Chapter 1Introduction to Wellness Industry
In 19th century, Herbert Spencer coined the phrase survival of the fittest. Cut to 21st century and it
wont be an exaggeration if we just tweak the phrase a bit and term it, survival of the prettiest. In our
country, the fixation with looking good as well as feeling great has grown by leaps and bounds in just
about a decade or so. No wonder then that the beauty industry is worth Rs.12, 600crore today and is
growing at approximately 30 per cent every year. Beauty along with wellness ranks just next to health
which is a $3 trillion industry in India.
This rapid growth has come from higher purchasing power, the advent of foreign television channels,
changing lifestyles, greater awareness of treatments and more jobs where the appearance counts. The web
of the wellness and beauty industry has grown at such a rapid pace that parlours around the cornerhave been transformed into new-age makeover centres, style hubs and fitness temples.
Given the scope of this sunrise industry, anyone who opts for a career in it will positively have no regrets
to talk of. The beauty industry not only offers a range of careers from the high-end super specialty jobs to
the more basic skilled ones, but is also expected to generate 23,000 new jobs by the year 2014.

Dietetics, cosmetology, dermatology, cosmetic surgery, image styling, make up and hair styling are some
of the many options that one can choose from in the beauty industry. Not only are the pay packages more
than satisfactory, the growth rate of this industry is bright enough to be confidently banked upon.
For example, in 2002, there were around 2,000 dermatologists in the country, the number has more than
doubled today. The starting salary of a cosmetic surgeon, to quote another example, can go upto
Rs.50,000 when working with an organisation and in established independent practice, one can quote
his/her price.
Coming to the wellness industry, it wont be inappropriate if we term it as life-infusing for our stress-
laden lives. Spas, yoga ashrams, fitness centres and alternative therapies like ayurveda, reiki, acupuncture
and naturopathy all come under the canopy of the wellness industry and have immense potential as
careers.
Naveen Gaur, CEO, Amatrra Spa, says, I expect the wellness industry in India to grow almost ten times
in the coming years. He further adds that Peoples lifestyles have forced them to look at wellness.
Getting pampered and feeling good are still on the list, but of primary importance is the desire to get
relief from lifestyle ailments like insomnia, hypertension and so on. While the global fitness industry is
over $ 300billion, growing at rate of 10 per cent annually, the Indian industry is about Rs.300 crore but
growing at 40 per cent. Both the beauty and wellness industry are set to expand exponentially. So make
up your mind.

About the Spa and Salon:
The ancient concept of a spa (literally, Sanitus Per Aqua in Latin orMineral Spring) revolves around the
therapeutic powers of water fortified with the powers of minerals (primarily zinc, magnesium and iron)

Spas are the most frequents and sought- out destination, thanks to the feel good -factor they engender.
Mineral springs in ancient times were renowned for their therapeutic values, especially in Rome where
hundreds of Roman baths did double duty as bath houses and health centres.
Over time, resorts and accommodation mushroomed around these springs where people congregated.
However, at this stage these spas were still therapeutic .Gradually, more and more people started
thronging these spas to tackle stress and lifestyle related disorders.
Where these were no natural springs, canny entrepreneurs build mind-body rejuvenation centres and
fitted them with modern gadgets. And voila..!! the modern spa was born.
Today, many good salons across the world offer a day spa facility- with or without wet services (Jacuzzi
sauna- steam) as people are scrunched for time to visit a real spa. Here, they can detox, de-stress and
rejuvenate themselves without bothering to leave town.
Key trends in Spa & Salon:As Global players in the Hospitality sector expand across Indian cities, accompanying them are the spa
and the body treatments firms that expect an immense growth potential in the country.
Growing demand of medical spa is also noticed in the last few years. The people are more vibrant to
experiment various massage therapies, and exploring hidden healthy treatments. Foot massage, body
massage, neck and back massage and other exfoliation therapies are among the most popular services.
While body treatment and massage, which are integral aspects of spa , and not new for Indians as they
have known similar techniques from ayurveda, the very concept of spas is expected to boom the ayurveda
massage segment as well.
The Swedish massage, German body treatment and Thai massage are the most popular therapies across
all spa centres.

mind and body. Constant stress and pressure weigh heavy on our minds while long sitting and workinghours as well as a permanently wrong posture give strain to our body. While a lot of people are

and stress was lifted and pain could thus be reduced.
Aromatherapy

which means to cure.

European countries and has now gained complete acceptance in today's spas.
Aromatherapy lays a great stress on the usage of essential oils. These oils are extracted from the plants bythe methods of steam distillation and cold-pressing of flowers, fruits, bark and roots.

Chapter 4Marketing and Promotion
Spas & Salons rely on marketing and advertising to build a loyal customer base; because the bulk of
customers are local and so the promotional efforts should be designed to work for the community. As spa
& salon owner, we may not have the budget for large, lavish advertising and marketing efforts. For a
more manageable and affordable plan, we choose campaigns that are easy to manage and dont require a

The listed are our different ways in which we will be marketing our products:
Online Presence:
We are using Web marketing as a means ofadvertising, because its powerful and it can be very effective,
and its here to stay. When researching spa options, consumers often start online. So we have maintained
an online presence to ensure that spa shows on search engines and have also build a simple website that
contains our contact information, location, list of services and prices. We have also increased our online
visibility by taking out digital advertisements in places customers will look local beauty blogs, local travel
websites such as snap deal.com, dealsonyou.com, dailydeals.com and social media sites like Facebook and
Twitter by including photos of the spa treatment rooms and detail location and contact information,
providing links to articles about spa-related topics like taking care of your skin, how to handle a first spa
visit. Another vital aspect of raising our visibility and exposure on Google is to get other sites to link to
our site. It's generally referred to as getting back-links or incoming links. This technique will bring us the
optimal benefit when the sites linking to us are well-established, have a similar theme to our site, or are
considered an "authority site". The ultimate authority sites from which to get links are health sites,
medical tourism, and other forms of tourisms.
Improve your online visibility Increase web site traffic Convert more web visitors into customers Build customer loyalty Ensure greater spa profit.

Porters Five forces ModelThe original competitive forces model, as proposed byPorter, identifiedfive forceswhich would impact on
an organizations behaviour in a competitive market.
These include the following:
The rivalry between existing sellers in the market. The power exerted by the customers in the market The impact of the suppliers on the sellers. The potential threat of new sellers entering the market. The threat of substitute products becoming available in the market.
Understanding the nature of each of these forces gives organizations the necessary insights to enable
them to formulate the appropriate strategies to be successful in their market (Thorsby, 1998).
Threat of new entrants- very high
Virtually no entry barriers. Any person can forey into
the business without complications.
Bargaining power of buyers- MediumAlthough its a high growth industry with stiff competition
within rival firms, there is no uniformity in product or
pricing.Operators price the offering as per the package. Hence
the end user has limited bargaining power when it comes topricing or bundling in all additional services.
Bargaining power of suppliers- HighCurrentlythere are very few suppliers of trained
manpower or products. These suppliers enjoy a
relatively commanding bargaining power.
Threat of substitute- Very lowThere is very low threat of substitute products. The
automated massage chairs and other products
available in the market do not in the real sense offer
any threat, as it cannot replicate the spa experience.
Rivalry within the industry- HighLargely localised and unorganised market. Hardly any players
with PAN India presence and operating with a corporate
structure. The industry is limited or no brand recall/ value.,
competition among firms int he industry is very stuff and at a
local level.
