5 niche-specific mistakes that burn your budget
Gift cards are 25-40% of revenue — push them hard at holidays
Spa gift certificates are the secret weapon: holiday season (Nov-Dec) drives massive gift-card sales. People who don't use the spa themselves buy for others. Bidding aggressively via Google Ads on "spa gift certificate" during November-December returns 3-5x. Build a gift-card landing page with delivery options (instant email, mailed physical card).
Couples packages convert 2-3x better than solo services
Anniversaries, Valentine's Day, birthdays, "we need a date" — couples bookings come with built-in occasion intent. Show package pricing ($299 for two = better than $150 each because of perceived value). Couples massage room + champagne welcome + chocolate-covered strawberries is the upsell magic.
Weekday discounts to fill empty slots
Spa weekends book out, weekdays often sit empty. "20% off Tuesday-Thursday" or "Spa Day Tuesday $99" fills weekday slots that would otherwise lose revenue. Tag these as "weekday-only" campaigns and pause them Fri-Sun. Mom-on-day-off, retiree, work-from-home crowd respond well.
Med-spa vs day-spa — separate campaigns, very different audiences
Med-spa (Botox, fillers, lasers, microneedling) is a different category from day-spa (massage, facials, body treatments). Same shop running both should segment campaigns. Med-spa audience: 35-55, researching procedures, higher tickets ($300-2000). Day-spa: gift recipients + self-care indulgence, lower tickets ($80-300).
Exclude "school", "career", "license", "DIY"
Negatives: "massage school", "esthetician school", "career", "license", "training", "DIY facial". For med-spa add: "do it yourself", "at home Botox" (those are dangerous searches). Save 10-15% of budget. Career-search is the biggest waste for spas.

Service radius: 5-15 miles (clients drive for the right spa)
Clients drive farther for spas than for routine services — 5-10 miles in big metros, 10-15 in suburbs. For destination/luxury spas, clients drive 30-50 miles. Med-spa clients drive far for trusted providers. Mom's-day-out audience often within 5 miles. Adjust by service type.
