with an address from our CEO, Stephen Smith on all the new and exciting things happening with our brand and our industry.  “2013 is going to be a very good year. Planet Beach is poised for growth unlike anything we’ve seen the last several years,” he said.

Planet Beach Expo Hall

The expo room opened for business soon after with samples of new state of the art equipment from our vendors, new marketing programs, new skincare products and most importantly a staged set-up of our brand new spa design.

The convention featured a variety of educational sessions to educate spa directors and franchisees on the emerging trends in the our industry as well as provide further training on managing their spa locations. In addition to attending educational classes, seminars, lectures, panel discussion, open forum discussions, etc.; franchisees had time to get to know each other through the Meet-and-Greets, Networking Receptions, Dinners, & Award Banquet/ Cover Model of the Year Show.  Attendees benefited by receiving the most training opportunities available over this fun-filled four-day period.

 “This year’s convention at “The Rio in Las Vegas” was an amazing learning experience.  Planet Beach is implementing so many new ideas that will be very beneficial to every location.  I especially loved the renovations that will take place inside each spa.  It will create a true “Spa Atmosphere”.  Bringing our staff to convention is always exciting and creates motivation.  Seeing the new products and services that will be available, and networking with other franchisees is always beneficial and great to take back new ideas to the spa.  The Planet Beach Convention is a “MUST GO TO” each year to stay on top of our GAME!”  -Matt and Debbie Cross, NC0042

Planet Beach Cover Model of the Year, LauRen Merola

We, of course, ended the convention with a huge celebration on the final night honoring this year’s award recipients and voting on our Cover Model of the Year, LauRen Merola!

We owe a huge “thank you” to all of our franchisees, staff, vendors, and the Rio for making this year’s Convention such a huge success! It will be hard to top next year, but plans are already in the works to make it happen!Other Testimonials:

“I just wanted to give you a HUGE THANK YOU! The 2013 Planet Beach Convention was absolutely amazing! The Corporate Staff did a wonderful job of organizing every detail. My favorite part was the Town Hall Meeting. It was refreshing to be able to hear the voices of the different franchisees in a positive environment. The fact that Founder and CEO Steve Smith wants to know how I feel as a franchisee is empowering.I also loved the opportunity to connect with my fellow franchisees. I would recommend that every franchisee attends next years convention, you can’t afford not to!”   – Mandy Kunzweiler, Franchisee IL0007

 “I toyed back and forth about going to convention….saying, “We cannot afford to go…” but simply…..We could not afford NOT to go!  So glad we went!!!

 Convention was great!  An absolute must for any zee to reengage and adapt to be the best!  It was such a great learning experience for my husband and I!  What you learn truly enables you to operate your spa successfully in all aspects!!  It was like a blown out business plan balled up into a few days of classes, but much much less headaches and restless nights of writing and researching, but instead, networking with those whom have the same goal in mind – Planet Beach success!  It is amazing to see all of us come together and thrive for the same thing!

A wise man said….”Procrastination is the sworn enemy of Achievement!”  The entire PBFC staff is ahead of the game and wants to ensure we all are as well!  They did yet another wonderful job and should all be very proud!”  – Jenny & Travis Batiste, Franchisees LA0051
